This year, the Summer School will consist of four one-week courses: two courses will be held at Tilburg University, the Netherlands, one at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy and one at the University of Leeds, United Kingdom. Every year, the Summer School is updated to respond to the most recent developments. Almost 350 librarians from 36 different countries have attended the very successful Summer School so far. Last year, as much as 93 per cent indicated they would recommend the Summer School to colleagues in the field. Course 1: The Management of Change (Tilburg, 28 July - 1 August and Leeds, 3 - 7 November) The course aims to identify new opportunities for libraries, to support librarians in developing a vision, and to provide librarians with tools to initiate a change in their own organisation. Course director is Jan Wilkinson, University Librarian and Keeper of the Brotherton Collection at Leeds University Library. The programme is designed for library managers/directors, deputy librarians/directors, and other senior managers involved in strategic change in academic and research libraries. The following subjects will be dealt with: the changing outside world, library vision, new ways of supporting research and learning, strategic planning, models and frameworks for change management, managing the process of change, organisational change, managing resistance, communication, human resource aspects of change, human resource management, and improvement programmes. Course 2: Digital Libraries and the Changing World of Education (Tilburg, 4 - 9 August) A completely new course on the role of (digital) libraries in education. Course directors are Hans Roes, Deputy Librarian at Tilburg University library in the Netherlands, and Graham Bulpitt, Director Learning Centre and Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. The course is designed for librarians, reference librarians, library managers, instruction librarians, designers of learning environments, and teaching staff. The course addresses the possible roles of and opportunities for libraries in education and focuses on practical experiences and case studies of libraries. Attention will be paid to the digital library as a natural complement of digital learning environments, information literacy as a critical skill for lifelong learning, the relation between physical and virtual learning environments, and opportunities for library staff in co-designing digital learning environments. Course 3: Electronic Publishing: Libraries as Buyers, Facilitators, or Producers (Florence, 29 September - 4 October) Hans Geleijnse, Director of Information Service and Systems at the European University Institute in Florence (previously librarian at Tilburg University), is the director of this course which aims to support university and research libraries in the current transitional phase and to identify new roles and opportunities for them. The course is designed for library managers/directors, IT or systems librarians, licensing officers, and digital library project managers from academic and research libraries. The course is highly relevant for publishers. The following themes will be dealt with: changes in the information chain, new roles for publishers, the library as an information gateway and publisher, the economics of journal publishing, copyright, licensing and library consortia, the art of negotiation, electronic pre-prints and document servers, preservation and digital archiving, and reference linking.
