General objectives for all partnerships:
We’re excited to introduce you to the first of our keynote speakers for the IATUL Conference 2019, Professor Seongcheol Kim. Professor Kim is a professor in the School of Media and Communication at Korea University, and the Korea University Librarian.
He is the founder and director of the Centre for Media Industry, a research centre focused on the Korean media industry. He is also the current president of the Korean Association for Information Society and a member of the Board of Directors for the International Telecommunications Society and the International Media Management Academic Association.
His research interests include Information and Communication Technologies management and policy. As of March 2019, he has published more than 100 papers in international and Korean journals and 21 books. He teaches in the areas of media management, new media and mobile media.
Professor Kim’s keynote topic is Transforming the Library through Social Innovation: A Case Study of Korea University Library.
IATUL offers an influential and inclusive community of university library directors from around the world and the Annual Conference provides a unique opportunity to share views and develop new collaborations. The theme for the 2019 conference is Shifting Sands and Rising Tides: Leading Libraries through Innovation. Technology has disrupted the role and the identity of the academic library, providing many opportunities and challenges requiring leadership and innovative solutions. These include digital and open sources of knowledge, online tools and services for students, teachers and researchers, and the increasingly important, but changed, role of the library’s physical place on campus.

The IATUL Special Interest Group for Information Literacy (SIG IL) has completed its webinar project: In a total of five webinars, members of the group highlighted various topics relating to information literacy, and described current developments. With 100 and more registrations for each of the webinars, there was great interest in the topics and format of the events.
For those who did not have the chance to participate in the live webinar, the recordings are now available online via the IATUL SIG IL website.
Presenters came from libraries in Germany, South Africa, Singapore and Australia. The webinars covered various aspects of information literacy teaching and service implementation such as e-learning, teaching skills, publication literacy, the development of IL services, and its integration into study programmes and curricula.
IATUL thanks the SIG IL for creating and making these great records available to the IATUL community.
The presentations and video recordings of the IATUL Seminar 2018 are now available online.
