Marketing library and information services:

• Changing marketing concepts
• Marketing library and information services (MLIS) in different countries and kinds of libraries
• Education, training and research

Information literacy meets e-learning:

• Has E-learning enabled libraries to extend their reach to new populations, or provided their existing population with new services and fresh possibilities for learning?
• While online tutorials are mainly used in the academic environment for large populations of students, what strategies have been introduced in public libraries to encourage lifelong E-learning?
• Are there any advantages in teaching information literacy skills using a virtual learning environment (VLE) or course management systems (such as Moodle, Blackboard, WebCT) in a blended learning context?
