Editorial

While inevitably our attention is now upon the final work for the upcoming and tenth ECDL in Alicante this September, I am pleased to be able to draw readers’ attention to some of the study, collaboration, debate and planning that is very evident from the items in this issue of the DELOS Newsletter. Not least, I feel compelled to draw to your attention once again the continuing usefulness of the work done at the DELOS Brainstorming meeting last December and to note with interest the degree to which those discussions in Nice have been reflected in those held at the workshop during ELAG 2006 this Spring, as you will see from the report on that event.

Once again we see a thriving Summer School on digital preservation plus a very successful school on Multimedia Digital Libraries where clearly the collaboration between DELOS and MUSCLE attracted unexpectedly large numbers of applicants and augurs very well for the future. I hope these and the other items will prove of interest.

If you have an item to contribute for the next issue, however small or large, do not hesitate to contact the editor at
