The 26th International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL 2024)

The International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL), which started in Hong Kong in 1998 and over the years traveled to 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 2024 will be held from December 4th to 7th, 2024 at Monash University, Malaysia as an onsite face-to-face conference; however, for those who cannot attend, ICADL 2024 will allow them to present their papers online and join sessions.

ICADL 2024 will be co-located with the annual meeting of the Asia-Pacific chapter of iSchools (AP-iSchools; https://ischools.org/). ICADL 2024 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 2024 is "Sustainability and Empowerment". Implementations of digital libraries and digital archives are no longer novelties, but familiar and accepted components of the information landscape providing a rich environment for evaluation of their actual and potential impact. This conference welcomes papers that explore the contribution that digital libraries and archives make to the sustainability and empowerment of communities, organisations, and individuals, including the risks and barriers to achieving sustainability and empowerment goals.

Proceedings of ICADL 2024 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.

All pricing is in AUD
