The venue
The conference venue is the British Library’s state of the art Conference Centre. Located in central London, the British Library Conference Centre is within easy walking distance of three mainline railway stations – St Pancras (Eurostar terminal), Euston and King’s Cross – and six tube lines, and is thus at the heart of the UK and European transportation network.
Programme committee
The conference programme has been developed by the DREaM project Principal and Co-investigators Professor Hazel Hall and Professor Charles Oppenheim. They are supported by members of the DREaM project advisory board: Dr Susie Andretta (London Metropolitan University), Dr Rossitza Atanassova British Library), Dr Michael Jubb (Research Information Network CIC), Stephanie Kenna (LIS Research Coalition) and Professor Gunilla Widén (Åbo Akademi School of Business and Economics, Finland). Christine Irving, Secretary to the Library and Information Research Group of CILIP, also provides assistance to the DREaM project.
Conference Secretariat
Edinburgh Napier University, which holds the AHRC grant for the DREaM project, provides the secretariat for the DREaM project events.
