ABOUT JCDL
---------------
The Joint Conference on Digital Libraries is a major international forum
focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and
social issues. We welcome researchers and practitioners with broad and
diverse interests including: technical advances, usage and impact studies,
policy analyses, social and institutional implications, theoretical
contributions, interaction and design advances, and innovative applications
in the sciences, humanities, and education.
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.
CONFERENCE THEME: CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION
---------------
The theme of JCDL 2005 highlights the powerful role of digital libraries as
cyberinfrastructure. This cyberinfrastructure has the potential to engender
the creation of new tools, research methodologies, and processes that will
enable scientists and learners to investigate the natural world, the social
world, and the human-built environment in new and previously unimaginable
ways. As global interests in computation, information management,
networking, and intelligent sensing converge, the conduct of research and
education will be transformed. In addition to the digital library research
topics listed above, JCDL 2005 encourages submission of technical articles
that illustrate digital libraries as cyberinfrastructure. Examples include
(but are not limited to): digital libraries and grid computing; service
oriented architectures; case studies illustrating how digital library
services can transform the conduct of research or education; the design and
development of distributed library services; digital library research for
enhancing e-learning and education; and digital library research for
enhancing e-science.
