The SLA – AGC Conference organizing Committee with collaboration with Qatar University, the 20th Annual Conference and exhibition SLA-AGC was held from the 25th till the 27th of March, 2014. The event took place in Ritz-Carlton Hotel Doha, Qatar. Five workshops were also held prior to the conference, revolving around Digital Repositories and Open Access, Project Management, Marketing the Library and Information Literacy Evolution.
TechKnowledge, like every year, has its remarkable participation in this one of the most important events of the year. With our customized outstanding booth, and team members from almost all of the departments presented at it made our tenth-time participation in the event even more fruitful. 

The event was of interest to all information professionals, interdisciplinary researchers, decision makers, information users, information content developers, and digital information suppliers. The basic themes of the conference for this year were: 
  1. Impact of job Markets: Changing nature of job descriptions and requirements in the digital age. 
  2. Impact of users: Information seeking behavior of Arabic-speaking digital and conventional users and consumers of digital content in the Arab World. 
  3. Impact of Web 2.0 and 3.0: Beyond maintenance of existing services, libraries are increasingly concerned with reaching out to new user groups. 
  4. Impact of Open Access: Effects of removing price and permission barriers to facilitate access to collections. 
  5. Digital Information Literacy in Academic Libraries: Moving beyond simply teaching users how to locate relevant information and encouraging communication, cooperation and collaboration among digital media users. 
  6. The iCloud and Mobile Technologies as enhancers of information services: Mobile library services and data searching as well as cloud archiving and data storage  
​The SLA is a great opportunity to meet with librarians and discuss their needs, and for the publishers as well to have discussions with the librarians. Also, to develop professional relationships between information specialist and Libraries in the region.

Like every other year, we represented the world’s most important and leading publishers including Ovid, cas, McGraw Hill, ASC, Al Manhal, Newspaper direct, IG Publishing, Alexander Street Press,  Unbound Medicine, Micromedex, Gale,  ASTM, RSC, IEEE and many others.
