ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) 2011: Workshop on 
Disciplinary Repositories and Field-Specific Digital Libraries

*** Call for Presentations ***

Disciplinary repositories (DR) are a very particular instance of digital 
libraries, focused on collections of documents (and increasingly 
additional material) pertinent to a particular subject area or 
discipline. Several disciplinary repositories have grown to be 
cornerstones of the scientific workflows of scholars in the areas they 
serve, more successfully than broadband tools such as the freely 
accessible Google Scholar or subscription based services such Web of 
Knowledge, SCOPUS, and INSPEC.

The large user bases of disciplinary repositories (sometimes all the 
scholars of a discipline) and their large corpuses (sometimes all 
scientific articles in a field) makes them unique computer science, 
information science and social laboratories.

This workshop will be held at JCDL 2011 (http://www.jcdl2011.org) from 
1pm Thursday 16 June through 12noon Friday 17 June. The workshop will be 
of interest to anyone running or planning a DR, and anyone interested in 
data mining DR corpora. It will share "secrets for success"; allow 
discussions of technology, services, interoperability, and the 
engagement of users; and foster communication within the DR community. 
We call for proposals for short or lightening presentations on all 
aspects of disciplinary repositories and field-specific digital 
libraries. Some slots for longer talks may be made available for talks 
of particular interest and relevance for the audience. Topics may include:

* DR architecture, infrastructure and maintenance
* Social aspects: populating and growing DRs
* Sustainability through open access, proprietary access and hybrid models
* User interaction, interface design and usability
* Value-added and innovative services
* Interaction and integration with IRs, other DRs and proprietary systems
* DR as research corpus and platform for experiments

Please submit one page proposals in PDF to 
[log in to unmask] by 1 May 2011. Notification of acceptance 
will follow by 9 May 2011 with indication of talk length (lightening or 
longer contribution). At that time a timetable will be posted on the 
workshop website (https://indico.cern.ch/event/JCDL2011-DR). All 
accepted proposals will be collected with outcomes from the workshop in 
a summary article outlining the status of digital repositories. The 
workshop will have no proceedings.

Workshop chairs:
   C. Lee Giles (Pennsylvania State University),
   Salvatore Mele (CERN),
   Simeon Warner (Cornell University)
