the many meanings of the term "digital libraries," including (but not  
limited to) new forms of information institutions; operational  
information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of  
selecting, collecting, organizing, and distributing digital content;  
and theoretical models of information media, including document genres  
and electronic publishing.

Executive Education and Conference Center where the conference will be  
held (http://meetattexas.com). The conference planning committee has  
selected an interesting array of papers to be presented and arranged  
for keynote speakers and panel discussions to provide a lively  
exploration of the "state of the art" of digital library discourse and  
scholarly work.

Conference presenters represent 15 different countries and 19 states  
in the United States The Program Committee accepted 29 full papers and  
18 short papers. Covering a range of topics presenters will explore  
digital libraries along the theme of "Designing Tomorrow and  
Preserving the Past -- Today." Conference keynote speakers include  
Christine Borgman, Professor & Presidential Chair in Information  
Studies at UCLA and Gerhard Fischer, Director of the Center for  
Lifelong Learning and Design and a professor in the Department of  
Computer Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The ever  
popular poster session (over 50 posters) will be held on the evening  
of Tuesday, June 16th "in real life" at the AT&T Center, as well as in
