Dear Colleague,
I am writing on behalf of the Conference Organizing Committee to invite you to participate in Sofia 2006: Globalization, Digitization, Access and Preservation of Cultural Heritage 8-10 November, 2006, Hotel Rodina, Sofia, Bulgaria. Sofia 2006 is part of an international conference series hosted by the School of Library and Information Management, Emporia State University, Kansas and the Department of Library and Information Sciences, University of Sofia.
Sofia 2006 is part of an international conference series hosted in Kansas City, Kansas (1995), Warsaw, Poland (1997), Sofia, Bulgaria (2000, 2002, & 2004). The series is designed to explore the impact of globalization and change on the development of libraries, information infrastructure, and society.
Sofia 2006 will convene a wide range of experts in library and information science, infrastructure, technology, international cooperation and policy.
Two optional tours are being arranged by Balkan Connections -- one is a multi-day tour of archeological and cultural sites in western Bulgaria with the opportunity to visit libraries; the other is a day tour of Sofia. Both tours will take place prior to the conference.
We do hope that you will be able to join us in Sofia, Bulgaria 8-10 November, 2006.
Yours Sincerely,
Prof. Herbert Achleitner
