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.

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/doctoral_consortium.
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/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/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/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.
