Libraries in the Digital Age.

The article offers information on the ninth Libraries in the Digital Age (LIDA) conference held in Dubrovnik, Croatia in 2008. "Reference in Digital Environments" and "Education and Training in/for Digital Libraries" were this year's tracks. For the first three days, participants of the conference met at the Inter-University Center, and the last two days at the Hotel Odisej. Tefko Saracevic of Rutgers University and Tatjana Aparac-Jelusic of University of Zadar opened the conference by reviewing the short history of LIDA and the longer history of its topics. Kathleen Kern, Helle Lauridsen, and Caleb Tucker-Raymond all stressed the role of the user in determining digital library services.
