Workshop on the Future of Digital Libraries

This workshop will examine the future landscape of digital library research and practice. While conventional facilities of digital libraries, for example indexation, search and browsing of collections of static texts are well understood, there is growing demand for a richer range of content including dynamic data streams, linking of heterogeneous content and automated analysis. We aim to uncover the common agenda for the features of future digital libraries, and the corresponding challenges for research and practice. Contributions from both theory and practice, and from technologists, information scientists and researchers in human information behaviour will all contribute to this workshop.
