Ibero-American Digital Library Joint Project Development Symposium

美洲项目为美国-巴西数字图书馆联合项目发展研讨会提供支持。新墨西哥大学的Johann van Reenen和Ramiro Jordan以及坎皮纳斯州立大学（UNICAMP）的Mauro S. Miskulin博士。该讲习班将与巴西国际数字图书馆信息政策会议一起在圣保罗坎皮纳斯的UNICAMP举行，并反映了伊比利亚-美洲科学和技术教育联盟（ISTEC）、UNICAMP、FAPESP、BIRIME、UNESP和USP之间的合作。有两次会议将专门讨论发展联合研究项目。讲习班还将侧重于该区域各大学论文中未充分利用的知识产权。这个研讨会类似于已经举办多年的美欧数字图书馆研讨会。这些聚会使不同国家的研究人员有可能分享他们的数字图书馆工具，并了解彼此的工作。该研讨会为美国和拉丁美洲的数字图书馆研究人员提供了一个相互学习的机会，并与计算机科学家和其他学术和工业研究人员共同制定了倡议。会议记录将在至少两个互联网网站上公布，以便广泛传播。计算机科学家、工程师和图书馆员在本次研讨会上的互动所产生的协同效应很可能会导致拉丁美洲和美国研究人员之间的新颖和创造性的合作。

The Americas Program provides supports for this US-Brazil Digital Library Joint Project Development Symposium organized by Drs. Johann van Reenen and Ramiro Jordan of the University of New Mexico and Dr. Mauro S. Miskulin of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). The workshop will be held in conjunction with the Brazilian International Conference on Information Policies in Digital Libraries at UNICAMP, in Campinas, Sao Paulo and reflects a collaboration among the Ibero-American Science and Technology Education Consortium (ISTEC), UNICAMP, FAPESP, BIRIME, UNESP, and USP. Two sessions will be devoted to developing joint research projects. The workshop will also focus on underutilized intellectual property residing in theses and dissertations at the region's universities.This workshop is similar to US-Europe digital libraries workshops that have been held for many years. These gatherings make it possible for researchers in various countries to share their digital library tools and to learn about each other's work. This workshop creates an opportunity for US and Latin-American digital-library researchers to learn from each other and develop joint initiatives with computer scientists and other academic and industrial researchers. The proceedings will be available on at least two Internet web sites, resulting in broad dissemination. The synergy created by having computer scientists, engineers, and librarians interact in this workshop is likely to lead to novel and creative collaborations between Latin American and US researchers.
