Conference overview

In 2025, TPDL specifically reaches out to academic researchers and practitioners in digital libraries in the light of new technological advances. Currently, the speed of technological developments in knowledge extraction, management, and dissemination is breathtaking and offers a vast variety of possible research directions. It will be central to the field that new results showcase innovative, yet also usable, reliable, and sustainable approaches. TPDL therefore particularly encourages submissions pointing to real world applications and reflecting on their methods' individual benefits, challenges, and limitations.
