Since its first meeting in Hong Kong (ICADL 1998) the ICADL has rotated annually among the Asia-Pacific countries, and evolved to become one of the premiere conferences in digital libraries. Topics The emergence of social media and the availability of social networking platforms offer enormous opportunity to leverage them for ³connecting with the user community² and building a strong networked community of stakeholders across the life cycle of information creation to consumption. The ICADL 2013 will focus on the tools, methods, processes and case studies of ³Social Media and Community networks¹ that advance the field of digital libraries. We solicit papers on the theme of Social Media and Community Networks for potential publication in ICADL 2013. Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following: - Community-based web or online services - Social architectures for digital libraries - Electronic publishing - Community informatics - Human factors in digital libraries - Cognitive modelling of social media and communities - Community information retrieval and browsing - Social network analysis - Data mining in communities and social media - Information integration across communities - Interoperability of multi-community information - Metadata and cataloguing in community repositories - Mobile services over social media - Social media analytics - Cross-cultural and cross-linguistic communities - Novel digital content for social environments - Technologies for social media and community networks - Personalized service and user modelling - Community networks for scientific data - Security and privacy in social media and community networks - Systems, algorithms, and models for data preservation - Healthcare Informatics - Information visualization Submission Instructions Papers submitted to ICADL 2013 should not be under review for any other conference or journal.

Full papers are expected to report on mature work, or on efforts that have reached an important milestone. They must not exceed 10 pages including references and appendices.

They can also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space. They must not exceed 4 pages in all. Posters can be used for presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner. Poster proposals must not exceed 2 pages.

Regarding Admission in Mphil ( Library &
by Rasmita Mohanty 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Dear Vikas, It seems you have qualified NET , then why are u so worried to do your M.Phil, whereas u can go for PhD directly if you are so much interested to do research. After all doing M.Phil after qualifying NET has no meanings otherthan adding qualifications to your CV. I think hardly any universities in India are providing M.Phil through distance mode any more. Rest about updating your knowledge you can update further by self learning through several means. And still if you would like to pursue M.Phil then being a Govt employee there is a provision of study leave under CAS(Career Advancement Scheme) you can avail that by taking due permission from your authorities. Message: 3 Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 16:29:35 +0530 From: vikash singh <vikash2417(a)gmail.com> To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Subject: [LIS-Forum] Regarding Admission in Mphil ( Library & Information Science). Message-ID: <CAGA5oSYvh4itZzajEEhuy+5T1EmbSmbtOC7F3mdGZp5p2n3KHg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dear All, I would like to peruse Mphil in Library and information science but as i am a government employee, it is not possible for me to take admission in Mphil in regular courses offered by Indian universities and unfortunately UGC has banned Mphil through distance mode as per the guidelines of UGC (Minimum standards and procedure for awards of Mphil/Phd degree), Regulation .2009. It is my kind request to all to please guide me that how can i continue my further studies or research work to make myself more update and compatible with my subject and to go further in my career. I am one of the great sufferer of such kind of regulations made by the UGC on a strange ground that "Research work is poor" produced by the candidates studying through distance mode. kindly guide me how can i do my Mphil (not Phd) on behalf of all such aspirants who wants to do Mphil and are not able to do it because of their job commitments or for any other reason. As every body is not so lucky and economically strong to continue their studies after Graduation or master Degree without doing work/job.
