This exciting international conference has grown out of an increasing
interest in using the best available evidence to improve library and
information practice in all types of libraries. Take the opportunity to
experience
a conference with high quality papers, dynamic discussions and workshops,
and at the same time enjoy the "white nights" of the Nordic summer. The
timing of the conference is in the midst of the summer season, and we hope
for
warm and sunny days.

As a tourist city Stockholm has excellent possibilities for cultural as
well as outdoor experiences. Situated where the Lake meets the Baltic
Sea, Stockholm is built on several islands, and is often called Venice of
the North. Whether you enjoy a maritime environment or the woods, nature is
never far away in the capital of Sweden.
