Scope and ThemeAdvances in computing and networking technology are enabling people to interact with one another and information servers on a daily basis and on a global scale. Networked information services have become essential to the functioning of organizations and they are providing a rapidly increasing number of educational, entertainment, and merchandising functions to the average citizen. Digital content, that is, information in multimedia digital form, is an essential component of the new information age. Digital content can be used in different contexts and can be easily transformed into different formats. The initial users and creators of digital content were researchers, educators, and business people. As more traditional content such as books, magazines, and newspapers becomes digitized, the use of electronic information will spread through all sectors of society. The confluence of these
trends and technological advances has created a nascent concept that has been
given the name Digital Libraries. A digital library may be viewed as
distributed electronic collections of digital objects that cover a wide range
of fields of human endeavor including art, music, medicine, science, movies,
videos, books, product literature, newspapers, brochures and catalogs. These
collections are linked together by global networks and made available
electronically to the public in the appropriate medium such as voice, video,
images, or text. Authors, publishers, and other content providers are
strongly interested in participating in digital libraries. Government
agencies are interested in making their content available to wider sections
of the public. Proposals are being investigated for conducting electronic
commerce based on digital libraries. AimsThe aim of the journal is to advance the theory and practice of acquisition, definition, organization, management and dissemination of digital information via global networking. In particular, the journal will emphasize technical issues in digital information production, management and use, issues in high-speed networks and connectivity, inter-operability, and seamless integration of information, people, profiles, tasks and needs, security and privacy of individuals and business transactions and effective business processes in the Information Age. The journal seeks high quality research papers that present original theoretical results, algorithms, or approaches, as well as empirical and experimental studies related to the following areas: Agent technology for information
filtering, location and dissemination; targeted information delivery systems;
personal information delivery and filtering, discovery of new information and
sources of new information. Acquisition of digital information; authoring
environments for digital objects; digitization of traditional content.
The journal will be published
quarterly, with each issue consisting of approximately 80 pages in two-column
format. In addition, once a year a special issue focusing on emerging
information technologies will be published. If you have any question,
