> Call for Participation
> June 15 - 19, 2009 - Austin, TX

> What is the Doctoral Consortium?
> 
> The Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over  
> the
> world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work (i.e., the
> consortium is not intended for those who are finished or nearly finished
> with their dissertation). The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to help
> students with their thesis and research plans by providing feedback and
> 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 take
> place on a single full day. Up to 15 students will have the  
> opportunity to
> participate. Limited funding may be available to partially offset travel
> and registration costs for those students with severe financial need.
> 
> Several prominent professors and experienced practitioners 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. 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. 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
