*The 22nd International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL
2020)*

*Digital Libraries at Times of Massive Societal Transition*
*– Collaborating and Connecting Community during Global Change –*

*November 30 - December 1, 2020, Online*

*In collaboration with Asia-Pacific Chapter of iSchools*

International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL), which
started in Hong Kong in 1998 and over the years traveled many countries in
the Asia-Pacific region, is known as a major digital library conference and
is also ranked as "Core A" conference. Along with JCDL and TPDL, ICADL is
held annually as one of the three top venues for connecting digital
library, computer science and library and information science communities.
This year ICADL will be held online from November 30 to December 1, 2020
and according to Japan time zone. ICADL conference will also collaborate
with Asia-Pacific Chapter of iSchools (AP-iSchools) in this year.

Many emerging research areas such as Digital Humanities, Open Sciences,
Social Informatics originated from digital library research over the past
decades, and it is essential that ICADL continues as a platform for
scholars to connect and develop in these emerging as well as extant areas.
ICADL 2020 is planned as a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and
discuss together across domains for innovative digital information
environment especially during a time of pandemic, upheavals in work,
culture, health services and so on. An important feature of ICADL is the
diversity of the Asia-Pacific region in many aspects – languages, cultures,
social systems, development levels and technologies. This diversity will
bring new ideas and thoughts to the participants.

This year the conference will be held online same as many other related
events due to COVID-19 pandemics. Presentations will be then performed
online as well as they will be also recorded and disseminated later for
open access by the community. There will be no attendance fee, and only
prior registration of the attendees' information is required. The
conference is free for anyone to attend!

Proceedings of ICADL 2020 will be published by Springer as an LNCS volume,
which is indexed by Scopus. In this year we invite three kinds of
submissions: full research papers, short research papers and practitioners
papers. Note that there will be no demo or poster submissions for this
year. We encourage the potential authors who planned to submit posters or
demos to consider extending their submissions to a short paper format that
has length up to 6 pages.
