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.

this
approach and will provide stimulating presentations from those with a more
