Winter in Australia - At the International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL)

By Biligsaikhan Batjargal

During the winter time, on June 21 - 25 of 2010, I participated and made a presentation at the ICADL2010. For the first time in this year, the ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) and the annual International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL) held together at the Gold Coast in Australia. It was good opportunity for me to attend the two famous and leading international conferences in digital libraries research.  

I presented about my project “Traditional Mongolian Script Digital Library” at the session "Digital Libraries of Heritage Materials” chaired by Professor Gobinda Chowdhury.

Furthermore, I participated in the workshop “Digital Libraries for International Development”. I asked to make a presentation about digital library development of Mongolia in the session “Country Focus”.

Fruitful discussions were held to explore innovative designs and applications of digital libraries to improve education, health, and financial conditions of people.

I like Gold Goast`s winter, which I feel like a summer in my country. An average temperature of the Australian winter is around 16 degrees in Celsius, is quite warmer than my homeland Mongolia (what about -40 degrees?).

Time to say goodbye Gold Coast!

Wet and hot Japanese summer is waiting me.
