-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL),
which started in Hong Kong in 1998 and over the years traveled many
countries in the Asia-Pacific region, is a major digital library
conference. Along with JCDL and TPDL, ICADL is held annually as one of the
three top venues for connecting digital library, computer science, and
library and information science communities. This year, ICADL 2023 will be
held from December 4th to 7th, 2023 at the National Central Library in
Taipei, Taiwan as an onsite face-to-face conference; however, for those who
cannot attend, ICADL 2023 will allow them to present their papers online
and join sessions.
ICADL 2023 will be co-located with the 11th Asia-Pacific Conference on
Library Information Education and Practice (A-LIEP 2023; https://a-liep.org)
and the annual meeting of Asia-Pacific chapter of iSchools (AP-iSchools;
https://ischools.org/) under a collective title “2023 International Forum
on Data, Information, and Knowledge for Resilient and Trustworthy Digital
Societies” (the International Forum hereafter). Thus, ICADL 2023 will
provide an excellent international forum for researchers from not only
Asia-Pacific regions but also all over the world to meet people with
different backgrounds but common research interests to exchange their
cutting-edge knowledge, experience and practices in various relevant issues
in digital libraries, Library and Information Science (LIS), and other
related fields.
The theme for ICADL 2023 is "*Leveraging Generative Intelligence in Digital
Libraries: Towards Human-Machine Collaboration*". As generative artificial
intelligence (AI) is gaining widespread use, it has the potential to
positively and negatively impact digital libraries and their stakeholders.
This conference welcomes papers that explores the role of generative AI in
digital libraries and other information intensive environments.
Proceedings of ICADL 2023 are going to be published by Springer as an LNCS
volume, which is indexed by Scopus. This year, we have the following four
submission categories: full papers, short papers, practice papers, and
demo/poster papers.
The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper will be awarded by the Program
Committee and selected among the accepted full papers. Candidates for the
Best Student Paper award should have students as first authors. Selected
papers will be invited for a special issue to be published with the
International Journal on Digital Libraries (IJDL), published by Springer.
In order to provide young scholars with guidance from mentors and establish
networking opportunities among them, a doctoral colloquium will be held in
the *International Forum*. In addition, if there is any interest in
organizing workshops, tutorials, and panel sessions in the *International
Forum*, we will consider them on request. Please contact the conference
organizers (To: Prof. Hao-Ren Ke ([log in to unmask])) with your proposal
(including title, background and purposes, topics, workshop/tutorial/panel
structure, organizers). Information about accepted events will be put on
the website of the *International Forum*.

- Information Technologies, Data Science & Applications
- Cultural Information, Digital Humanities & Scholarly Data
Analysis
- Social Informatics and Socio-technological Issues in Digital
Libraries
Detailed topics are listed on the ICADL 2023 Website (
https://icadl.net/icadl2023).
All submissions must be in English, in PDF format. Papers should follow
Springer Computer Science Proceedings guidelines (
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
All papers are to be submitted via the conference’s EasyChair submission
system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icadl2023).
The lengths of submissions should be as follows:
･ Full papers: 12-14 pages + references
･ Short papers: 6-8 pages + references
･ Practice papers: 6-8 pages + references
･ Demo/poster papers: 4-6 pages + references
The review process is double-blind. At least 3 Program Committee members
will review each submission. The review for practice paper submissions will
put less emphasis on the novelty and more on real world practices and
applications of DL technologies in institutions or companies.
Sufficient time will be given to the oral presentation for accepted papers
in all submission categories either in-person or using an online
presentation platform to be chosen later (e.g., WebEx). Each accepted paper
must be presented by at least one of the co-authors.
