The conference focuses on that exact point of elevation that takes quality, relevance and knowledge to a higher level. Where engaging in strategic networking and user based innovation make an important difference.

Outlining experience from a large variety of network based elevations within libraries, international key note speakers present examples of best practice in both the physical and digital libraries.

In an international perspective the 17^th Halmstad conference formulates a strong statement about the necessity for libraries to include and engage in untraditional partnerships – and offers conference participants an inspiring platform to create new ones.
