Abstract

In the 14 years since its first edition back in 1997 the European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL) has become the reference meeting for an interdisciplinary community of researchers and practitioners whose activity centers around digital libraries. ECDL 2010, the 14th conference in this series, was held in Glasgow, UK, on September 6–10, 2010, following the editions in Pisa (1997), Heraklion (1998), Paris (1999), Lisbon (2000), Darmstadt (2001), Rome (2002), Trondheim (2003), Bath (2004), Vienna (2005), Alicante (2006), Budapest (2007), Aarhus (2008), and Corfu (2009). Aside from being the 14th edition of ECDL, the 2010 edition was also the last. At least with this name, since, starting with 2011, ECDL has been renamed (so as to avoid acronym conflicts with the European Computer Driving License) to TPDL, standing for the Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries. As we write this editorial, we are looking forward for a successful “first” edition of TPDL, which is going to take place in Berlin in late September 2011. This focussed issue brings together extended versions of six among the best papers of ECDL 2010. The authors of the 12 papers which had been considered the best by the ECDL
