Abstract

Welcome to JCDL 2006. The ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. JCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term "digital libraries," including (but not limited to) new forms of information institutions; operational information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, and distributing digital content; digital preservation and archiving; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing.The conference theme is "Opening Information Horizons". This theme is explored in the two keynote addresses, one covering the technological, economic and social issues of putting books online and the other covering open information and the threats, challenges and responsibilities it entails. The conference also features two panels: an update on the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program and the other covering an emerging effort regarding scholarly repositories.This year, there were 248 total submissions from 22 countries. From 107 full papers and 81 short papers, the program committee selected 28 full papers and 29 short papers for presentation at the conference. In addition, 37 posters and 13 demonstrations will be presented in a special evening session. As in past years, we will be awarding the:

  • Vannevar Bush Best Paper Award (sponsored by ACM)

  • Best Student Paper (sponsored by IEEE-CS Technical Committee on Digital Libraries)

  • Best Poster (sponsored by University of North Carolina, School of Information and Library Science).

Nominees for the best paper awards will be announced at the opening session of the conference and the award will be presented at the banquet. The best poster award is determined by popular vote during the poster and demo session. As in previous JCDL conferences, the conference opened with tutorials and will conclude with workshops. JCDL 2006 continues with the doctoral consortium, introduced in last year's conference.
