Papers
---------
Papers are invited on substantial, original and completed research, 
applications and development that have not previously been presented 
elsewhere and that make new contributions to all aspects of Digital 
Libraries. Papers should present completed work rather than intended work, 
and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported 
results. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be 
included. Submissions will be judged on clarity, originality, technical 
strength, significance and relevance to the conference, and interest to the 
attendees. Reviewing will be managed by an international Conference 
Programme Committee which will also take final decisions on the technical 
program.

Posters and Demos
-----------------------
Poster and Demo presentations offer researchers a unique opportunity to 
present late-breaking results, significant work in progress, or research 
that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Poster and 
demo presentations further provide researchers with an opportunity to 
obtain feedback about their work from a wide range of persons during the 
poster session.

Accepted posters and demos will be displayed during a dedicated session, 
preceded by a plenary poster spotlight presentation session. The poster and 
demo session will allow attendees to have first-hand views of innovative 
digital library technologies and applications and to talk informally with 
system developers and researchers.

The call is also open for contributions to panels, themes, tutorials and 
Doctoral Consortium. For more information see the website
