Invitation
We are inviting you to attend the 7th Rizal Library International Conference, with the theme CLICK! Connecting Libraries, Information, and Community Knowledge, which will be held at Leong Hall, Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City, Philippines, on 16-18 November 2017.
Two of the keynote speakers will be:
Dr. J. Stephen Downie , who is Professor and Associate Dean for Research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s School of Information Sciences, and co-director of the HathiTrust Research Center, which develops cutting edge software tools and cyber- infrastructure for computational access. He was recently named a Faculty Fellow of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, which supports projects that seek to solve grand challenges facing all people, including deep learning, the internet of things, data analysis, volcano activity, and more.
Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio is the incumbent Chair of the Second Division of the Supreme Court of the Philippines, and Chair of the Senate Electoral Tribunal. Aside from his passion for the protection and preservation of Philippine territory and maritime sovereignty, he has also been recognized for advocating the development of the Supreme Court’s e-Library, which was among the first in Asia. He is an Ateneo alumnus and was among the very first users of the Rizal Library after it opened in 1967.
On its 50th anniversary, the Rizal Library invites librarians, professors, and enthusiasts to submit papers that explore the enrichment of library management and experience in Southeast Asia and the rest of the world. Suggested topics include:
- Community: institutional collaborations, library partnerships, librarian empowerment and capacity building, knowledge development
- Culture and History: Philippine studies and libraries, Jose Rizal and libraries, evolution of cultures in literary texts, reading customs and practices
- Communication and Technology: social media, source preservation, accessibility, big data, data mining
The regular conference fee is P 4,500 (inclusive of food, kit, and certificate). Those who will register on or before 30 September will enjoy a discounted rate of P 4,000. Pre-registration and other information are available at the conference website at http://rizal.library.ateneo.edu/7rlic/.
For other queries, you may contact Ms. Anicia Y. Corpuz (acorpuz@ateneo.edu), Ms. Rosalyn S. Dino (rsantos1@ateneo.edu) or myself at esantos@ateneo.edu.
Fifty years ago, when the Rizal Library first opened, students were required to remain completely silent inside the premises, research was done by searching typewritten 3x5 cards and print indexes, and there were no computers on campus. Fifty years later, the Rizal Library—along with other libraries in the Philippines—allows students to hold group discussions in designated areas, research can be done using print and electronic resources, and assignments can be written and printed on PCs and Macs. The Rizal Library has changed with the times during the past five decades but its mission—to facilitate learning—remains the same.
This year, the Rizal Library International Conference, with “Click!” as its theme, aims to cultivate discourses on the library’s capacity to expand its network within the community, through culture and society, and in the field of communication and technology.

Rizal Library International Conference (RLIC)
History
The history of the Rizal Library International Conference (RLIC) may be traced to 2002, after the resounding success of the International Seminar-Workshop on “E-Publishing Trends and Issues: Implications to Library Collection Development and Services,” which was sponsored by Rizal Library in cooperation with the Association of Christian Universities and Colleges in Asia (ACUCA). This seminar-workshop was a mandate of Fr. Bienvenido Nebres, then President of the Ateneo de Manila University, and was spearheaded by Mrs. Lourdes David, then Director of the Rizal Library. Consequently, she initiated the move to conduct another international conference for librarians and information professionals.
Thus, with the aim of providing a venue for exchanging information and ideas, as well as establishing linkages among colleagues in the profession, the first RLIC entitled “Library Management in the 21st Century” was conducted in March 2004. Since then, the RLIC has been held regularly every two years.
