Digital = libraries, under a variety of names and modalities, are often part of = the every day web experience. The challenge is how digital libraries can = enhance user experience through providing stability in changing = information environment, breaking down information silos, integrating = into accepted practices of the web, and providing a range of access and = services to resources across the web, both to human and machine users. The intended community for this conference includes those interested in = all aspects of digital libraries such as infrastructure; institutions; = metadata; content; services; digital preservation; system design; = scientific data management; workflows; implementation; interface design; = human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; usability = evaluation; collection development; intellectual property; privacy; = electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; social, = institutional, and policy issues; user communities; and associated = theoretical topics. JCDL welcomes submissions in these areas, and = submissions associated with the JCDL 2012 theme of social media = influenced themes of linking, sharing, usage, and preservation are = particularly welcome. The conference sessions, workshops and tutorials = will cover all these aspects. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full = range of established and emerging disciplines and professions including = computer science, information science, web science, data science, = librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum = studies and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences, = education and humanities. Representatives from academe, government, = industry, and others are invited to participate. JCDL 2012 will be held in Washington DC on the campus of the George = Washington University. The program is organized by an international = committee of scholars and leaders in the digital libraries field and = attendance is expected to include several hundreds of researchers, = practitioners, managers, and students. JCDL 2012 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 * Distributed information systems * Extracting semantics, entities, and patterns from large collections * Evaluation of online information environments * Impact and evaluation of digital libraries and information in = education * Information and knowledge systems * Information policy and copyright law * Information visualization * Interfaces to information for novices and experts * Linked data and its applications * Personal digital information management * Retrieval and browsing * Scientific data curation, citation and scholarly publication * Social media, architecture, and applications * Social networks, virtual organizations and networked information * Social-technical perspectives of digital information * Studies of human factors in networked information * Theoretical models of information interaction and organization * User behavior and modeling * Visualization of large-scale information environments * Web archiving and preservation Paper Submissions Paper authors may choose between two formats: Full papers and short = papers. Both formats will be included in the proceedings and will be = presented at the conference. Both formats will be rigorously peer = reviewed. Complete papers are required--abstracts and incomplete papers = will not be reviewed. Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an = important milestone. Short papers will highlight efforts that might be = in an early stage, but are important for the community to be made aware = of. Short papers can also present theories or systems that can be = described concisely in the limited space. Full papers must not exceed 10 pages. Short papers are limited to at = most 4 pages. All papers must be original contributions. The material = must therefore not have been previously published or be under review for = publication elsewhere.

Poster proposals should consist of a title, extended = abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed = 2 pages. Proposals must follow the conference's formatting guidelines = and are to be submitted via the conference's EasyChair submission page: = http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Djcdl2012.
