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 types of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, retrieving and distributing digital content; digital preservation and archiving; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing. 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---academic, government, industry, and others---are encouraged to participate as presenters or attendees. ------------------------------------------------------------ VENUE The conference will be held in Vancouver, regularly ranked as one of the world's most livable cities. The conference hotel, the Westin Bayshore, is a resort hotel on the water's edge, with sea and mountain views and easy access to the 1000-acre Stanley Park, as well as the city's shopping and restaurants. ------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES January 22, 2007 : Full papers, panel and tutorial proposals due February 5, 2007 : Short papers, posters, workshop and demonstration proposals due April 9, 2007 : Revision deadline for accepted submissions ------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSIONS Paper Submission Full and short papers will be included in the conference proceedings and will be presented at the conference. Papers must be in English with a limit of 10 pages (approximately 5000 words) for full papers and 2 pages for short papers. All papers must be original contributions (i.e., have not been previously published or currently under review for publication elsewhere). All contributions are to be submitted in electronic form via the JCDL 2007 submission web page, following ACM format guidelines and using the template provided (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html <https://webmail.ntu.edu.sg/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html> ). Preferred submission formats are PDF or Microsoft Word. The conference will award the Vannevar Bush Award to the best full paper. Panels Panels provide opportunities for experts in complementary areas to present multiple, contrasting viewpoints on compelling topics. Successful panel proposals involve a controversial or emerging topic, and articulate and enthusiastic panelists with differing perspectives. Panel proposals should consist of: (1) a title and 1-page extended abstract explaining the topic and goals of the panel; (2) a list of individual presenters and viewpoints; and (3) contact information for the organizer, moderator, and panelists. Panels typically have 3-4 members and a single moderator. All contributions are to be submitted in electronic form via the JCDL 2007 submission web page. Posters and Demonstrations Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner. Poster proposals should 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 posters will appear in the proceedings. Demonstrations showcase innovative digital libraries technology and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your colleagues in a high visibility setting. Demonstration proposals should consist of a title, 1-page extended abstract and contact information of the authors. Abstracts of demonstrations will appear in the proceedings. Poster and Demonstration contributions are to be submitted in electronic form via the JCDL 2007 submission web page. Contributions are due February 5, 2007. For more information, contact Michael Christel, Poster/Demonstration Chair, at christel@cs.cmu.edu. Tutorials Proposals for tutorials and workshops are also solicited. Tutorials are intended to present a single topic in detail over either a half day or a full day. Tutorial proposals should include: a tutorial title; an abstract (1-2 paragraphs, to be used in conference programs); a description or topical outline of tutorial (1-2 paragraphs, to be used for evaluation); duration (half- or full-day); expected number of participants; target audience, including level of experience (introductory, intermediate, advanced); learning objectives; a brief biographical sketch of the presenter(s); and contact information of the presenter(s). Tutorial proposals should be emailed directly to the Tutorial Chair, Andreas Paepcke (paepcke@cs.stanford.edu). For further information, please contact the Tutorial Chair. Workshops Workshops are intended to draw together communities of interest in new or emerging issues, and provide a forum for discussion and exploration. Submissions should include: a workshop title and short description; a statement of objectives for the workshop; a topical outline for the workshop; identification of the expected audience; a description of the planned format, duration (half- or full-day), and expected number of attendees; information about how the attendees will be identified, notified of the workshop, and, if necessary, selected from among applicants; as well as contact and biographical information about the organizers. Finally, if a workshop has been held previously, information about the earlier sessions should be provided -- dates, locations, outcomes, attendance, etc. Workshop submissions are to be submitted electronically via the JCDL 2007 submission web page by February 5, 2007. For further information, please contact Michael Nelson, Workshop Chair, at mln@cs.odu.edu.
