The Distributed Delivery of Library and Information Services
An international conference organised by CERLIM -

The fifth Libraries Without Walls conference, to be held in Lesvos,
Greece from
September 19th - 23rd 2003, continues the tradition of the LWW
Conferences by
bringing together international perspectives on the delivery of
library and information
services to users who are not in the physical library. When the first
LWW Conference
was held in 1995, the focus was primarily on distance learning and
geographical
dispersion. Since then, however, rapid advances in the
development of ICT
(Information and Communications Technologies) based
infrastructures and services
have led to a situation where many library users now routinely
access services
remotely - even when 'remotely' means 'within sight of the library
building'. As a
previous conference attendee observed, "we are all distance
learners now".
LWW5 is concerned with innovative ways of delivering library and
information
services in this new environment. Papers will present the results of
research or
innovative practice, as traditionally LWW is a meeting place for
researchers and
practitioners.
Themes:
1. The integration of library services and Virtual Learning
Environments.
2. The relationship between user needs, information skills and
information
literacies.
3. Usability and accessibility of digital library services.
4. Designing the information environment: national and institutional
perspectives.
5. The creation of digital resources by user communities.
Papers will be published by Facet publishing, London, in the LWW
Conference
Series.
Please note that, as the conference does not aim to make a profit,
we are unable to
offer discounted conference rates.
The conference is held at the Hotel Delphinia, Molyvos, Lesvos,
Greece and begins
with registration and dinner on 19th September from 9pm and ends
with breakfast on
23rd September.
The total cost is £395 sterling, which includes:
-Registration and attendance at the Conference
-Accommodation for four nights with breakfast
-Registration Dinner on 19th September and Conference Dinner on
21st
September
-Lunch and refreshments during breaks in the programme at the
hotel during
the three Conference days
The cost of the Conference does not include flights or transport to
and from Mytilene
airport. Delegates will need to take a taxi (see FAQ).
Additional information and answers to frequently asked questions
