ICADL2005 is the 8th in a well-established series of annual conferences on Asian Digital Libraries, and focuses on the creation, adoption, implementation and utilization of digital libraries. It provides an international forum for sharing experiences among researchers, educators, practitioners, and policy makers from a variety of disciplines such as computer science, library and information science, archival and museum
studies, and knowledge management -- as well as many areas in the social sciences and humanities. Submissions of papers, panels, tutorials, and workshops are invited in all areas of digital libraries and related technologies, the management of knowledge in digital libraries, and the associated usability and social issues. Research, system, evaluation, policy, and position papers are all invited.
