<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In order to realize the vision of academic library for 2020, it is essential to address the issues pertaining to technologies, standards, programmes, systems and services required for repositioning libraries into next generation libraries, related manpower development issues, and milestones to be achieved. As an outcome of the ICAL-2009, the ICAL-2011 plans to come up with an action plan for repositioning academic libraries into next generation libraries. The action plan will comprise new programmes that should help realize the academic library vision 2020, change management strategies and policy changes as required for implementation. The ICAL 2011 offers all stakeholders in the academic enterprise an international platform to address and debate major issues on the theme and topics of the conference. </span></p>
