9th Eurasian Academic Libraries Conference (EALC-2020)
The Nazarbayev University Library and the Association of University Libraries in the Republic of Kazakhstan invite you to the 9th Eurasian Academic Libraries Conference with the theme “Alive to Changes: Engage. Embrace. Ensure” which will be held in the framework of the Eurasian Higher Education Leaders Forum on 16-19 June 2020 in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
The Conference features distinguished researchers and engaging speakers. There will be a scientific discussion, constructive exchange of information, best practices, and lessons, through oral and poster presentations. In addition, a range of special workshops and lightning talks aim to attract participants on wider issues of future-ready libraries and library professionals.
We also extend our invitation to potential sponsors as exhibitors. As an exhibitor, you will enjoy exposure and direct marketing opportunities with practitioners and decision-makers in the field.
The conference will also provide a live streaming link for those who can’t attend.
In the past years, libraries have undergone a significant number of changes to become an important asset of the academic community and provide excellent services, exceptional resources, and a sufficient environment. The rapid development opens new opportunities and different challenges that libraries consciously anticipate. The program committee seeks conference papers and posters addressing proactive steps that professionals take to support the library patrons in the evolving world of the academy.
