International Conference on Digital Libraries: Knowledge creation, preservation, access and management

*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We would appreciate disseminating this mail to your colleagues.
*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Digital libraries and knowledge management are innovations, the implementation of which is still nascent in developing countries. However, they hold 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
	.Provide a forum for facilitating interaction amongst participants 
	.Formulate  recommendations on digitization technologies, Acts, and policies


Who should participate?
	.Policy-makers
	.Library and information science professionals
	.IT professionals
	.Archivists and museologists
	.Content developers and knowledge managers
	.IT service providers
