OPEN ACCESS TO DIGITAL LIBRARIES at the D-Lib Competence Center
ISTI-CNR, via G. Moruzzi 1, 56124 Pisa, Italy
http://dlibcenter.iei.pi.cnr.it
The aim of the course is twofold:
* to illustrate the possibilities provided by "new generation" digital
libraries, in terms of new types
of content and new functionality
* to teach how to create and maintain a (new generation) digital
library.
The Scholnet digital library service system
(http://www.ercim.org/scholnet), developed within a project
funded by the IST Programme of the European Commission, will be used as
a testbed to demonstrate
the concepts introduced during the course. Scholnet is an open digital
library system that can be
customised to meet the specific needs of diverse user communities. In
its basic version, Scholnet
provides services to support:
* acquisition, description, archiving, search, access, and dissemination
of multimedia, multilingual,
structured digital documents
* virtual organization of the information space
* handling of annotations on documents
* multilingual access
* personalised information dissemination
These features render it capable of supporting new forms of remote
scholarly communication. In
particular, they enable the dissemination of not only conference papers,
technical reports, project
deliverables, but also annotated seminars, lectures, demos, etc.
The structure of the course is the following:
* Tutorial (part 1) - Methodology for building a digital library
* Introduction to Scholnet and demo
* Training on how to use a Scholnet digital library
* Tutorial (part 2)- Methodology for digital library set-up and
maintenance
* Case studies
System documentation will be available.
Teaching Staff:
Donatella Castelli (castelli@iei.pi.cnr.it)

The D-Lib Laboratory is available for use during the course.
Courses will be held on February 19-20, 2003 and repeated in May 2003.
