Rising to Future Challenges – *

*New Skills and Competences for Libraries*
*13th International Bibliotheca Baltica Symposium*
*Riga, Latvia, 20 – 21 October 2016*

What are the new challenges and competences libraries and librarians are
encountering today and tomorrow? How do you make your library even more
relevant in your community?

Bibliotheca Baltica symposium gives you a possibility to meet colleagues
from Baltic Sea Area and to share experiences about renewing your library
and refreshing your library’s competences. At the symposium there are
librarians from academic libraries, national libraries and public
libraries. They all have the same interest to make difference in their
community.

Public libraries are more and more public places having new customer
groups like immigrants. Academic libraries integrate more deeply to the
research and publishing processes. What are the new skills and competences
libraries and librarians need then facing these challenges?
