JCDL 18

Resilient Integration across Societies, Disciplines, and Systems -- reflects the progress of digital libraries into a mature research field. JCDL has always invited a broad range of reporting on research, development, and best practices, ranging across theories, systems, services, and applications in the field. This year',s call focused on inviting contributions from many different disciplines (also newcomers and associated disciplines) and different stakeholders (researchers and practitioners), with the intent to showcase the diverse methods and research mix in the DL community. We believe that this goal has been achieved. This year',s sessions cover topics about different object types (e.g., text, multimedia), different domains (science, archives), different digital library development stages (collection building, indexing and access, use), and different analysis approaches (citation analysis, topic modelling, linking). The call for papers attracted submissions from 29 countries on four continents. The program committee reviewed and accepted 26 full research papers (from 71 reviewed), 13 short research papers (from 38 reviewed), 4 tutorials, 5 workshops (from 7 reviewed), 45 posters and 3 demonstrations (from 68 reviewed). The doctoral consortium, which looks to assist and mentor young scholars in the investigation and research of digital libraries, received 20 submissions and accepted 11 for presentation at JCDL. This proceedings volume contains the full text of the papers, as well as abstracts of the keynotes, tutorials, workshops, panels, demonstrations, and posters. All paper submissions went through a rigorous reviewing process with three individual reviewers on each paper and a meta-review by a fourth expert from the DL community, which prepared the discussion for the program committee meeting in February 2018. With over 160 PC committee members from three continents, the program committee met virtually to discuss all submitted pa
