AIMS
The field of digital libraries has undergone dramatic changes as digital
collections grow in scale and diversity. These changes call for novel
analytical tools and methodologies for making sense of large amounts of
heterogeneous data, for deriving diverse kinds of knowledge, and for linking
across different collections and research disciplines. Thus the theme of the
2017 conference is #TOScale #TOAnalyze #TODiscover. Digital libraries must
improve outreach efforts, engage diverse communities, and provide scholars and
users with effective and flexible access to materials which will in turn
empower them to make new observations and discoveries. This year, we
particularly invite papers, panels, workshops, and tutorials that present new
discovery methods for diverse kinds of collections and datasets (e.g.,
documents, images, sounds, videos), that apply recent technologies in related
fields like machine learning and data mining, and that report on innovative
digital library applications that engage diverse communities, facilitate user
access, and enable discovery and exploration in all domains including science,
art, and the humanities.
This year, in addition to the research-oriented program, we are organizing a
practitioners’ day so experts and practitioners can share their experiences and
report on major projects. Practitioner contributions will take the form of
posters and demos.
Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of
established and emerging disciplines and professions including computer
science, information science, web science, data science, digital humanities,
librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum studies
and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences, education and
the humanities. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and others
are invited to participate.
TOPICS
JCDL welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners interested in all
aspects of digital libraries such as: collection discovery and development,
hybrid physical/digital collections; knowledge discovery; applications of
machine learning and AI; services; digital preservation; system design;
scientific data management; infrastructure and service design; implementation;
interface design; human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; user
research; crowdsourcing and human computation; intellectual property; privacy;
electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; user communities; and
associated theoretical topics. Submissions that resonate with JCDL 2017 theme
are especially welcome, although we will give equal consideration to all topics
in digital libraries.
SUBMISSIONS
Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important
milestone, and must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted full papers will typically be
presented in 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion.
Short papers may highlight preliminary results to bring them to the community’s
attention. They may also present theories or systems that can be described
concisely in the limited space. Short papers must not exceed 4 pages in the
conference format. Accepted short papers will typically be presented in 10
minutes with 5 minutes for questions and discussion.
Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal,
interactive manner. Demonstrations showcase innovative digital library
technologies and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with
your colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Proposals for posters or
demonstrations should consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact
information for the authors, and should not exceed 2 pages in the conference
format. Accepted posters and demonstrations will be displayed at the conference.
All paper submissions (full/short papers, posters and demos) should use the ACM
Proceedings template and are to be submitted in electronic format via the
conference's EasyChair submission page [forthcoming-see website for link
http://2017.jcdl.org/call-for-papers]. All accepted papers will be published by
the ACM as conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in
both the ACM and IEEE digital libraries.
