Jointly sponsored by:
The Joint Conference on Digital Libraries is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. 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 can be viewed as a new form of information institution or as an extension of the services libraries currently provide.
The intended community for this conference includes those interested in aspects of digital libraries such 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.
SUBMISSIONS: DEADLINES
January 14, 2002 - Full papers, panel and tutorial proposals
due
February 11, 2002 - Short papers, posters, proposals for workshops
and demonstrations due
April 8, 2002 - Final submissions due
PAPERS
Full and short papers will be included in the conference proceedings
and will be presented at the conference. Full papers are longer
and more developed (up to 10 pages, approximately 5000 words)
than short papers (up to 2 pages). All papers must be original
contributions (i.e., not previously published nor currently under
consideration for publication elsewhere). Copyright assignment
to the ACM will be required for accepted papers. The conference
language is English. Papers will be peer-reviewed rigorously,
as selection is highly competitive. Research and theory papers
should be grounded in the scholarly or practical literature appropriate
to the topic. Implementation papers should be grounded in prior
research, theory, or implementation, clearly indicating the new
contributions of the work. All papers are expected to contribute
to the advancement of their own area of study and to be accessible
to members of the conference audience. Papers should include an
abstract and keywords. Format follows the guidelines from previous
conferences; details can be found on the conference Web site
(http://www.jcdl.org/) and
from ACM page: http://www.acm.org/pubs/submitting_accepted_articles/auth_rd.htm
The conference awards the Vannevar Bush Award to the best full paper.
PANELS AND POSTERS
Panels provide opportunities to present large-scale multi-person or multi-organizational activities or multi-faceted views that often are on topics that warrant discussion with the community. Such topics will benefit from having the larger number of presenters in an undivided session that panels allow. Panel proposals consist of a title, one page extended abstract describing the goals of the session; information about the organizer, moderator, and presenters; and, optionally, titles of individual presentations.
Posters are means to present work-in-progress, late-breaking results, or other efforts that would benefit from discussion with the community. Poster proposals consist of a title, 1-page extended abstract, and contact information for the authors. Accepted posters will be displayed at the conference and may include additional materials, space permitting. Abstracts of panels and posters will appear in the proceedings.
OTHER SUBMISSIONS
Details about the requirements and format for other conference
submissions (demonstrations, tutorials, workshops) will be posted
on the conference web site (http://www.jcdl.org).
As a conference location, Portland is a beautiful venue with superb
access to aqua and terra attractions and events. The conference
hotel will be the Lloyd Center Doubletree Hotel, which is a short
ride on the light rail across the river to downtown Portland as
well as the eclectic eateries and galleries of NW 23rd St.. July
is an excellent month to visit the Pacific Northwest, as the temperatures
are moderate and the humidity is low. Within 1-2
hours driving distance are the Oregon coast, the myriad of recreational
activities in the Cascade Mountains, and the Mt. St. Helens National
Volcanic Monument.
