JOINT CONFERENCE ON DIGITAL LIBRARIES (JCDL)

摘要

This was the third annual JCDL, called joint because of the co-sponsorship of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM SIGIR and ACM SIGWEB) and the IEEE Technical Committee on Digital Libraries as well as the participation of the information retrieval, information science, and library communities. It took place May 27-31, 2003 at Rice University in Houston, Texas. JCDL tends to also be quite international with participants from various countries despite the fact that European and Asian Digital Library conferences are being held quite regularly. General information about the conference can be found at www.jcdl.org/ This year's conference was hosted by Rice University and chaired by Cathy Marshall (Microsoft) as program chair and Geneva Henry (Rice University) as general chair. The program committee for the conference is quite large, spanning a variety of expertise in academia, government and private industry. The conference is usually held in conjunction with other meetings such as the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) participants or the NSF Digital Library principal investigators. The conference will continue for at least another four years; the next one takes place in Tucson, Arizona, (see www.jcdl2004.org/ for more information).
