CILIP’s Update Magazine has published a report on ECDL 2009 on the recent (November 2009) issue. The report, conducted by Charlie Inskip (City University London), is thorough and highlights some of the most critical aspects of the scientific programme of the conference.
An excerpt from the conclusions of the article:
“The message of ECDL was clear. We need to encourage an interdisciplinary approach to digital libraries, looking to the past and the future. Practitioners, technicians, researchers and educators need to communicate on each other’s terms if digital libraries are to develop at the pace that is required by society.”
The front cover and the table of contents is available digitall, while the members of CILIP can have access to the full text. In the same issue a report on the work of the WEMIS workshop in the Soundbytes column, which discusses the latest developments in music information retrieval.
