Sixth International Summer School on the Digital Library
In the summer and fall of 2001, the International
Summer School on the Digital Library will be held for
the sixth year in a row. This year, the Summer School
will consist of three one-week courses: two courses
will be held at Tilburg University, the Netherlands,
and one at the European University Institute in
Florence, Italy. Every year, the Summer School is
updated to respond to the most recent developments.
This year, a new course was developed on a very topical
subject: the role of libraries in education.
Almost 250 librarians from 27 different countries have
attended the very successful Summer School so far. Last
year, as much as 98 per cent indicated they would
recommend the Summer School to colleagues in the field.
Course 1: The Management of Change
(Tilburg, 30 July - 3 August)
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
directors are Lynne J. Brindley, Chief Executive of the
British Library, and 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, 5 - 10 August)
A completely new course on the role of (digital)
libraries in education. Course director is Hans Roes,
Deputy Librarian at Tilburg University library. 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, 7 - 12 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.
