 A Voyage of DiscoveryThe papers collected in this volume have been selected from the
proceedings of the Sixth World Conference on Continuing Professional
Development and Workplace Learning for the Library and Information
Professions, held in Oslo in August 2005.

Since the first one in the series was held in Chicago in 1985, this
Conference has become established as the leading international meeting
dedicated to the practice and theory of continuing professional
development for library and information professionals.

It is testimony to the importance of the conference that the call for
papers for this sixth edition attracted in excess of eighty submissions
from all over the globe! Nearly thirty of these have been brought
together in the current volume.

This collection presents a comprehensive overview of current
continuing professional development theory and practice for those who
manage and work in library and information services. Papers by academics
and practitioners describe numerous innovative reponses to emerging
continuing education and training needs, including workplace learning,
individual learning and learning organisations.
