The International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL) is one of the leading international conferences in digital libraries research. ICADL 2007 will provide a forum for sharing ideas, research results and experiences in digital libraries, related technologies and associated practical and social issues. Participants from diverse backgrounds are encouraged. Previous conferences have included practitioners, researchers, educators and policy makers from a variety of disciplines such as computer science/information technology, library and information sciences, archival and museum studies, knowledge management, and many areas in the social sciences and humanities.

Into its tenth year, the theme of ICADL 2007 will be "Asian Digital libraries: Looking Back 10 Years and Forging New Frontiers".  In line with this theme, we are soliciting papers that examine the history and development of digital libraries, especially projects in the Asian region, as well as papers that discuss future developments and cutting-edge technologies in digital libraries. Submissions focusing on other digital library areas are also welcome and may include research, system, evaluation, policy and position papers. Topics include but are not limited to:
