AIMS
While the number of digital collections have been increased constantly and
in diverse practices, there are some concerns regarding the relevancy and
value of the efforts to expand, enhance, and sustain these collections to
society at large.  These concerns call for discussions and exemplifications
of how research efforts and practices on digital libraries improve the
quality of human life in all dimensions, such as education, business,
socialization, public administration, culture, and humanities.  In
addition, these questions initiate quest to discover novel methodologies of
producing, managing, analyzing, and storing digital collections as well as
deliver state-of-the-art services in a complex, connected, and
ever-changing environment that matter to our daily lives.  Therefore, the
theme of ICADL 2017 is “Data, Information, and Knowledge for Digital Lives”
which is open to all opportunities that illustrate how digital libraries,
digital collections, and corresponding methods would lead to better lives.

The 19th International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL
2017) will be co-located with The 8th Asia-Pacific Conference on Library &
Information Education and Practice (A-LIEP) Conference at Chulalongkorn
University, Bangkok, Thailand under a collective title “International Forum
on Data, Information, and Knowledge for Digital Lives”.  Hosting these
conferences together in a heart of Bangkok would bring a diverse group of
academic and professional community members from all parts of the world to
exchange their cutting-edge knowledge, experience and practices in various
relevant issues in digital libraries, and other related fields.
