About JCDL...
The Conference
The Joint Conference on Digital Libraries is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries
and associated technical, practical, and social issues. JCDL enhances the tradition of
conference excellence already established by the ACM and IEEE-CS by combining the annual events that
these professional societies have sponsored on an annual basis, the ACM Digital Libraries Conferences and
the IEEE-CS Advances in Digital Libraries Conferences.
JCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term "digital libraries", including (but not limited to) new
forms of information institutions; operational information systems with all manner of digital content;
new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, and distributing digital content; and theoretical models
of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing.
Digital libraries are distinguished from information retrieval systems because they include more types
of media, provide additional functionality and services, and include other stages of the information
life cycle, from creation through use. Digital libraries also can be viewed as a new form of information
institution or as an extension of the services libraries currently provide.
Intended audience
The intended community for this conference includes those interested in such aspects of digital libraries as
infrastructure; institutions; metadata; content; services; digital preservation; system design;
implementation; interface design; human-computer interaction; evaluation of performance; evaluation of
usability; collection development; intellectual property; privacy; electronic publishing; document genres;
multimedia; social, institutional, and policy issues; user communities; and associated theoretical topics.
Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of disciplines and professions
involved in digital library research and practice, including computer science, information science,
librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, medicine, social
sciences, and humanities. All domains - academe, government, industry, and others - are encouraged to
participate as presenters or attendees.
