I've been asked by the organizing committee to circulate this call for
proposals. JCDL has the potential to become an important venue for
cross-fertilization amongst digital library professionals in both academic
and operational service environments.
Kind regards,
Dan

Call for Papers: JCDL 2002
Joint Conference on Digital Libraries
July 14-18, 2002
Portland, Oregon, USA
http://www.jcdl2002.org/
Jointly sponsored by
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval (ACM SIGIR)
Special Interest Group on Hypertext, Hypermedia, and the Web (ACM SIGWEB)
and
Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society
(IEEE Computer Society)
Technical Committee on Digital Libraries (TCDL)
In cooperation with
The American Society for Information Science & Technology (ASIST)
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.
IMPORTANT DATES
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
Formats for submission: All contributions are to be submitted in
electronic form via the JCDL web site, following ACM format
guidelines and using the templates provided. Templates are available
in Word Perfect, Microsoft Word, and LaTeX. Submissions should be in
PDF (preferably) or Postscript (with all required fonts embedded in
the document.) If these format requirements are a hardship, please
contact the program chair.
Content and Length: Submissions will be judged on significance,
originality, relevance, correctness, clarity, and ability to be
understood by an audience with varied expertise. Papers and proposals
that exceed the length requirement will be rejected. Papers should
clearly identify what has been accomplished, why it is significant,
and how it compares with previous work. Full papers are restricted to
10 pages and short papers to 2 pages. Panels and posters are means to
present work-in-progress, late-breaking results, or other efforts
that would benefit from discussion with the community. Successful
panel proposals involve a controversial topic and articulate and
entertaining panelists. Panel proposals consist of a title, 1-page
extended abstract explaining the topic and goals of the session and a
list of titles of individual presentations/viewpoints, and contact
information for the organizer, moderator, and presenters. Posters
provide an opportunity to present late-breaking res!
ults in an informal manner. We are also encouraging submissions that
describe results from newly-funded projects (e.g., DLI-2). Poster
proposals consist of a title, 1-page extended abstract, contact
information for the authors, and an indication whether or not a slot
for an oral presentation is desired. Accepted posters will be
displayed at the conference and may include additional materials,
space permitting. Demonstrations offer hands-on experience with
digital library systems, whether advanced operational systems or
research prototypes. The 1-page proposal should indicate how the
demonstration illustrates new ideas. Proposals are also solicited
for tutorials, covering a single topic in detail over either a
half-day or a full day. Workshops are intended to draw together
communities of interest on a new or emerging issue and provide a
forum for discussion and exploration.
Details about the requirements and format for conference submissions
are posted on the conference web site (http://www.jcdl2002.org).
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 temperatures are moderate
and humidity is low. Within 1-2 hours driving distance are the
Oregon coast, the myriad of recreational activities in the Cascade
Mountains, and Mt. St. Helens.
