The general aim of the annual conference and course Libraries in the
Digital Age (LIDA), started in 2000, is to address the changing and
challenging environment for libraries and information systems and services
in the digital world, with an emphasis on examining contemporary problems,
advances and solutions. Each year a different and 'hot' theme is addressed,
divided in two parts; the first part covers research and development and
the second part addresses advances in applications and practice. LIDA seeks
to bring together researchers, practitioners, and developers in a forum for
personal exchanges, discussions, and learning, made easier by holding in
memorable locations.
Themes LIDA 2003
I. WORLD WIDE WEB AND INFORMATION RETRIEVAL (IR)
Web is huge, highly diverse, for the most part poorly organized, hard to
search, and more often than not overwhelming for a great majority of users.
For these reasons, effective search and retrieval techniques are critical
for use of the Web. Information retrieval (IR) has become a important, even
integral, component of the Web. But the problems encountered are also an
ongoing challenge for research, development and applications.
The first part of LIDA 2003 is devoted to research, and demonstrations
related to retrieval of information from the Web. Invited are contributions
(types described below) covering the following and related topics:
advances in IR techniques specific to the Web and to a variety of objects
- texts, images, audio, multimedia
organization and representation of Web information for retrieval
study of search engines - algorithms, evaluation, performance, comparisons
approaches to related processes, such browsing and navigation on the Web
searching the Web - users, uses, queries, patterns, effectiveness
information seeking and the Web
research methodologies, metrics, models
critical overview of the research and advances in these areas
II. WORLD WIDE WEB AND LIBRARIES
Great many libraries worldwide have entered the Web and even greater number
is using the Web. Yet, libraries are building on their values, strengths,
tradition, and trust to engage with the Web and enter into a new
environment for themselves and their users. Among others, digital libraries
are making available their collections and services in unique ways through
the Web. The Web is providing libraries and librarians with opportunities
to foster a significant library evolution in new directions, if not even a
revolution. But challenges are significant as well.
The second part of LIDA 2003 is devoted to studies, advances and
demonstrations related to library applications on the Web. Invited are
contributions (types described below) covering the following and related
topics:
digital library collections - making, managing, digitizing, licensing,
linking
dealing with various media (texts, images, multimedia) and specialized
domains
providing digital library services - access, reference, delivery,
guidance, and other
evaluating performance, impact, value; study of users and use
Webmetrics related to libraries, methodologies, models
library Web interfaces - principles, how to build?
Web software and packages for libraries; middleware, searchware
education and training of librarians and users
how can small libraries enter and use the Web?
