GSLIS will make a strong showing at the upcoming ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries<http://jcdl2013.org/node/3>, an event that brings together international scholars focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, organizational, and social issues. The conference will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, on July 22-26, 2013.

J. Stephen Downie, GSLIS professor and associate dean for research, is the general conference co-chair along with Robert H. McDonald, associate dean for library technologies and deputy director of the Data to Insight Center at Indiana University. This year’s theme is “Digital Libraries at the Crossroads,” with panels, posters, and workshops focusing on changes in the information field in light of digitization, big data, and the ever-changing nature of scholarly communications.

Associate Professor Jerome McDonough is a poster and demonstration co-chair; Associate Professor Miles Efron is a workshop co-chair; GSLIS-affiliated Professor Tim Cole is the program committee co-chair; and Megan Senseney, GSLIS project coordinator for research, is the local organizing co-chair.
