In an era of unprecedented data growth and transformative AI, JCDL continues to be the premier international forum for the multidisciplinary community of researchers and practitioners in digital libraries and allied fields. To support broad international participation while fostering live interaction, JCDL 2026 will be held as a hybrid event, combining in-person attendance with virtual participation. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their work during scheduled sessions. We invite original research that advances the state-of-the-art in managing, accessing, analyzing, and curating digital collections. JCDL 2026 welcomes contributions across computer science, information science, library science, social science, and cultural heritage domains. We particularly encourage submissions that leverage cutting-edge approaches, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, large language models, data science, knowledge graphs, generative models, recommendation systems, and information retrieval. Topics of Interest JCDL 2026 topics include, but are not limited to: Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Analytics for Digital Libraries Machine learning and deep learning methods for digital libraries Large language models, generative AI, agent-based systems, and foundation models in information access Data mining, data analytics, and visualization of library collections Knowledge graphs, semantic web, ontologies, and graph-based knowledge representation Natural language processing, information extraction, and semantic search Predictive analytics, neural retrieval, and data-driven innovation Search, Retrieval, and Recommendation Systems Information retrieval, indexing, and ranking for large-scale digital collections Personalized search, user modeling, and recommender systems Semantic search, question answering, and conversational interfaces Navigational and exploratory search, interactive retrieval, query understanding, and multimodal retrieval (text, images, audio, video) Knowledge discovery, entity-centric retrieval, and cross-lingual retrieval Human Interaction, Communities, and Collaboration User experience (UX) design, usability, and accessibility in digital library systems Collaborative and social information environments, including crowdsourcing and citizen science Social networks, social tagging, folksonomies, and community curation of content Human-centered design, interactive visualization, and user behavior analysis Community building, scholarly communication, and engagement with digital content Content, Collections, and Digital Humanities Digitization, transcription, and analysis of cultural heritage and multimedia collections Digital humanities methods, computational social science, and arts-based informatics Metadata standards, linked data, semantic annotation, and interoperability in digital collections Document genres, scholarly content management, and digital exhibits Multilingual and multicultural digital libraries; inclusion of diverse voices and resources Domain-specific applications of digital libraries Infrastructure, Preservation, and Data Management Digital preservation, long-term archiving, and sustainability of digital collections Data curation, stewardship, and repository infrastructure Linked open data, metadata integration, and semantic interoperability Cloud computing, distributed architectures, and scalable library systems Open science, open data initiatives, and reproducibility of digital library research Policy, Ethics, and Societal Impact Intellectual property, copyright, and licensing issues in digital collections Privacy, security, and trust in digital library systems and AI applications Ethics of AI, algorithmic fairness, bias, and accountability in information access Accessibility, inclusion, and equitable access to knowledge for diverse communities Social, cultural, and legal implications of digital preservation and access ## Related conferences - ICADL — International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/1473 - TPDL — International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/1424 - IRCDL — Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/2877 - SIGIR — International Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/141 - AAAI — AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/408 ## Related journals - International Journal on Digital Libraries — https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/490 - IEEE Transactions on Multimedia — https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/152 - Knowledge-Based Systems — https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/227 - Software & Systems Modeling — https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/99 - IEEE Transactions on Computers — https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/3 --- Source: Conference Partner — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/1024 (rankings reproduced from CCF / ICORE / QUALIS; data cached up to 1 hour)
