Good evening,

TPDL 2011 (International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital
Libraries - September 26-28 Berlin) is planning to host a small number of
highly focused panel discussions. Panels should be lively, controversial,
and provoke discussion on a specific topic of interest to the community.
Panel sessions should not consist of paper presentations, but should have
plenty of discussion engaging the audience. A two-page abstract of the
tutorial will be included in the proceedings. The proceedings will be
published as a volume of Springer's Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS)
series <http://www.springer.com/lncs <http://www.springer.com/lncs> > .
