9th International Bielefeld Conference 2009
http://conference.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/
3 - 5 February 2009 in Bielefeld, Germany

*** Upgrading the eLibrary
Enhanced Information Services Driven by Technology and Economics

Three decades of databases, two decades of electronic articles
and one decade of open access have resulted in an avalanche of
digital scholarly information services. At the moment we observe
a metamorphosis from the electronic library to an enhanced
library meeting also the emerging demands of eScience and
eLearning. Progress in technology, new concepts of knowledge
networking, but also economic issues are the driving forces for
upgrading the eLibrary, all of them opening up both a world of
new opportunities and of new constraints for progressing enhanced
scholarly information services.

The International Bielefeld Conference 2009 provides insights in
the future of eLibraries, based on the threefold interdependency
of service, technology, and economics. The Bielefeld Conferences
provide a forum for internationally renowned and trendsetting
speakers to stimulate strategic discussions among scholars,
information specialists, publishers, library managers and patrons
from all over Europe and beyond.
