Hi Advisors - 

Apologies if you saw this already in another listserv list.

Until we can set up a blog or whatever for student members, I will
forward info that might be of value to your students, and ask that you
pass it on. Here is some news for PhD students.

Thanks,

Candy

Excuse cross postings!

1st Doctoral Consortium of the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries
Call for Participation

University Corporation for Atmospheric Research
Boulder, Colorado (USA)
7 June 2005 

What is the Doctoral Consortium?

The Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over
the world who are in the course of their dissertation work. (Ph.D.
students with dissertations finished or nearly completed should,
however, apply for a paper to the regular conference program.) The goal
of the Doctoral Consortium is to help students with their thesis by
providing feedback to them on their research as well as to give general
advice on using the research environment in a constructive and
international atmosphere. Students will present and discuss their thesis
in the context of a well-known and established international conference
outside of their usual university atmosphere. The workshop will be a
full day and will be held at the University Corporation for Atmospheric
Research (UCAR), the home institution of the DLESE Program Center and
the NSDL Central Office, followed by a drive to Denver to join the JCDL
conference and a group dinner. A very limited number of students will
have the oppo!  rtunity to participate.  Students will be expected to
pay their expenses and should plan to attend JCDL 2005, registered as
students (see http://www.jcdl2005.org/).

Five prominent professors and one experienced practitioner in the field
of digital library research in organizations from different countries
and continents will conduct the workshop. They will review all the
submissions and comment on the content of the thesis as well as on the
presentation. If submissions are received outside the scope of expertise
of these leaders, additional faculty will be selected to participate in
leading the workshop.  Students will have 20 minutes to present their
research, focusing on the main theme of their thesis, what they have
achieved so far and how they plan to continue their work. Another 20
minutes is reserved for discussion and feedback from both the professors
and other participants. There will also be time reserved for one-on-one
mentoring of students to provide more in-depth feedback.  In the course
of the workshop students will also get advice on more general questions,
e.g. the differences of Ph.D. studies in different countries.

	Call for Papers and Topics

Students interested in participating in the Doctoral Consortium should
submit an extended abstract (see details below) describing their Digital
Library research. Submissions relating to any aspect of Digital Library
research, development, and evaluation are welcomed, including: technical
advances, usage and impact studies, policy analyses, social and
institutional implications, theoretical contributions, interaction and
design advances, and innovative applications in the sciences,
humanities, and education.

To apply for participation at the Doctoral Consortium, please provide an
extended abstract of your doctoral work to
http://www.softconf.com/start/JCDL2005/submit.html. Choose Doctoral
Consortium as the Submission Type.  The extended abstract is restricted
to 4000 words (approx. 8 pages). Submissions should be submitted
electronically in pdf-format. The abstracts should

.	clearly formulate the research question,
.	identify the significant problems in the field of research,
.	summarize the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well
as the state of the art for solutions,
.	clearly present any preliminary research plans and ideas, and
the results achieved so far,
.	sketch the research methodology that is to be applied,
.	describe the expected contributions of the applicant to the
research area, and
.	(for technical research) describes how the research is
innovative, novel or extends existing approaches to a problem.

Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, correctness,
and clarity. Between 10 and 15 Ph.D. students will be selected to
participate in this inaugural workshop.
