The purpose of this conference is to take a comprehensive look at how libraries in different countries on three continents can contribute to the progress of society, and to contemplate the prospects of cooperation for reaching common objectives.

Presentations prepared by experts will highlight issues of global information exchange and the impact of libraries on the development of science, culture and education. The conference will also present different views and approaches to the system of professional LIS education.
