Libraries the world over are facing the dual challenges of preserving the
printed newspapers as part of the culture of countries, and responding to the
changes that new technologies bring on to managing both printed and online
(born digital) newspapers. Rapid advancements of digital technologies affect
the various aspects relating to newspapers in libraries and archives such as
acquisition, collection development, access, storage, preservation of
newspapers and their contents, and interlibrary lending.
The purpose of this conference aims not only at the sharing of collective
knowledge about how libraries can tackle these challenges but also to open
up opportunities for libraries, librarians and associated industry players to
interact with one another and work out suitable partnerships that will help to
improve the provision of newspaper services at libraries.
At this dedicated arena for professionals in the industry, delegates will gain
valuable insights, exchange ideas, explore opportunities and build new
networks and strategic alliances.
IFLA International Newspaper Conference will be held at the National Library of
Malaysia from 25th - 27th April 2011.
