A national platform where library sciences meets cybersecurity — exploring secure knowledge networks for the digital age.
The ADINET Librarian's Day Seminar 2026 is a prestigious national-level event organised jointly by ADINET (Advance Information Network of Libraries in Gujarat) and the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU), Gandhinagar. Scheduled for August 22, 2026, at the sprawling 30-acre NFSU campus in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, this one-day seminar brings together library professionals, information scientists, cybersecurity experts, researchers, academicians, and students from across the country.
In an era where digital transformation is reshaping every facet of knowledge management, libraries stand at the forefront of a profound paradigm shift. The rapid digitisation of library resources, proliferation of cloud-based library management systems, and the increasing reliance on artificial intelligence for cataloguing, metadata management, and user services have introduced unprecedented opportunities alongside significant security challenges.
This seminar serves as a vital platform for exploring these dual dimensions of innovation and security, fostering dialogue among stakeholders who are actively shaping the future of secure knowledge networks.
The seminar will feature distinguished invited speakers, engaging panel discussions, interactive quiz sessions, and valuable networking opportunities — designed to facilitate meaningful exchange of ideas, showcase best practices, and chart a roadmap for building resilient, secure, and collaborative digital library ecosystems in India and beyond.
Participants will gain insights into emerging technologies, policy frameworks, and ethical considerations that are redefining the library and information science landscape in the twenty-first century.
The collaboration between ADINET and NFSU brings together the complementary strengths of Library Science and Cybersecurity — creating a unique and valuable forum for interdisciplinary dialogue.
This partnership creates a platform where knowledge management professionals meet digital security experts, enabling the development of resilient, secure, and collaborative digital library ecosystems for India and beyond.
