Information Access technologies provide the interface between human information needs and digital information resources. The reliable evaluation of these technologies has been recognized for decades as central to the advancement of the field. As information retrieval becomes more pervasive, the forms of retrieval more diverse, and retrieval tools richer, the importance of effective, efficient, and innovative evaluation grows as well.
In recognition of the need for a forum dedicated to the intensive discussion of evaluation issues, we have held five successful sesquiannual International Workshops on Evaluating Information Access (EVIA2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2013). Proceedings and reports can be found below:

Following these successes, we are happy to announce the Sixth International Workshop on Evaluating Information Access (EVIA2014) on December 9, 2014 (coinciding with Day 1 of the NTCIR-11 Workshop Meeting) at the National Institute of Informatics (NII),Tokyo, Japan. We invite papers addressing one or more of the following topics:
- Test collection formation, evaluation metrics, and evaluation environments
