[CODE4LIB] Deadline Extended: Call for Papers, JCDL 2010
Please see below the extended deadline for paper submissions to JCDL 2010. Call for Papers http://www.jcdl-icadl2010.org/ Joint Conference on Digital Libraries JCDL 2010 June 21-25, 2010 Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. http://www.jcdl2010.orghttp://www.jcdl2010.org/ Paper Submission Deadline Extended to February 1 Sponsored by ACM SIGIR, ACM SIGWEB, ASIST, and IEEE-CS TCDL The ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) is the major international research forum focused on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. JCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term digital libraries, including (but not limited to) new forms of information institutions; operational information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, distributing, and evaluating digital content; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing. Digital libraries are distinguished from information retrieval systems because they include more types of media, provide additional functionality and services, and include other stages of the information life cycle, from creation through use. Digital libraries can also be viewed as an extension of the services libraries currently provide. The theme of JCL 2010 is “Digital Libraries – 10 years past, 10 years forward, a 2020 vision”. This theme reflects the fact that the context in which digital libraries were originally conceived has significantly changed in the context of new information models embodied in Web 2.0 and popular social networking applications. In this spirit, we are especially interested in papers that address and demonstrate new models of collaborative, participatory information interaction increasingly ubiquitous in the Web 2.0 context. JCDL 2010 invites submissions of papers and proposals for posters, demonstrations, tutorials, and workshops that will make the conference an exciting and creative event to attend. As always, the conference welcomes contributions from all the fields that intersect to enable Digital Libraries. Topics include, but are not limited to: • Collaborative and participatory information environments • Cyberinfrastructure architectures, applications, and deployments • Data mining/extraction of structure from networked information • Digital library and Web Science curriculum development • Evaluation of online information environments • Impact and evaluation of digital information in education • Information policy and copyright law • Personal digital information management • Retrieval and browsing • Social networks and networked information • Social-technical perspectives of digital information • Studies of human factors in networked information • Systems, algorithms, and models for data preservation • Theoretical models of information interaction and organization • Visualization of large-scale information environments Important Dates • All papers are due Monday, February 1, 2010 at 5 PM EST. • Demonstration submissions are due Monday, February 8, 2010 at 5 PM EST. • Tutorial proposals are due Monday, February 8, 2010 at 5 PM EST. • Poster submissions are due Monday, February 15, 2010 at 5 PM EST. • Workshop proposals are due Monday, February 22, 2010 at 5 PM EST. • Notification of acceptance to authors by March 15, 2010. • Doctoral consortium abstracts are due Wednesday, March 31, 2010.

It's good that this is being discussed now. It would be a shame to have someone not be able to attend because they didn't have adequate documents. There *are* immigration sites for both the U.S. and Canada that can provide up to date information regarding required documents. I was suggest using those sites rather than speculate about what might be required based on responses in this thread. That said, I probably should check my passport to see when it expires. In addition to the likely trip to Montpellier, there is a fairly high chance that'll be going to Tanzania on business as well. I have taken the 1000 Island Bridge (incredibly scenic for those that haven't done it) and have also taken the Wolf Island Ferries. I've probably traveled to/from Canada 6-7 times and got more scrutiny at the Wolf Island crossing than any other spot. Ride sharing is a good idea. With enough people coming from some areas renting a van might even be a viable option. -- John Fereira Cornell University Twitter: @john_fereira Google Wave: fere...@googlewave.com
Re: [CODE4LIB] Location of the first Code4Lib North meeting?
Only thing I would add is that for the detroit crossing coming back into the US it seems that library conference as your reason is an automatic trunk search as it has happened both times I've mentioned it. eby.
