Call for Papers
========================

The ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries is a major
international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated
technical, practical, organizational, and social issues. JCDL
encompasses the many meanings of the term "digital libraries", including
(but not limited to) new forms of information institutions and
organizations; operational information systems with all manner of
digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing,
distributing, and accessing digital content; theoretical models of
information media, including document genres and electronic publishing;
and theory and practice of use of managed content in science and education.

The theme for JCDL 2011 is "Digital Libraries: Bringing Together
Scholars, Scholarship and Research Data", in recognition of the changes
the digital age is now bringing to scholarship, broadly writ. Publishing
models are changing, along with the breadth of digital material that
must be managed coherently in the context of users forcing the move from
information silos to a landscape of interconnected systems supporting
scholarship for both research and education. Additionally in a number of
disciplines we are seeing funding agency directives to include with
primary scholarship those materials on which the scholarship is based
such as data sets both in the sciences and humanities. Further, we are
seeing more focus on requirements for managing data for use in the
future by other scholars.

The intended community for this conference includes those interested in
all aspects of digital libraries such as infrastructure; institutions;
metadata; content; services; digital preservation;
system design; scientific data management; workflows; implementation;
interface design; human-computer interaction; performance evaluation;
usability evaluation; collection development; intellectual property;
privacy; electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; social,
institutional, and policy issues; user communities; and associated
theoretical topics. JCDL welcomes submissions in these areas, and
submissions associated with the JCDL 2011 theme of "Digital
Libraries:Bringing Together Scholars, Scholarship and Research Data" are
particularly welcome.

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, data science, librarianship, data
management, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice,
information technology, medicine, social sciences, education and
humanities. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and
others are invited to participate.
