  LIBRARIES IN THE DIGITAL AGE (LIDA) 2008
  Dubrovnik and Mljet, Croatia
  2-7 June 2008
  The annual international conference and course Libraries in the Digital Age (LIDA) addresses the changing and challenging environment for libraries and information systems and services in the digital world. Since its inception in 2000, LIDA has emphasized the examination of contemporary problems, intriguing advances, innovative approaches and solutions. Each year a different theme is addressed, divided in two parts; the first part covers research and development and the second part addresses advances in applications and practice. LIDA brings together researchers, educators, practitioners, and developers from all over the world in a
  forum for personal exchanges, discussions, and learning, made easier by being held in memorable locations.
