Theme
The 21st version of the International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries holds the general theme “Part of the Machine: turning complex into scalable” and wants to create a dialogue that will address the challenge of creatively transforming these highly synthesized environments into solutions that can scale for the benefit of varied communities.
Digital libraries are complex systems that respond to the needs of multiple communities with escalating requirements. Undoubtedly the effect of big data in research and development is immense and their collection, aggregation, analysis and interpretation is currently the main trend. However, smaller developments are equally interesting in giving the example of managing highly structured and organized information resources.
In this series of conferences, the dialectic between theory and practice is intense, but always aims to produce a state of the art imagery of digital libraries, or else networked information systems that affect the life of academia, education, culture, society and industry. The components of this “machinery” are interconnected and claim the skills and knowledge of multidisciplinary researchers.

Submission Guidelines
Individual researchers and research groups are invited to submit full papers, short papers, posters and demonstrations on the topics above, but on other relevant topics as well. Their research papers should describe original, unpublished research that is not (and will not be) simultaneously under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Students on any of the above-mentioned topics are encouraged to participate to the Doctoral Consortium. A four pages paper, which will appear in the Proceedings volume, is required to be submitted through the Doctoral Consortium track.
