Peter Sidorko is currently the University Librarian at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and has enjoyed a career in academic libraries spanning thirty-five years. He is also a past President-elect of Hong Kong
Peter’s research interests include library management and leadership, user behaviors, information literacy, and learning spaces. His interest in effective management and leadership in libraries led to the establishment of the University of Hong Kong's Annual Library Leadership Institute in 2003, aimed at developing leadership qualities in Asian librarians.
Gulcin Cribb is the University Librarian at Singapore Management University since 2012. She is also a member of the IFLA Standing Committee for Academic and Research Libraries.
Gulcin has extensive experience in the areas of research support, publishing, digitization, technology management, strategic management, innovation, learning spaces, information literacy, library-faculty-industry partnerships, marketing, and virtual libraries. She has been involved in a number of change management and space renovation initiatives in libraries in Australia, Turkey, and Singapore. She was listed in Who’s Who of Australian Women - Leadership and Beyond (2007-2017).
William Ti is the founder of WTA Architecture and Design Studio established in 2007.
William is a strong advocate of social architecture that promotes a more humanist and socially relevant practice of architecture. As a firm believer in sustainable planning and the advantages of urban living, he tries to imagine a better-curated more design-focused society where beautiful things and pleasant environments are ubiquitous, even in the densest city centers. A frustrated comic book artist, he avidly collects superhero toys and religiously reads comic books and fantasy novels. He secretly hopes to be a writer someday and wander the world in search of new ideas.
The Rizal Library invites librarians, information professionals, professors, and change makers to submit proposals for the 8th Rizal Library International Conference (RLIC) with the theme Game Changer: The Role of Organizations, Librarians, and Influencers in Nation Building on October 17-19, 2019.
The conference seeks to cultivate discourses on the various functions and significant roles of “transformational game changers,” who serve as catalysts for the development of libraries in relation to nationalism and culture in the local and global contexts.
Take an active part in this game changing event as we try to explore the possibilities, communicate differences, and unite in providing positive steps geared toward nation building.
