Abstract
As new educational and research initiatives become increasingly interdisciplinary, it is imperative that librarians worldwide develop and implement new approaches to the dissemination of various research tools and techniques. Many institutions and organizations have evolved, with tremendous potential for future growth, in response to the continued increase in demand for emerging technologies for sustained community growth. But, how about information resources, teaching, and educating Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Divyangjans? How do we envision programs to facilitate empowerment and inclusion of them? What are the roles of libraries from the information literacy perspectives? I will use Autism as one example where we can explore what information professionals, libraries, educators, teachers, and volunteers can work together in the spirit of well-being of this community. Various strategies of gathering, connecting, evaluating, and using information efficiently will be addressed during this talk. It is hoped that this will also contribute to life-long learning that can be transferred in future professional and academic activities to continue to contribute towards economic and sustained growth of global communities.
