Creation of a DL by the Communities and for the Communities

The ACM Digital Library (DL) serves as a repository for high-quality literature on computing literature, and provides rich interlinking relationships among authors, works, institutions, and special interest groups within the ACM community. Therefore, it is important for the digital library research community to work with ACM to identify critical existing barriers and potential important directions to enable further developments of ACM DL. The goal of this panel is to initiate a collaborative relationship between the DL community and ACM DL. The panel will include two main activities: first, several presentations about recent efforts to enhance ACM's DL for better serving academic and professional communities, and second, a series of interactive discussions engaging the conference audience in defining ways to initiate more participation among the DL community in guiding the future development of ACM DL.
