We are happy to be a Bronze Sponsor of the 30th Panhellenic Congress of Academic Libraries that is being organized by the Library and Information Centre of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, at the Ioannis Kapodistrias Amphitheater of the Athens War Museum, from 23 to 25 October. The topic of this year’s PALC is “Balancing Towards the Future, Expanding Boundaries, Connecting Communities”.
This year’s Panhellenic Congress for Academic Libraries (PALC) focuses on the transformative impact of AI technologies on academic libraries amidst the global push for openness in education and research. As libraries face diminishing resources and institutional challenges, the conference will explore the evolving tools and services required to meet future demands, while emphasizing the critical need for flexibility, community engagement, and libraries’ broader social roles. Marking its 30th anniversary, the congress seeks to foster dialogue and develop proposals that address the emerging needs of academic libraries and the communities they serve.
