Call For Papers

The 9th International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL 2006)

November 27-30, 2006, Kyoto, Japan

http://www.icadl2006.org/

The International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL) is an
annual Asian event of international participation focusing on digital
libraries and related technologies. Inaugurated in Hong Kong in 1998, ICADL
has since been hosted in Taipei, Taiwan (1999), Seoul, South Korea (2000),
Bangalore, India (2001), Singapore (2002), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2003),
Shanghai, China (2004) and Bangkok, Thailand (2005). The 9th ICADL
(ICADL2006) will be held in Kyoto, Japan in the late November. ICADL2006
provides an international forum for sharing experiences and up-to-date
technologies among researchers, developers, educators, practitioners and
policy makers from a variety of disciplines. ICADL2006, as well as the
previous ICADL conferences, focuses on the use, adoption and adaptation of
digital libraries, which include work surrounding digital libraries and
related technologies, the management of knowledge in digital libraries, and
the associated usability and social issues. Kyoto, which is globally known
