DL.org - New Insights on Interoperability Strategies, Open Access, Research, Education, Theory & Practice in the Digital Library Space Issue Winter 2010PDF Downloadable Version |
DL.org is delighted to announce the one-day Workshop on Digital Libraries & Open Access. Interoperability Strategies, 4 February 2011 at the British Academy in London. The Workshop gathers together international experts on Digital Libraries and Open Access Repositories (OARs) to explore issues key to taking the field to the next level. Registration for the Workshop is now open. However, places are limited due to venue capacity, so early registration is strongly advised. The Workshop is the third in a series of highly successful events that have taken place in Europe over the last few months.
In this issue we announce the London Workshop and sum up the main outcomes of the other events. In particular, the Parma Seminar offered opportunities to explore the key role of fostering closer synergies between research communities and educational programmes, which are further investigated in our interviews with Professor Anna Maria Tammaro from the University of Parma and Marical Reyes Batiancila a Master Student from the Philippines. We also sum up the main outcomes of the Athens Workshop and share the views of participants who kindly offered their position statements on the talks and demos presented at the event.
We wrap up with a “thank you” to all past and future participants helping to build a community as a key asset for DL.org. We would also like to renew our thanks to all the experts in Europe and globally who have contributed to the Digital Library discourse in general and in particular to outputs such as the DL.org Reference Model and the Technological and Methodological Cookbook, which are now being taken to the final stage. |

The Demo Session delivered insights into real-world challenges for researchers to draw on and offer practitioners an opportunity to understand how to adopt proposed modelling solutions. Discussions and networking opportunities ensured knowledge exchange with other members of the Greek DL community with the ultimate goal of bridging the divide between theory and practice.
