Conference Information:
For conference information, please connect to: http://www.nlc.gov.cn/dloc/
The rapid advancement of IT and network technology made it possible for
people to produce, access, and disseminate information and knowledge
through the computer networks. Traditional publishers, information
intermediaries, and users of books, magazines, and other publications have
started to re-invent and re-position themselves in the broader and the
more ubiquitous Digital Library (DL) arena. In light of such an
overwhelming challenge and opportunity, the Chinese Ministry of Culture is
sponsoring an international conference from July 9 to 11, 2002 in Beijing,
China. Entitled "Digital Library IT Opportunities and Challenges in the
New Millennium, 2002," this event is being organized and coordinated by
the National Library of China and the Office of the China Digital Library
Project (CDLP). As an international conference, we wish to promote and
exchange research in advanced technologies, concepts, and practices for
the development of DL around the world.
The conference Organizing Committee Chair will be Mr. Sun Jiazheng,
Minister of Culture. Other Vice Chairs include Vice Ministers of
Culture, Education, Science and Technology, Foreign Trade and Economic
Cooperation, and so on. The local Professional Committee consists of
professors and librarians in major universities and libraries in China.
A (International) Technical Committee has also been formed to encourage
international participations, solicit paper submissions, and assist in
technical reviews. We also greatly appreciate your help to promote
participations from your regions.
Post-Conference Tour and Activities:
In the customary Chinese hospitality, the Conference will also arrange
several post-conference tours that feature great Chinese cultural
heritages and sceneries including: Dunhuang (West, to Silk Road),
Shanghai/Hangzhou (East, Heaven on Earth), NingXia (South of Mongolia),
etc. Your will find the Conference and related activities both
intellectually and culturally stimulating, especially for a combined
professional-family trip during summer.
