Philippine Association of Academic/Research Librarians, Inc. (PAARL) is pleased to announce its call for papers for the 2020 National Summer Conference with the theme "Better Together: Building Stronger Libraries through Partnerships and Collaboration"
The call is open to librarians/information professionals, library managers and administrators, researchers, faculty and graduate students of LIS.
The conference aims to support the Libraries = Strong Communities initiative highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening the communities. The campaign illustrates how today’s libraries are at the heart of the cities, towns, school and campuses, providing critical resources, programs and expertise where all community members, regardless of age, culture or income level, can come together to connect, learn and work together using new technologies.
