The seminar will cover the following sub-themes:
- Concept and Scope of Information Literacy: This includes understanding the role of IL in promoting library and digital literacy, visual literacy, media literacy, and more.
- Information Literacy Competency Development: Discussions will focus on the need for lifelong learning and skills development among modern library users.
- Special Interest Groups (SIGs): Topics like Bridging the Information Gap of Differently-Abled Library Users and Raising Library Service Quality through the Application of AI will be covered.
The event will bring together researchers, library professionals, educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders in the library and information science sector. If you are involved in developing, teaching, or researching information literacy, or if you wish to learn about applying AI in libraries, this seminar will provide an excellent networking and learning opportunity.
