JCDL 2009 and Second Life

on Comments (1)

The ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL)  2009 program is up. The conference will take place June 15-19 in Austin, TX.  It looks to be a good conference, featuring two keynote speakers:  Christine Borgman, Professor & Presidential Chair in Information Studies at UCLA and Gerhard Fischer, Director of the Center for Lifelong Learning and Design and a professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

There is a new wrinkle to the Poster Session: In addition to the physical posters at the conference site, there will be a parallel Second Life session  that will allow remote participation from those who were not able to make it to the conference. Once the (virtual) poster selection is finalized, instructions on how to get to it through Second Life will be posted on the conference web site (and echoed here).
