The ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL 2013) is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, organizational, and social issues.  The associated Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over the world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work. Ideally, students should have written or be close to completing a thesis proposal, and be far enough away from finishing the thesis that they can make good use of feedback received during the consortium. 

The workshop will take place July 22, 2013.  During the day, each student will have 20 minutes to present their research, focusing on the main theme of their thesis, what has been achieved so far and the plans to continue their work. Another 10 to 20 minutes is reserved for discussion and feedback from the expert panel as well as other participants. Small group sessions will be held in the afternoon to facilitate more in-depth discussions.

There is no registration fee for doctoral students who are accepted for the Doctoral Consortium.

Students interested in participating in the Doctoral Consortium should submit an extended abstract describing their Digital Library research. Submissions relating to any aspect of Digital Library research, development, and evaluation are welcome, including:
