Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries, IRCDL 2016

Since 2005 the Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries (IRCDL) has been providing a great opportunity for researchers in the field of digital libraries to present and discuss their current research activities and to envision together further developments. The IRCDL 2016 edition, in line with the conference series tradition, was committed to preserving the emphasis on the multidisciplinary nature of the research on digital libraries that has been characterizing the conference over the years. This multidisciplinary nature ranges from computer science to humanities in the broader sense, including research areas such as archival and library information sciences, information management systems, semantic technologies, information retrieval, and new knowledge environments. This is a continued challenge for the DL field and there is the need to continue contributing toward improving the cooperation between the many com munities that share common objectives.
