A challenging future awaits libraries able to change : highlights of the International Summer School on the Digital Library

Abstract

The future for academic and research libraries can be an exciting and challenging one, at least for those libraries that are both able and open to change. This article presents highlights from the sixth International Summer School on the Digital Library <http://www.ticer.nl/summer01> held in 2001. Two of the three courses that comprised this year's summer school focused on roles for libraries in education and electronic publishing. The other course focused on managing the actual change process towards a new kind of library.
