The annual International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries

(ICADL) series is a significant forum for digital libraries research,

providing an opportunity for researchers, educators, and practitioners to

share their experiences. The International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL),

initiated in 1998 and rotated among Asian-Pacific countries, has become one of the

premiere meetings in digital library. Since its humble beginning in Hong

Kong (ICADL 1998), the meeting has been held in 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); and Hanoi,

Vietnam (ICADL 2007).

ICADL welcomes submissions from a variety of perspectives-previous

conferences in this series have included presentations from computer

science, library and information science, knowledge management, and

areas in the social sciences and humanities. We particularly welcome submissions

associated with the ICADL 2008 theme, Digital Libraries: Universal and

Ubiquitous Access to Information. With this theme, the digital libraries

community can reflect on its progress towards supporting people in

finding and using the information that they need.

ICADL 2008 will be held in Bali Island - Indonesia, a world renowned

travel destination with exotic nature and exquisite culture.

Bali has been in many of Conde Nast Traveller's lists of tourist

destinations over the years. It specifically mentions on its website

that Bali "offers an extraordinary caliber of luxury accommodation"
