The ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, organizational, and social issues. The theme for JCDL 2013 is "Digital Libraries at the Crossroads," in recognition of our location (Indiana is known as the Crossroads of America) and in recognition of the changes forthcoming from the age of mass digitization, big data, and the ever changing nature of scholarly communication.
