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.
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.
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.
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 Summer School will be organised by Ticer B.V. (Tilburg Innovation Centre for Electronic Resources) in co-operation with Tilburg University and the European University Institute.
