IRCDL 2013 - 9th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries

IRCDL is a yearly deadline for Italian researchers on Digital Libraries related topics. This year the focus of IRCDL 2013 is on emphasizing the multidisciplinary nature of the research on digital libraries which not only goes from humanities to computer science but also crosses among areas in the same field ranging, for example, from archival to librarian sciences or from information systems to human-computer interaction. This is a continued challenge for the DL field and there is the need to effectively bridge the gap existing between communities that share common objectives. The aim is therefore to provide the opportunity to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, developed both in the humanities and computer science fields, and to exchange experiences from on-going projects.
