The purpose of the symposium is to explore the social and administrative context of digital library development in the Research Triangle, including how materials are or might be deposited, collected and managed, and used in teaching and learning. The symposium is targeting a broad audience from each TRLN campus, including administrators and faculty, as well as technologists who are working on digital library projects. The session topics should also attract the interest of library staff, library school faculty and students, and instructional/learning technology staff. Symposium outcomes include a broader understanding of activities on TRLN campuses and opportunities for collaboration.
