JCDL is an inter- and multi-disciplinary community of academics and practitioners in computer, information and social sciences and related disciplines, including museum and library professionals and archivists. Digital Libraries is a broad discipline encompassing notions of managing, operating, developing, curating, evaluating, or utilizing collections of data/information/knowledge within public and private spheres.

We invite submissions in many forms: short and long papers, panels, posters, tutorials, and workshops. We will also host a Doctoral Consortium.

We invite you to make original submissions on related research and practice. We especially welcome topics related to and informed by the theory and practice of digital libraries in times of crises.

Topics of interest, as they relate to digital libraries, include, but are not limited to:

· Collaborative and participatory information environments

· Crowdsourcing and human computation

· Cyberinfrastructure architectures, applications, and deployments

· Data curation and stewardship

· Digital humanities and heritage

· Digital preservation

· Distributed information systems

· Document genres

· Extracting semantics, entities, and patterns from large collections

· Hypertext and Web/network science

· Human-information Interaction

· Information and knowledge systems

· Information retrieval

· Information visualization

· Infrastructure and service design

· Knowledge discovery

· Linked data and its applications

· Multimedia

· Performance evaluation

· Personal digital information management

· Policy and law

· Privacy and Intellectual property

· Scientific data management

· Social media, architecture, and applications

· Social networks, virtual organizations and networked information

· User behavior and modeling

· User communities
