Call for Participation - TPDL 2012: 16th European Conference on Digital Libraries
Digital Libraries (Pafos, Cyprus - 23-27 September 2012)

Over the last years, Digital Libraries have taken over a central role in our society. As the volume of
digital material grows, and its use becomes more ubiquitous, the challenge of combining our digital
futures and digital past becomes more important. Innovative methods, collaborative working and new
forms of content challenge established digital library methods. Similarly, the need for increasingly
sophisticated means for supporting the analysis of digital content by humanists and scientists,
practitioners and academics, leads to new difficulties for the infrastructure and interface of
information repositories.

The International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries is the successor of the European
Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL). TPDL/ECDL has been the
leading European scientific forum on digital libraries for 15 years. The conference continues to bring
together researchers, developers, content providers and users in the field of digital libraries. TPDL
2012 is organised by the Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts of the Cyprus University of Technology
(CUT) in collaboration with the University of Cyprus and the City University London. It will take place in
Pafos, Cyprus on 23-27 September 2012

General Chair: Panayiotis Zaphiris (Cyprus University of Technology)
Program Chair: George Buchanan (City University London)
               Edie Rasmussen (University of British Columbia)
