This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries held in Padua, Italy, in January 2010.
With the expansion of the World Wide Web during the last decade, libraries and their standards face an ever-complex environment, with new types, genres and forms of information resources. Changing information network structures and the emergence of new retrieval methods all play their roles.
