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 two conferences, held in Greece in 1995 and 1997, were
highly successful. They brought together speakers from the UK,
Australia, Europe and the USA who addressed the principal strategic
issues, based on international, regional and cross-sectoral
approaches, arising from the provision of library services to distant
users.
For the 1999 Conference contributions (full papers or short
presentations) are invited around the following themes:
* Lifelong learning
* Integrating services to provide the distributed virtual
library
* Regional library provision through networking
* Social and human issues of distributed library services
* Supporting open and distance learning
* Co-operation between libraries of different types
* Standards issues
* Delivering library services to the home and workplace
* Staff training in distributed libraries
Presentations may take the form of full papers (45 mins) or workshop
presentations (20 mins). To be considered, an abstract (between 400
and 800 words) must be submitted, together with a 50 word biographical
statement, to the address below by 15th March 1999. All submissions
will be considered by an eminent, international editorial board.
Applicants will be informed whether their submissions have been
selected during April 1999. The Proceedings of the Conference will be
published.
All enquiries should be addressed to the organisers:
