Morning Session: Discover Modern Librarianship
Librarians and information professionals of the 21st century face one of their biggest challenges yet as more tons of information constantly sweep through our daily lives. LIS Congress 2012 shall help students and professionals maintain their pace with the rapidly changing times by taking on the core competencies of librarianship as applied to this day and age –– the basics that make the profession timelier and more relevant than ever.
- Resource Description and Access
- Designed for the digital world and an expanding universe of metadata users, RDA: Resource Description and Access is the new, unified cataloging standard—an evolution of the cataloging principles from AACR2, with rules carried over or adapted to the RDA model.
- Reference Service
- Given the advancements that the information society encounter in this era, the business of reference service has definitely been changed for good. LIS Congress 2012 will tackle the latest trends in reference service given the technological innovations that we have today.
- Library Management
- Multiple tasks are involved in managing a library, yet a university library. This talk hopes to shed some light to the students and professionals regarding the do’s and don’ts of managing a library – what skills do they need and the knowledge they need to acquire to be a good library manager.
- The Lib Code Campaign
- The Lib Code is a campaign that promotes librarianship as a profession. It aims to inform people on the importance of the roles of librarians in everyday life, from the simplest scenario of trying to find your favorite book to exploring more ways to discover the rest of the universe. The librarian is involved in everything, everywhere, in every lifetime. The Lib Code is a reminder that librarians existed, exists, and will continue to exist for as long as there are questions that remain to be answered. Live the code. The Lib Code.
