Papers<br>
---------<br>
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.<br><br>
Posters and Demos<br>
-----------------------<br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
The call is also open for contributions to panels, themes, tutorials and
Doctoral Consortium. For more information see the website
