Conference themes
EBLIP6 is aimed at all library and information professionals, whatever
the discipline, sectors, role or stage in their career. The themes
have been selected to reflect this and build on the success of past
conferences, providing an opportunity for a wide range of
practitioners and researchers to present their work. Previous
conferences have provided a supportive environment to those presenting
or embarking on evaluation or research for the first time and EBLIP6
is set to continue this approach and will provide stimulating
presentations from those with a more established portfolio.
Research papers, reviews of evidence, reports of innovative practice,
hot topic discussion papers and poster presentations are invited. Key
