WELCOME

EBLIDA (European Bureau of Library, Information and Documentation Associations), EUCLID (the European Association for Library and Information Education and Research) and the BAD (the Portuguese Association of Librarians, Archivists and Documentalists) are proud to announce their first ever joint conference to be held in Lisbon (Auditorium of the Direcção-Geral de Arquivos – Alameda da Universidade – 1649-010 Lisboa, Portugal) from the 19^th to the 21^st of September 2007.

EBLIDA, EUCLID and the BAD share the belief that Europe needs strong libraries and knowledgeable librarians who can help in creating strong European cultural and economic sectors.  Today libraries and the information sector face a series of complex challenges due to fundamentally changing expectations of users. The introduction of ICT, born digital material, digitization of large volumes of traditional material and a shift from the public to the private domain have profoundly changed the library environment.

The Bologna process aims at creating a European educational space characterized by transparency and promoting mobility of academic staff and students, as well as professionals within the LIS Sector in order to promote employability and facilitate integration.  This process is of vital interest for the academic field as well as the field of practice. So far European education and research institutions on one side and the field of practice on the other have, to a large extent, discussed these issues separately.

There is a need to bridge the gap between the academic field and the field of practice when discussing the future of European library and information science education, the profession and its services.
The conference aims to bring educators, researchers and practitioners together in order to discuss the effects of profound social changes related to digitization, multiculturalism and the growth of the knowledge economy.
 

We look forward to seeing you in Lisbon!

On behalf of the Organizing Committee
Helena Patrício
