in the wider field of computer science and information sciences.
The main goal of such a cooperative efforts is ensuring an effective
and efficient flow of information from the generators & providers
of information to users in the digital environment, by using all

it is no longer possible for information specialists to act without
being continuously abreast of new methods and techniques and without
exchanging own visions and ideas with colleagues in other fields
and disciplines interested in this topic. Thus, intention is to
address the changing and challenging environment for libraries
and information systems and services in the digital age, with
an emphasis on examining contemporary problems, advances and solutions.

as well. The themes and problems to be approached vary from concepts,
methods, techniques, and research advances related to a variety
of aspects of Digital Libraries, to the selection, organization,
preservation and representation of digital resources, information
networks and networked co-operation, as well as to services offered,
access problems, questions related to the users and use of the
Internet and the role of information professionals.
