Caribbean Libraries, Archives & Museums Conference, 8-13 June 2014
ACURIL President, Mrs. Dorcas Bowler, cordially invites you to attend ACURIL 2014 BAHAMAS.
The Caribbean information conference 2014 is a forum to bring all stakeholders (librarians, archivists, museologists) and other global information professionals to explore and examine in a proactive environment with a two-fold agenda.
First, To define and examine the concept of information literacy and its relationship to other sikills and forms of literacy. To show that in the midst of other educational goals, including functional literacy, computer literacy, library skills and critical thinking skills, there are connecting factors related to information literacy and important foundations for its development. To lay the foundation for a prima facie case for information literacy as an emerging distinct skill set and a necessary key to society's social and economic well-being in an increasingly complex emerging society.
Second, To examine the significance of preservation of the cultural heritage in our different knowledge territories in the climate of technological change while equipping the information professional to remain the gatekeepers and protectors of cultural property and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and bestowed for the benefit of future generations.
