The 4th Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Libraries International Conference (QQML2012) was scheduled during the previous 3rd QQML2011 Conference.

Since 2009 QQML has provided an excellent framework for the presentation of new trends and developments in every aspect of Library and Information Science, Technology, Applications and Research.

The QQML2009, QQML2010 and QQML2011 were successful events both from the number and quality of the presentations and from the post conference publications in Journals and Books. QQML2012 will continue and expand the related topics.
