Distributed and collaborative information spaces

Systems, algorithms, and models for digital preservation

Personalization in digital libraries

Information access: retrieval and browsing

Information organization

Information visualization

Multimedia information management and retrieval

Multilinguality in digital libraries

Knowledge organization and ontologies in digital libraries

Digital Humanities
