Libraries in the Digital Age (LIDA) is an annual course and conference
started in 2000 and held at the Inter-University Center in Dubrovnik,
Croatia. The general aim is to address the changing and challenging
environment for libraries and information systems and services in the
digital age, with an emphasis on examining contemporary problems, advances
and solutions. Each year a different and 'hot' theme is addressed in two
parts - one more theoretical and the other more practical.
In addition to invited speakers, papers, tutorials, and workshops for both
themes are invited. Deadline: 15 January 2001

GENERAL INFORMATION
Rationale
Libraries and information systems everywhere are increasingly and greatly
affected in all of their functions by the rapid evolution of the digital
age. While the growing Global Information Infrastructure (GII), and the
Internet in particular, greatly enhances access to a variety of information
resources, it also provides for many new and complex challenges and
problems for libraries and information systems, as well as for their
creators and users. For librarians and information professionals the
digital age also brings a need for a constant update of their professional
knowledge and competencies.
Orientation
The course is oriented toward professionals and researchers in
librarianship, information science, and informatics, as well as from other
disciplines interested in this topic. In particular, the course will be
useful for practicing librarians and information scientists, for students
of library and information science, and for system administrators, system
operators, web page managers, and related personnel in library and
information systems.
Program
The course will bring together well-known experts from around the world for
lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and workshops. The details of the
program and information about lecturers can be found on the conference web
page: http://www.ffzg.hr/infoz/lida
Interaction
The course is intended to be highly interactive. The participants are
encouraged to bring their own problems, situations, and solution to involve
in discussions.
