In 2011, the conference will be taking place in Szombathely, Hungary from January 31st to February 2nd. It is a cooperation between a team of students and teachers from Szombathely, Eisenstadt (Austria) and Oslo (Norway). The theme for the conference will be Finding new ways. Over the past few years the world and accordingly the field of library and information science have faced a multitude of changes and innovations – and library and information professionals have been given the exciting challenge of changing and innovating right along with them. In the 2011 conference we want to put focus on how to face these challenges head on, through exploring the new ways people use libraries and the new ways in which librarians work.
