The 2009 conference theme is Bridging the 

Gap and five key note speakers will expand 

on different aspects of this theme, among 

them the well-known Dr. Jonathan Eldredge 

and Professor Sue McKnight. In addition to 

the keynote speakers, EBLIP5 will offer 

participants themed sessions on an array of 

research papers, user studies and innovative 

solutions from a wide range of local and 

international presenters from all library 

types. Five continuing education workshops 

will be offered, before and after the 

conference, as well as visits to noteworthy 

libraries in Stockholm.  

 

A visit to Sweden in June also means the 

opportunity to enjoy the “white nights” of 

the Nordic summer. As a tourist city, 

Stockholm offers many possibilities for 

cultural as well as outdoor excursions. 

Situated where Lake Mälaren meets the 

Baltic Sea, Stockholm is built on several 

islands, and is often called the Venice of the 

North. The social program of EBLIP5 

includes a reception in the famous Blue Hall 

of the City Hall in Stockholm, where the 

Nobel Prize banquet is held every year in 

December. The conference dinner location – 

the restaurant Solliden – has one of the best 

views of the waters and islands of 

Stockholm. You will also have the chance, as 

part of the social program, to explore the 

world’s oldest open air museum, Skansen! 

 

The conference will take place in central 

Stockholm from June 29th to July 3rd. The 

registration form, along with further 

information about EBLIP5 and Stockholm, is 

available at http://eblip5.kib.ki.se. Early bird 

registration ends on April 26th, and 

registration closes on June 1st.
