conference will focus on research and innovation in library and information
science teaching and pedagogy, with the goal of creating a clearer
understanding of the issues impacting on the international recognition of
professional qualifications and the global mobility of students and graduates.
The event seeks to attract LIS educators from many different countries of the
world with the goal of exchanging of ideas about the opportunities for
curriculum development and for research.

projects in LIS education and research, and enable networking and the sharing
of knowledge between the various audience groups.  The objectives are:
