We are delighted to share that the SLIIT Library’s “SHEROES” project was presented as a poster at the IFLA World Library and Information Congress (WLIC) 2026 in Busan, South Korea, authored by Sandun Weerasinghe and Pushpamala Perera

The project celebrated the voices and journeys of inspiring female leaders at SLIIT, creating a platform to share their experiences, tacit knowledge, and life lessons with the next generation, with a focus on empowering young female students in the community. The initiative demonstrates how libraries can go beyond providing information to amplify women’s voices, promote inclusive learning, and inspire future leaders.
We are proud to see SLIIT Library’s work represented on an international platform and grateful for the opportunity to share our experience with the global library community.

The poster will be available in the IFLA Repository and the SLIIT Library web portal in due course.

The ceremony was graced by the presence of our SDVC/Provost Prof. Nimal Rajapakse, COO, Deans, Directors, Heads of Departments, and distinguished members of the SLIIT community, making this milestone even more memorable.

The is now open and accessible to the entire SLIIT community, providing a collaborative environment to learn, experiment, innovate, and create with cutting-edge AI technologies.
Our sincere appreciation goes to the SLIIT ITSD Team for their technical expertise, dedication, and support.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone whose hard work and commitment contributed to the successful launch of the AI Makerspace.
