General Call for Participation

Curated Knowledge. Connected People. Extraordinary Results. 

Communities Welcomed:
JCDL welcomes interesting submissions ranging across theories, systems, services, and applications. We invite those managing, operating, developing, curating, evaluating, or utilizing digital libraries broadly defined, covering academic or public institutions, including archives, museums, and social networks. We seek involvement of those in iSchools, as well as working in computer or information or social sciences and technologies. Multiple tracks and sessions will ensure tailoring to researchers, practitioners, and diverse communities including data science/analytics, data curation/stewardship, information retrieval, human-computer interaction, hypertext (and Web/network science), multimedia, publishing, preservation, digital humanities, machine learning/AI, heritage/culture, health/medicine, policy, law, and privacy/intellectual property.

We invite submissions in many forms: short papers, long papers, panels, posters, tutorials, and workshops. We also host a Doctoral Consortium. For more specific information on these opportunities to participate, including submission deadlines, see the relevant sections of our website.
