The goal of this conference is to share and disseminate information about important current issues concerning digital library research and technology. This goal will be achieved by means of research papers, invited talks, workshops, and panels involving leading experts, as well as through demonstrations of innovative and prototype technologies. The conference has the additional goal of indicating the importance of applications of digital library technologies in the public and private sectors of the economy.

Papers are solicited describing technical advances in ALL areas of digital library technology, including, but not limited to the areas of:

Agent Technology Authoring and Scripting Collaborative Research Datamining Digital Library Testbed Systems Document Models Economic Issues and Billing Mechanisms Human-Computer Interaction Intellectual Property Knowledge Representation

Knowledge Integration Meta-information Publishing Searching and Browsing Semantic and Systems Interoperability Resource Discovery and Management Standards and Protocols Telecommunications and Networking Transition from Traditional Libraries User Workspaces

In particular, ADL '98 will focus on novel applications and associated issues in the areas of:

Arts and Humanities Integrating Digital Technology into Traditional Libraries Socio-Economic Impacts

Geospatial Information Medical Application Social and Natural Sciences
