Dear list subscribers,

We would like to draw your attention to the successful International
Summer School on the Digital Library, which will be held for the seventh
year in a row in Europe this Summer and Fall. Especially the course on
Electronic Publishing will be relevant for those interested in licensing,
as quite some attention is paid to copyright, consortia and licensing
issues.

Last year's Summer School courses were extensively discussed in a D-Lib
article (http://www.dlib.org/dlib/november01/prinsen/11prinsen.html).

The following courses will be organised:

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 management, managing the
process of change, organisational change, managing resistance,
communication, human resource aspects of change, human resource
management, and improvement programmes.

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

A completely new course on the role of (digital) libraries in education.
Course directors are Hans Roes, Deputy Librarian at Tilburg University
library in the Netherlands, and Graham Bulpitt, Director Learning Centre
and Sheffield Hallam University in the UK.  The course is designed 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 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 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 archiving, and reference
linking.
