 Organization and submission addresses  
Invitation  to institutions 
We are inviting libraries, information  agencies, professional organizations, publishers, and service providers to  consider participation at LIDA by providing a demonstration, workshop, or  exhibit about their products, services or advances, or by presenting a paper or  poster about their activities, as related to the two themes. Sponsorship of an  event is also invited. Institutions can benefit as well: we will provide course  materials to participants so that they can communicate and transfer topics of  interest to their institution. Thus, we are organizing LIDA to reach a wider  audience.
