Aims and scope
The International Journal on Digital Libraries (IJDL) examines the theory and practice of acquisition, definition, organization, management, preservation, and dissemination of digital information via global networking. It covers all aspects of digital libraries (DLs), from large-scale heterogeneous data and information management & access to linking and connectivity to security, privacy and policies, to its application, use, and evaluation.
The scope of IJDL includes, but is not limited to:
The scope of IJDL includes, but is not limited to:
