Panels at JCDL are intended to draw together communities of interest, including those with strong traditions in the digital library community as well as those involving emerging issues of interest to members of the community at large. The panels typically last about 60 - 90 minutes and include an extended round-table discussion among the selected participants and the audience members. All proposals are welcome to suggest panel formats that will engage and inform the audience and, if accepted, JCDL will work to provide appropriate facilities and setups to enable the panel techniques. Panels can be comprised of short position statements followed by discussion or can be structured as conversations that engage audience members from the outset. While topics are open, JCDL aims to secure at least one panel relating to this year's theme: Rethinking Digital Records – Exploring new perspectives, challenges, and opportunities for libraries, archives, museums, and galleries.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions should include:

  • a statement of goals or learning objectives for the panel
  • an outline for the panel topics
  • the expected audience and expected number of attendees
  • a tentative list of panelists and their bios. Please indicate whether or not the panelists have already been contacted about the panel.
  • a discussion of any engagement techniques that will require specific physical or technical requirements for the local hosts (e.g., speakers being online or hybrid online/in-person).
  • contact and biographical information about the organizers. (It is possible for organizers to serve as panelists as well but this is not a requirement.) Note organizers' prior experience with organizing any similarly themed panel or workshop.

The proposal should be no more than two pages + unlimited references in the current ACM two-column conference format available via https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template for LaTeX ("sigconf"), Overleaf (ACM Conference Proceedings Primary Article Template), and Word (Interim Template for Word).
