CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
LIBRARIES WITHOUT WALLS 6:
Evaluating the distributed delivery of library services
An international conference organised by CERLIM - The Centre for Research in Library and
Information Management
The sixth Libraries Without Walls conference, to be held in Lesvos, Greece from September 16th -
20th 2005, continues the tradition of the LWW Conferences by bringing together an international
programme of speakers to give their perspectives on the delivery of library and information services
to users who are not in the physical library.
Our Conference theme in 2005 asks the key question, 'How do we know whether these new services
are having a positive impact on users?'
Contributors with knowledge of academic, public and health libraries across Europe, the USA, the
Middle East, Asia and Australia will present their perspectives on their users, and their practical
experiences of evaluating the distributed delivery of their library services. Usability and
accessibility issues will be covered, tools and techniques for measuring the outcomes and impact of
services explored, and theoretical evaluation approaches offered in a series of papers, workshops
and informal discussions.
The conference is held at the Hotel Delphinia, Molyvos, Lesvos, Greece, and begins with
registration and dinner on 16th September and ends with breakfast on 20th September.
The total cost is 450 pounds sterling, which includes registration and attendance at the
Conference, accommodation for four nights with breakfast, lunches and refreshments during the three
Conference days, and two evening dinners.
