JCDL steering Committee
The objective of the ACM/IEEE JCDL is to promote research and development in the area of Digital Libraries. The conference goal is to meet the needs of a large and diverse constituency, which includes practitioners, researchers, educators, and policy makers. The focus of the conference is to provide a forum where various aspects of digital libraries are addressed, different communities are represented, and to offer the opportunity for all to learn from one another and apply that knowledge to an integrated program of research, development, construction and utilization in digital libraries.
The conference is managed by a Steering Committee, a Conference committee and a Program committee. The details of The Steering Committee Charter and Membership History can be found here.
