ODOK is...

...the joint conference of the VÖB (Vereinigung österreichischer Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare, Association of Austrian Librarians) and the ÖGDI (Österreichische Gesellschaft für Dokumentation und Information, Austrian Society for Documentation and Information). It takes place every two years and focuses on financing, on documentation and administration of electronic media, as well as on relevant developments in the information and knowledge society. The topics range from open access, (mass‑)digitization and digital copyright to information literacy, access to (scientific) information for the general public and research evaluation.

A steadily growing exhibition of information providers gives an overview of current offers and provides a platform for negotiations with single institutions and on a consortial level.

The ODOK addresses information and documentation professionals in libraries, archives, museums, documentation centers, as well as in industry and research, and free-lance information brokers. At the last ODOK conferences we welcomed about 250 to 300 participants, mainly from Austria and the German-speaking neighboring countries. German will be the language used at the conference.
