‘The future of books’ is a very debatable issue. In the age of information technology many of us often opine that the coming world will be without of books. We will go only through internet and other associated technical gazettes such as smart phone, kindle, tablet, etc. those will replace the physical books. Is it so? So what will be the existence of libraries? Will the future libraries be only the depository of non-printed reading materials? Many questions arise. To discuss all of these issues, two eminent librarians will be present in this Webinar. We are cordially inviting all to attend this Webinar.
