<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"" class="gmail_msg">The theme, <i class="gmail_msg">Shaping the academic library of the future: adapt, empower, partner, engage</i> is partly based on the recent OCLC report,
<i class="gmail_msg">Shaping the Library to the life of the user: adapting, empowering, partnering, engaging</i>. In this report it becomes clear that “research and learning needs are changing. Higher education is reconfiguring. As a result of these massive changes, the library
must pivot and adapt”. The sub-themes of the symposium programme include <i class="gmail_msg">Digital innovation shaping the future of academic libraries</i>,
<i class="gmail_msg">Collaboration and partnerships driving academic success</i>, <i class="gmail_msg">The user experience</i> and
<i class="gmail_msg">New technologies and its adoption by academic libraries</i>.<br class="gmail_msg">
