Digital Libraries for the Digital Librarian Making the Journey from Traditional to Digital Libraries
The venue for the school is Villa Morghen (http://www.villamorghen.com/), a combination of villa and monastery, whose history goes back to the 15th century. Villa Morghen is set in Settignano, on the hills overlooking Florence, 5Km from the city center. Those who select accommodation onsite will find that the accommodation is pleasant and the food rich in local flavour.

Booking for accomodation can be done by printing and filling-in the accommodation form, and sending it via fax to the school secretariat (Francesca Borri, fax +39 050 315 3464). The accomodation form can be downloaded here. We regret that for those choosing not to stay at Villa Morghen the school organization can offer only very limited assistance for hotel reservation.
On the web site of Villa Morghen there are detailed instructions on how to get there. On Sunday May 27th and on Saturday June 2nd the school can organize transportation from/to Florence airport and Villa Morghen, and from/to the central railway station (Santa Maria Novella) and Villa Morghen. Please let the school secretariat know you travel plans and we will try to accomodate your requests. For additional information send an email to the school secretariat (
