March 18, 2008, Lewisburg, PA -- Bucknell University's Library & Technology Division is pleased to issue this Call for Proposals for the first Mid-Atlantic Digital Library Conference.

the field, while others will be more technical in nature.

- Digital images
- Digital library systems and architecture

We encourage proposals targeted at all levels of experience (introductory, intermediate, and advanced) and a wide range of audiences (academic librarians, public librarians, special/corporate librarians, archivists, museum curators, digital library technologists, library administrators, library/information science graduate students).
The program committee hopes to have several tracks to accommodate a wide range of topics, experience levels, and audiences.
