In keeping with the overall theme of the conference - ‘Librarians, Citizens, Societies: Confluence of Knowledge' - the Asia and Oceania Open Session aims to address the unique ways that libraries in diverse social, economic and geographic contexts are transcending traditional borders in the provision of services across our vast region. Libraries in the Asia and Oceania region are located in tiny, sparsely populated island nations in the world's biggest ocean, as well as in vast, heavily populated countries spreading across the world's largest continent. Some libraries are situated in the heart of wealthy highly developed countries that are leaders in connectivity, while others are in isolated and deprived areas that epitomise the digital divide. While their contexts are extremely diverse, these libraries share a common need to confront challenges - not only to their way of operating but also to the wellbeing of their client groups. We are seeking contributions that illustrate how libraries and other information organisations in Asia and Oceania are transcending borders in the programs and services they are providing to meet the range of national, social or cultural challenges that they and their client groups are facing. We encourage professionals across the region to consider submitting proposals for papers on a topic of their choice relevant to the session theme. The full call for papers is available on the IFLA WLIC 2014 website Contact: Dr. Chihfeng P.
