Aims and scope
-----
Since its beginnings in Hong Kong in 1998, ICADL has become a premiere
international conference for digital library research. ICADL 2016 in
Tsukuba,
the Japanese science city near Tokyo, offers a valuable opportunity for
researchers, educators, and practitioners to share their experiences and
innovative developments. ICADL 2016 will be held as a part of an
international
forum with the Asia-Pacific Forum of Information Schools (AP-IS) to promote
exchange and collaboration among information schools in Asia-Pacific. AP-IS
will include a doctoral consortium, workshops, panel discussions and
meetings
for students and faculties from Information Schools in the Asia-Pacific
region.

The main theme of ICADL 2016 is "Knowledge, Information and Data in Open
Access Society." We solicit not only high-quality, original research
papers, but
also practitioner papers identifying research problems and future
directions.

About Tsukuba City
-----
Tsukuba City is located approx. 50 km from Tokyo, only 45 min. by Tsukuba
Express line (express railway) and 60 min. by car, which is an excellent
accessibility from the central area of Tokyo. The topography is rather
flat covered with rich nature, such as Mt. Tsukuba at the north which is
familiar to many people, and Lake Kasumigaura at the east which is the
second largest lake in Japan. The climate is relatively warm throughout
the year, which makes a very comfortable environment.
