Autumn School

Digital Libraries and Digital Repositories: Modelling, Best Practices & Interoperability, 3-8 October 2010, Athens, Greece

Education & Training: DL.org Autumn School

The Event

The DL.org Autumn School is a premier education and training event in the Digital Library and Repository space running from 3 to 8 October 2010 at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications,  University of Athens (NKUA).

Target Audience

Our Autumn School is designed for librarians and librarian decision-makers, information scientists, computer scientists, PhD students, early career researchers and young professionals working in the Digital Library  (DL) and Digital Repository (DR) arena.  Five DL.org Bursaries are available to PhD students, post-doctoral researchers and young professionals. The Autumn School focuses on modelling issues, practical solutions and best practices on interoperability. Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of digital libraries and digital repositories along the perspectives of content, functionality,  users, policy, quality and architecture, the six core domains captured in the Digital Library Manifesto, which stems from the DELOS Reference Model. The Autumn School also delivers valuable insights into how to address interoperability challenges.

The DL.org Autumn School offers participants an important opportunity to network and socialise with other researchers, international experts, and practitioners across disciplinary and national boundaries. Internationally established lecturers lead each of the half-day sessions and most of them will be on-site throughout the week for further discussion.

Location

The Autumn School is hosted by the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications, University of Athens and opens with a Welcome Reception on the evening of Sunday 3 October 2010 at the Golden Age Hotel.
