Digital Libraries is the area of research and development dealing with theory and practice of processing, dissemination, storage, search and analysis of digital data. The other view of Digital Libraries is that they are complex information systems providing for solving various scientific, technological, methodological, economical, legal and other issues.

Main objective of this series of Conferences is to promote forming of professional community in Russia making research and development in the area of Digital Libraries. For such community the conferences provide a good opportunity for discussion of new ideas and results, for establishing contacts for more tight collaboration. The conferences provide also for extending international cooperation in the field.

The next Netd@ys Europe Week is planned by the European Commission for November 2000. This will be the fourth year of Netd@ys events.
The Week will involve an extensive campaign to promote the value and potential afforded to education and culture by new media, particularly the Internet, and to enable European citizens to acquire the skills and tools necessary for full and active participation in the Information Society.
The EC Directorate General Education and Culture is planning to issue in March 2000 a call for tenders for a communication strategy to promote the event and to provide an in-depth evaluation of the campaign. The tender will also seek coordination of activities carried out in conjunction with Netd@ys Europe and organisation of the launch of the event.
A second part of the call will request tenders to create and manage a Netd@ys Europe 2000 Internet site.
