Digital libraries and knowledge management are innovations, the implementat=

the promise of becoming key technologies for knowledge creation and =
management in the future. In February 2003, the Government of India =
launched the National Mission for Manuscripts, aimed at preserving the =
valuable manuscripts in India. The mission is designed to undertake =
elaborate surveys, run awareness programmes, and impart training in =
conservation/preservation techniques. ICDL 2004 would contribute to the =
objectives of the mission by assembling a galaxy of experts, researchers, =
and academics from across the world to exchange ideas on digital libraries,=
 and related technologies and issues.


Objectives
	.Bridge knowledge gaps between developing and developed countries
	.Initiate capacity building activities in digital libraries
	.Evolve  a road map for the digitization of archives, manuscripts, =
and libraries
