Abstract

On the 2nd and 3rd of March the University of Graz together with the Austrian software and research company AIT Forschungsgesellschaft mbH and the Content Service Center Graz organised the7th edition of the conference "Digital Library. The Future of our Digital Heritage? Sustainable Solutions for Memory Institutions and Scientific Institutions". Years ago the central aim was to digitise as many analogue materials as possible. Nowadays documents, images, film- and audio recordings as well as research data or 3D-models are born digital. Together these various materials form our digital cultural heritage, which has to be captured. archived and made available as open as possible. In the course of the conference, access to information in our digital world was discussed as well as the role and challenges for cultural heritage institutions and knowledge organisations in this respect.
