Dear Colleagues, 
  
ICDL is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and 
related issues. It aims to consolidate and expand concerted efforts to 
bridge the digital divide. ICDL2006 proposes to focus on Information 
Management for Global Access through the creation, adoption, 
implementation and utilization of DLs. It also intends to offer a common 
platform to put forth innovative ideas, discuss classical knowledge 
management and DL concepts in an open forum, and promote closer 
cooperation between experts and end- 
users. About 40 renowned and experienced speakers from India and abroad 
will be sharing their experiences. For detail information about the
