Subject: Digital Library Summer School Program
Seventh International Summer School on the Digital Library
In the summer and fall of 2002, the International Summer School
on the Digital Library will be held for the seventh year in a row. This
year, the Summer School will consist of four one-week courses:
two courses will be held at Tilburg University, the Netherlands, one
at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy and one at
the University of Leeds, United Kingdom. Every year, the Summer
School is updated to respond to the most recent developments.
Almost 350 librarians from 36 different countries have attended the
very successful Summer School so far. Last year, as much as 93
per cent indicated they would recommend the Summer School to
colleagues in the field.
Course 1: The Management of Change
(Tilburg, 28 July - 1 August and Leeds, 3 - 7 November)
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
director is 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

Course 2: Digital Libraries and the Changing World of Education
(Tilburg, 4 - 9 August)

igned 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, 29 September - 4 October)
Hans Geleijnse, Director of Information Service and Systems at the
European University Institute in Florence (previously librarian at

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
