Reading About Digital Libraries: Bibliographic Resources: Conferences (Selected)

Scope: Due to  the increasing number of conferences in the 21st century with a digital library theme or content, this page, except for the Conference Guides,  is not being fully updated as of May 1, 2002. If you are interested in upcoming conferences, consult D-LIB Magazine, subscribe to the DIGLIB (Digital Libraries Research) mailing list, or use the Conference Guides section below. Insofar as I am able to expeditiously process them, requests for announcements of individual conferences will be honored. Date updated: 2004-08-08.
