Overview

India has had a long and rich history of libraries dating back to ancient times. Libraries today serve as important institutions of learning, information, and culture. Draft National Book Promotion Policy also envisages the role and importance of Libraries – both physical and digital. Libraries play a vital role in the research ecosystem of the country and provides an opportunity to millions to access content for research and literacy in general.

Thus, it is important to deliberate on this subject and create synergies among associated stakeholders. The seminar “Unleashing the Potential of Libraries: Role of Publishers” will explore the opportunities for both Libraries and Publishers to mutually leverage respective strengths. The participants will come out with various recommendations on digital & physical libraries and on the development of the reading culture & literacy in the country.
