We are proud to present the proceedings of the 11th European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL 2007) which, following Pisa (1997), Heraklion (1998), Paris (1999), Lisbon (2000), Da- stadt (2001), Rome (2002), Trondheim (2003), Bath (2004), Vienna (2005) and Alicante (2006), took place on September 16-21, 2007 in Budapest, Hungary. Over the last 11 years, ECDL has created a strong interdisciplinary com- nity of researchers and practitioners in the ?eld of digital libraries, and has formed a substantial body of scholarly publications contained in the conference proceedings. ECDL 2007 featured separate calls for paper and poster submissions, - sulting in 119 full papers and 34 posters being submitted to the conference. All papers were subject to an in-depth peer-review process; three reviews per submission were produced by a Program Committee of 69 members from 27 countries. In total 36 of 119 full paper submissions were accepted at the P- gram Committee meeting for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings with Springer, resulting in an acceptance rate of 30%. Also, 24 poster/demo submissions and another 15 papers from the full paper submissions wereacceptedforposterpresentationandpublicationintheproceedingsvolume.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries, TPDL 2011 - formerly known as ECDL (European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries) - held in Berlin, Germany, in September 2011. The 27 full papers, 13 short papers, 9 posters and 9 demos presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 162 initial submissions. In addition the book contains the abstract of 2 keynote speeches and an appendix stating information on the doctoral consortium, as well as the panel, which were held at the conference. The papers are grouped in topical sections on networked information, semantics and interoperability, systems and architectures, text and multimedia retrieval, collaborative information spaces, DL applications and legal aspects, user interaction and information visualization, user studies, archives and repositories, europeana, and preservation.
