European Conference on Digital Libraries

The European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology on Digital Libraries (ECDL) started in 1997 in conjunction with the activities of the first DELOS Working Group. The Working Group, partially funded by the European Union, laid the foundations for the establishment of a European Research Community on Digital Libraries. ECDL has become a notable European forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues, meeting the needs of a large and diverse constituency, which includes practitioners, researchers, educators, policy makers and users.^{[citation needed]}
