Tearing down the library walls

' book review

The sixth Libraries Without Walls conference took place in September 2005. This book records the proceedings of that conference.

The conference series began a decade ago when delivering library services to remote users was a new idea. With the concept of the networked library having become mainstream, the sixth conference focused on the evidence base for the continued relevance of the library without walls.
