--------------------------------------- * Introduction * The International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL) is the leading scientific forum on digital libraries and related research areas that brings together researchers, developers, content providers and practitioners. The first day of the conference will offer conference attendees and local participants a stimulating and informative selection of tutorials covering current topics in digital libraries and related technologies and areas of research. Topics should have a direct relevance to the topics of the conference; a full list of current topics of interest can be found at <http://tpdl2013.info/>. Anticipated areas of interest at the time of TPDL2013 include topics related to digital libraries, their foundations and methodologies, as well as their relevant applications and usages, including cross-disciplinary areas. We especially welcome tutorials bridging multiple areas, or presenting new perspectives in these areas, and tutorials with a practical hands-on approach that educate participants in using a technology after the tutorial. Proposals will be considered for half-day and full-day tutorials. Tutorials may cover material either at an introductory level (introducing new areas of research or practice to attendees) or in depth (advancing the understanding of attendees with basic familiarity of the area). Tutorials may target researchers, practitioners, or the field as a whole. * Submission * Tutorial proposals should be submitted in PDF via <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tpdl2013tutorials> A tutorial proposal should include the following: - Title of the tutorial - Instructor(s) and their credentials (short CV, link to personal web page) - Aims, scope and learning objectives of the tutorial - Relevance to TPDL2013 and significance for the research field - Full description (1-2 pages to be used for evaluation) - Tutorial history (previous offerings of tutorial, if any) - Format of tutorial (half- or full-day) - Target audience and prerequisite knowledge - Keywords - Any other noteworthy comments or remarks Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by the Tutorial Chairs and the Program Committee with the approval of the Conference General Chairs and Program Chairs.
