[These proceedings were captured from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine; as such, outgoing links may retain the original structure captured by the Internet Archive. E-mail addresses may no longer be active. In addition, certain files are missing; specifically, Hert's discussion document.] The purpose of Allerton '96 is to bring together people from various disciplines who have been involved in research and practice related to how people use digital libraries (DLs). Our intent is provide an informal and convivial environment that will help nurture this emerging community. A particular focus is understanding the contributions and implications of applying different theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches from the social sciences to DL research. Emphasis throughout will be on relating research approaches to important research questions and findings, and on the role of, and interactions among, people involved in creating and using DLs. Allerton '96 builds upon a similar event that was held last fall. (From Allerton '96 Goals).Sponsored by the National Science Foundationunpublishednot peer reviewe
