The 25th International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL 2023)

December 4 – 7, 2023. Taipei, Taiwan*.

The 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 a major digital library 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 2023 will be held from December 4th to 7th, 2023 at the National Central Library in Taipei, Taiwan as an onsite face-to-face conference; however, for those who cannot attend, ICADL 2023 will allow them to present their papers online and join sessions.

ICADL 2023 will be co-located with the 11th Asia-Pacific Conference on Library Information Education and Practice (A-LIEP 2023; https://a-liep.org) and the annual meeting of Asia-Pacific chapter of iSchools (AP-iSchools; https://ischools.org/) under a collective title “2023 International Forum on Data, Information, and Knowledge for Resilient and Trustworthy Digital Societies” (the International Forum hereafter). Thus, ICADL 2023 will provide an excellent international forum for researchers from not only Asia-Pacific regions but also all over the world to meet people with different backgrounds but common research interests to exchange their cutting-edge knowledge, experience and practices in various relevant issues in digital libraries, Library and Information Science (LIS), and other related fields.

The theme for ICADL 2023 is “Leveraging Generative Intelligence in Digital Libraries: Towards Human-Machine Collaboration“. As generative artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining widespread use, it has the potential to positively and negatively impact digital libraries and their stakeholders. This conference welcomes papers that explores the role of generative AI in digital libraries and other information intensive environments.

Proceedings of ICADL 2023 are going to be published by Springer as an LNCS volume, which is indexed by Scopus. This year, we have the following four submission categories: full papers, short papers, practice papers, and demo/poster papers.

The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper will be awarded by the Program Committee and selected among the accepted full papers. Candidates for the Best Student Paper award should have students as first authors. Selected papers will be invited for a special issue to be published with the International Journal on Digital Libraries (IJDL), published by Springer.

In order to provide young scholars with guidance from mentors and establish networking opportunities among them, a student symposium will be held in the International Forum. In addition, if there is any interest in organizing workshops, tutorials, and panel sessions in the International Forum, we will consider them on request. Please contact the conference organizers (To: Prof. Hao-Ren Ke (clavenke@ntnu.edu.tw)) with your proposal (including title, background and purposes, topics, workshop/tutorial/panel structure, organizers). Information about accepted events will be put on the website of the International Forum.

*Onsite face-to-face conference, allowing those who cannot attend to present their papers online.

The review for practice paper submissions will put less emphasis on the novelty and more on real world practices and applications of DL technologies in institutions or companies.

Submission

All submissions must be in English, in PDF format. Papers should follow Springer Computer Science Proceedings guidelines (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). All papers are to be submitted via the conference’s EasyChair submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icadl2023).

The lengths of submissions should be as follows:

  • Full papers: 12-14 pages + references
  • Short papers: 6-8 pages + references
  • Practice papers: 6-8 pages + references
  • Demo/poster papers: 4-6 pages + references

The review process is double-blind. At least 3 Program Committee members will review each submission. The review for practice paper submissions will put less emphasis on the novelty and more on real world practices and applications of DL technologies in institutions or companies. Sufficient time will be given to the oral presentation for accepted papers in all submission categories either in-person or using an online presentation platform to be chosen later (e.g., WebEx). Each accepted paper must be presented by at least one of the co-authors.
