From Data to Wisdom: Resilient Integration across Societies,
Disciplines, and Systems

The ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries in 2018 (JCDL 2018)
will be hosted by three units of the University of North Texas (UNT) —
the College of Information, the UNT Health Science Center, and the UNT
Libraries. It will be held at the UNT Health Science Center in Fort
Worth, the rustic and artistic threshold into the American West. Its
co-organizer includes the School of Information Management at Wuhan
University. JCDL 2018 will be held in conjunction with UNT Open Access
Symposium 2018.

Communities Welcomed!

JCDL welcomes interesting submissions ranging across theories,
systems, services, and applications. We invite those managing,
operating, developing, curating, evaluating, or utilizing digital
libraries broadly defined, covering academic or public institutions,
including archives, museums, and social networks. We seek involvement
of those in iSchools, as well as working in computer or information or
social sciences and technologies. Multiple tracks and sessions will
ensure tailoring to researchers, practitioners, and diverse
communities including data science/analytics, data
curation/stewardship, information retrieval, human-computer
interaction, hypertext (and Web/network science), multimedia,
publishing, preservation, digital humanities, machine learning/AI,
heritage/culture, health/medicine, policy, law, and
privacy/intellectual property.

Additional Topics of Interest

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to
another journal or conference. Please use the ACM Proceedings
template, and submit in electronic form via the conference's EasyChair
submission page.

The following paper categories are welcome:

Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an
important milestone, and must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted full
papers will typically be presented in 20 minutes with 10 minutes for
questions and discussion.

Short papers may highlight preliminary results to bring them to the
community’s attention. They may also present theories or systems that
can be described concisely in the limited space. Short papers must not
exceed 4 pages in the conference format. Accepted short papers will
typically be presented in 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions and
discussion.

Posters and Demonstrations permit presentation of late-breaking
results in an informal, interactive manner. Demonstrations showcase
innovative digital library technologies and applications, allowing you
to share your work directly with your colleagues in a high-visibility
setting. Proposals for posters or demonstrations should consist of a
title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and
should not exceed 2 pages in the conference format. Accepted posters
and demonstrations will be displayed at the conference.  Accepted
posters and demonstrations will be included in the proceedings of the
conference and the ACM digital library.

Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all
over the world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work
(i.e., the consortium is not intended for those who are finished or
nearly finished with their dissertation). Please find the detailed DC
call for partiicpation at: https://2018.jcdl.org/CFP DC.

Tutorials provide an opportunity to offer in-depth education on a
topic or solution relevant to research or practice in digital
libraries. They should address a single topic in detail over either a
half-day or a full day. More information about Tutorials can be found
at: https://2018.jcdl.org/CFP Tutorials.

Workshops are intended to draw together communities of interest - both
those in established communities and those interested in discussion
and exploration of a new or emerging issue. They can range in format
from formal, perhaps centering on presentation of refereed papers, to
informal, perhaps centering on an extended round-table discussions
among the selected participants. Workshops relating to the theme of
the conference, "From Data to Wisdom: Resilient Integration across
Societies, Disciplines, and Systems" are particularly encouraged.
Workshop proposals should be no more than 2 pages. More information
about call for workshops can be found at: https://2018.jcdl.org/CFP
Workshops.

Panels are intended to draw together communities of interest,
including those with strong traditions in the JCDL community as well
as those involving emerging issues of interest in the community.
Panels typically last about 60 to 90 minutes and include an extended
round-table discussion among the selected participants and the
audience present. Each panelist may also choose to make a short
statement. Panels relating to the theme of the conference — “From Data
to Wisdom: Resilient Integration across Societies, Disciplines, and
Systems” — are particularly encouraged.

Panels at JCDL are intended to draw together communities of interest,
including those with strong traditions in the digital library
community as well as those involving emerging issues of interest to
members of the community at large. The panels typically last about 90
minutes and include an extended round-table discussion among the
selected participants and the audience members. More information about
Panels can be found at: https://2018.jcdl.org/CFP Panels.

Supplemental Datasets or software artifacts. Datasets or software
artifacts that supplement short or long papers may be submitted as
part of the paper submissions. They could be considered during the
review of the papers. We support the objective of the ACM to include
the dataset or software artifact in the proceedings and later in the
ACM Digital Library, separately identified and discoverable.
