Abstract

A “Digital Content and Issues for Libraries” workshop sponsored by ALA’s Office of Information Technology Policy (OITP) was held at the O’Hare Hilton in Chicago April 7–9, 2006. Thirty-three attendees represented several ALA divisions, OITP, the Special Library Association, NISO, the Association of Research Libraries, the Association of Moving Image Archivists, the Digital Library Federation, public broadcasters, foundations, and government libraries and funding agencies. The workshop was convened to help OITP form its policy agenda with regard to digitized library content.
