17th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries
Valetta, Malta, September 22-26, 2013
http://www.tpdl2013.info
The International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital
Libraries constitutes a leading European scientific forum on digital
libraries that brings together researchers, developers, content
providers and users in the field of digital libraries. The 17th
International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries
(TPDL 2013) is organized by the University of Malta and it will be
held in Valetta, Malta on September 22-26, 2013.
* Aims and scope *
Valuable and rapidly increasing volumes of data are produced or
transformed into digital form by all fields of science, education,
culture, business and government. For this purpose the digital
libraries community has developed long-term and interdisciplinary
research agendas, providing significant results, such as conceptual
models, added value infrastructures, software tools, standards and
services.
The advent of the technologies that enhance the exchange of
information with rich semantics is on the centre of the discussions of
the community. Information providers inter-link their metadata with
user contributed data and offer new services outlooking to the
development of a web of data and addressing the interoperability and
long-term preservation challenges.
TPDL 2013 under the general theme "sharing meaningful information",
invites submissions describing original, unpublished research and not
(and will not be)simultaneously under consideration for publication
elsewhere, for the proliferation of scientific and research osmosis in
the following categories: Full Papers, Short Papers, Posters and
Demonstrations, Workshops and Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral
Consortium. All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of
relevance, originality, importance and clarity in a triple peer review
process.
The TPDL 2013 proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs). The authors of the best
research papers presented to TPDL2013 will be invited to submit
substantially extended versions of their paper for publication in a
Focused Issue of the International Journal on Digital Libraries

[Lib-helig-l] Latest additions to E-LIS : Eprints in Library and Informations Science, http://eprints.rclis.org/
Colleagues
I used to post recent submissions to E-LIS in the past. I discontinued
the practice. Please let me know at Darriesfa@gmail.com, whether posts
such as below is something you would find of value
Established in 2003, E-LIS is an international Open Archive for
Library and Information Science (LIS). Over 14,500 papers have been
archived to date. It is freely accessible, aligned with the Open
Access (OA) movement and is a voluntary enterprise. E-LIS has grown to
include a team of volunteer editors from 44 countries and support for
22 languages. The development of an international LIS network has been
stimulated by the extension of the OA concept to LIS works and
facilitated by the dissemination of material within the LIS community.
These are some of the reasons for the success of E-LIS.
