Digital Libraries 2000
Fifth ACM conferences on Digital Libraries
June 2-7, 2000
San Antonio, Texas
http://www.dl00.org/
ACM Digital Libraries is the major international forum on digital
libraries, with a comprehensive program for the presentation of new
results from the diverse fields that study and develop digital
libraries. The conference draws from a community with a wide range
of interests, encompassing aspects of system design, implementation
experience, evaluation, collection design, intellectual property
issues, social issues, governmental policy issues, economic issues,
user communities, and theoretical considerations.
The conference attracts a broad range of professionals including
theoreticians, collection developers, publishers, researchers,
educators, policy makers, practitioners, developers, and designers of
systems, interfaces, and related applications.
The Digital Library conference will follow the ACM Hypertext conference,
starting from May 30th to June 3rd, and continuing with Digital
Libraries from June 2nd to June 7th. Both conferences are held in the
attractive Menger Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. The conference URLs
where you can find details of the entire programmes can be found at
http://www.dl00.org/ and http://www.ht00.org/ .
DL2000 put together an attractive program including world-wide known
keynote speakers, research paper presentations, workshops and tutorials,
as well as social events that will be good opportunities for meeting
with the main leaders and actors in the field.
