     Title: Workshop: Research & Education in Digital Libraries

DL.org is delighted to announce the Workshop on Research & Education in Digital Libraries during the conference of the European Library Automation Group (ELAG 2011), 25-29 May 2011, Prague, Czech Republic. The Workshop builds on the important synergies and outputs of the Seminar under the same theme held in November 2010, hosted by Parma University. Talks and discussions will revolve around interoperabilty looking at the technical, organisational and policy challenges that need to be addressed.

Discussions will focus not just on the content that should be included in Library and Information Science programmes, but will also explore the many implications, both conceptual and practical, that arise when working in the “information field”, very broadly defined.

Workshop Goals

Trigger a discussion aimed at understanding which aspects of research in Digital Libraries impact most on education in Digital Libraries.
Energise thinking on how results of research in Digital Libraries can be timely transferred to education in Digital Libraries, e.g. how to implement a European scale mechanism for exchanging, sharing and integrating research results into education.
Outline the content of a report to be distributed to the research and education communities interested in Digital Libraries, for furthering the discussion of those topics.

Speakers
Vittore Casarosa, Institute of Information Science & Technologies, National Research Council of Italy.
Donatella Castelli, Institute of Information Science & Technologies, National Research Council of Italy.
Anna Maria Tammaro, professor at Parma University.
