Subjects of interest include experiences on information governance strategy in the public sector and digital library projects.

Each presenter will have approximately ten minutes to give a short presentation in English. Later, each presenter will lead a table discussion along with a member of the Government Libraries Section (GLS). Members of the audience will be free to attend a table according to their interests. The discussions may focus on the impact of these topics on their library services, how to replicate the plan / project introduced in the presentation, and more. The outcome of each group will be given by the Presenter or a GLS member who participated in the table.
