The EMTACL10 conference will be hosted by the Library of the Norwegian University Of Science And Technology (NTNU) "This is a new international conference for academic librarians, information professionals, academic staff, students, library system developers and suppliers, among others. The conference aims to provide answers to the following questions: What can academic libraries do to address change? How can we adapt? Which technologies can/should/must we use/create?"
