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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>TOPICS</div><div>We welcome research and practitioner papers in all aspects of digital libraries, for instance,</div><div>- collection development and discovery</div><div>- data mining and extraction</div><div>- risk management and quality assurance</div><div>- digital curation</div><div>- digital preservation</div><div>- applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning</div><div>- performance evaluation</div><div>- metadata creation and aggregation</div><div>- semantic web and linked data</div><div>- non-textual collection management</div><div>- recommendation system</div><div>- research data management</div><div>- digital humanities and digital cultural heritage</div><div>- service design for digital libraries</div><div>- user experience design</div><div>- user interface design</div><div>- human-computer interaction</div><div>- information visualization</div><div>- information retrieval</div><div>- applications of digital libraries in contexts such as learning, virtual organizations, collaborative task</div><div>- personal information management and personal digital libraries</div><div>- user generated content</div><div>- digital library management and administration</div><div>- digital library education</div><div>- digital cultures and digital literacy</div><div>- intellectual freedom, censorship, misinformation</div><div>- privacy</div><div>- intellectual property issues</div><div>- policy, legal, and ethical concerns for digital libraries</div><div>- socio-technical aspects of digital libraries</div><div>- sustainability of digital libraries.</div><div><br></div><div>In addition to high-quality, original research papers, practitioner and work-in-progress papers discussing issues and future directions of digital libraries and digital collections are also welcome.
