Lifelong learning is becoming a reality throughout the world,
requiring that learning opportunities be delivered to all citizens in
their locality, at work or at home, and resulting in the restructuring
of higher education. Libraries will be called upon to find innovative
and imaginative ways to support such learning, and to treat 'distant'
learners on an equal footing with those on-campus. The 'Libraries
without Walls' conferences address this important theme.
The first three conferences, held in Greece in 1995, 1997 and 1999,
were highly successful. For the 2001 Conference papers have been
submitted from the UK, Europe and North America around the
following themes:
* Libraries and virtual learning environments
* Online enquiry services for remote users
* Virtual libraries and national-level initiatives
* User behaviour and training in the distributed environment
* The public library's role in serving distant users
* Content development for the virtual environment
* Key technology issues in delivering services to distant users
The keynote address - 'Behind-the-screen' thinking: What's
invisible still matters, doesn't it? - will be delivered by Professor
Liz Burge, Professor, Adult Education, University of New
Brunswick, Atlantic Canada and Visiting Professor, Mid Sweden
University, Sweden.
The Conference is held at the Hotel Delphinia, Molyvos, Lesvos,
Greece and begins with registration and dinner on Friday 14
September from 9.00 p.m. and ends with breakfast on Tuesday18
