INTRODUCTION
The NSF/ CONACyT /ISTEC Workshop on Digital Libraries was held in
Alburquerque, N.M. from July 7-9, 1999. The purpose of the workshop was
to
bring together United States and Mexican Digital Library Researchers to
exchange ideas, and particularly to foster joint grant writing
activities. The format of the workshop was chosen to allow opportunities
to hear from the best of the current projects under development at US DL
programs as well as to highlight a representative sample of current DL
project underway in México. The morning sessions were devoted to the
leading edge US (and one European) presentations. The afternoon sessions
were devoted to short Mexican project descriptions which augmented Posters
provided throughout the meeting, as well as to group brainstorming
sessions. The workshop closed with a reporting session from groups formed
around major project areas.
