This set of proceedings brings together a selection of papers that were presented at the second WASLI conference, held in Segovia, Spain in July 2007. Readers who were not in attendance at the conference will see evidence of the depth and breadth of presentations and those who did attend have a suitable reminder of the quality of the presentations.
