As Chairman, Bombay Science Librarians‘ Association, Mumbai, it gives me immense pleasure in writing a Foreword for the Proceedings of the National Conference on Future Librarianship: Innovation for Excellence .


Although, the man is a late comer on this planet, the human civilization could advance so much and make dramatic impact on every aspect of human endeavour within a shortest possible time mainly because of the inquisitive, probing and analytical thinking the man possesses and our innate dissenting and questioning traits of not accepting things the way they are and the techniques of storage, retrieval and transmitting knowledge from one generation to another on a continuous basis.


There is no denying fact that the libraries and librarians have played a very significant role in national development by way of dissemination of knowledge and preserving it for the posterity. In the digital era, it is natural for a common man to think of libraries as collections. But the libraries of the future will be more about connections. Libraries are really about

transforming people through access to information. In the past, that meant access to books. But for the next generation of libraries, information means everything from Internet connections to make spaces. Emerging new information technologies and changing user needs and expectations, the library and information science profession has become one of the most exciting professions to work in and provides opportunities for the LIS incumbents. The future of librarianship is diverse and complex with a lot of changes and challenges in the ever changing technological environment.


The Bombay Science Librarians‘ Association (BOSLA) has been in the forefront in organising Local, National and International level events to promote the professional activities. BOSLA in association with Scientific Information Resource Centre, TIFR, and Mumbai has planned to organise the National Conference on the theme Future

Librarianship: Innovation for Excellence. This is the third National Conference in the series which covers all the issues faced by the present day library and information Science professionals.

I really appreciate the efforts of the Editorial Committee especially Dr. Malliakrjun Angadi, the Chief Editor and all his able Editorial Committee members in bringing out this proceedings volume very meticulously in a short notice.


I am confident that the deliberations in the conference will go a long way in enriching the participants and enable them to tackle various professional challenges.
