Workshop Info and CFP: Second International Workshop on Open Source Information Retrieval
“The goal of the Open Source Information Retrieval Workshop (OSIR) is to bring together practitioners developing open source search technologies in the context of a premier IR research conference to share their recent advances, and to coordinate their strategy and research plans. The intent is to foster community-based development, to promote distribution of transparent Web search tools, and to strengthen the interaction with the research community in IR.”

Developing a Digitisation Framework for your organisation
This paper describes how a Digitisation Framework was set up at the University of Auckland Library from 2001 – 2004. The elements of the framework are discussed, how it was developed and implemented and what was learnt from this. The purpose of the paper is to help organisations of any size and type to set up their own digitisation framework in the near future.
