ACM Digital Libraries is an international conference which is building
a community of individuals from diverse fields to study research and
development in digital libraries. The collection, access and use of
electronic information in a variety of formats requires solutions to
problems ranging from the technical to the social, incorporating
knowledge and experience from many fields. Individuals with an
interest in library and information science, digital information
technology, education, information policy and economics, information
behavior and other fields contributing to digital library development
are invited to participate. ACM DL '97 will immediately precede
ACM SIGIR '97 in Philadelphia. The ACM DL series is sponsored by ACM,
