As the editor of IBulletin, I am excited to present this special edition covering the highly anticipated 8th Congress of Information Science Specialists. Organized by the Iranian Association of Librarianship and Information Science, this congress will take place on November 13-14, with a lineup of 16 sessions focused on the theme: Artificial Intelligence and Information Science.
This year’s congress offers a timely exploration of AI’s role in shaping the future of information science. From enhancing data management to advancing library services, AI technologies are influencing our field in profound ways. The sessions will feature experts who bring cutting-edge research, innovative applications, and thought-provoking perspectives on how AI intersects with our discipline.
In this issue, we aim to provide comprehensive coverage of the congress proceedings, each session highlights, awards, the activity of the executive and scientific committee and the latest trends presented by esteemed professionals in the field. Our team has worked diligently to create a resource that captures the spirit and substance of this congress, offering readers an in-depth look at these crucial conversations.
We hope this special issue serves as a valuable resource, inspiring further discussion and exploration among our readership.
