Dear Professional Friends, I am happy to announce the return of the internationally well-known digital library conferenceICADL to India after 12 years! The domain of digital libraries is at the intersection of many disciplines and fields, including data management, information retrieval, library sciences, document management, information systems, the web, image processing, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, archiving, and digital curation. Three significant and vibrant international conferences have grown out of this international digital library movement the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL, http://www.jcdl.org <http://www.jcdl.org/> ) in the US, the 2005 European Conference on Digital Libraries (ECDL, http://www.ecdl2005.org <http://www.ecdl2005.org/> ), and the International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL, http://www.icadl.org <http://www.icadl.org/> ). The three conferences help create stimulating and collegial forums for reporting significant digital library research and development activities. The International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL), which began in 1998 and has rotated annually among the Asian-Pacific countries, has become one of the premiere meetings in digital libraries. Since its humble beginnings in Hong Kong (ICADL 1998), the meeting has been held in the following locations: Taipei, Taiwan (ICADL 1999) Seoul, Korea (ICADL 2000) Bangalore, India (ICADL 2001) Singapore (ICADL 2002) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (ICADL 2003) Shanghai, China (ICADL 2004) Bangkok, Thailand (ICADL 2005) Kyoto, Japan (ICADL 2006) Hanoi, Vietnam (ICADL 2007) Bali, Indonesia (ICADL 2008) Gold Coast, Australia (ICADL 2010, with JCDL) Beijing, China (ICADL 2011) Taipei, Taiwan (ICADL 2012) ICADL 2001 helped usher India into the international digital library arena and spurred the growth of the domain in India. The theme of ICADL 2013 is ³Social Media and Community Networks³ ICADL series of conferences attract a truly international audience and speakers. ICADL 2013 offers a wonderful opportunity to listen to international experts and practitioners who are doing cutting edge research work in this domain. For more information: http://www.icadl2013.org.in <http://www.icadl2013.org.in/> Come and join us and be part of this truly international digital library meeting to learn, share, and contribute.

Dear Hariharan Sir, Conference theme is very attractive and my friends talked with interest. But they are very disappointed about the high registration fee, Rs. 3000/- per candidate. Please reduce the registration fee of the conference. If so, more people can attend the conference. Please consider this request serious. Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.
