CALL FOR PAPERS
      9th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries (IRCDL 2013)
      Rome, January 31 – February 1 http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~ircdl13

IRCDL is a yearly deadline for Italian researchers on Digital Libraries related topics. This year the focus of IRCDL 2013 is on emphasizing the multidisciplinary nature of the research on digital libraries which not only goes from humanities to computer science but also crosses among areas in the same field ranging, for example, from archival to librarian sciences or from information systems to human-computer interaction. This is a continued challenge for the DL field and there is the need to effectively bridge the gap existing between communities that share common objectives. The aim is therefore to provide the opportunity to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, developed both in the humanities and computer science fields, and to exchange experiences from on-going projects.

Topics

Relevant topics for IRCDL 2013 are related to the different aspects needed to support information access and interoperability. Topics include but are not limited to:
* Formal and methodological foundations of digital libraries
* DL Architectures and infrastructures
* System interoperability and data integration
* Ontologies and linked data for digital libraries
* Metadata creation, management, and curation
* User interfaces and visualization
* Information Access, Usability, and Personalization
* Long-term preservation
* Collaborative environments
* Social networking and networked information
* Quality and evaluation of digital libraries
* Digital libraries for education and learning
* Digital libraries for the evaluation of research quality and scholarly impact (bibliometric indicators, citation analysis, ...)
* Exploitation of cultural heritage material

Submissions

Research papers, describing original ideas on the fundamental aspects of digital libraries and technology, are solicited. Moreover, short papers on early research results, demos, and projects are also welcome. Research papers presenting original works should not exceed 12 pages whereas short papers should not exceed 6 pages. Papers should be submitted electronically as a PDF at
