Special issue of Journal of Digital Libraries: Usability for Digital
Libraries Second Call for papers
Following a very successful workshop at JCDL'02, presenters at the
workshop and others working in the same field are invited to submit
papers on usability of digital libraries to a special issue of the
Journal of Digital Libraries. Possible topics include:
- Empirical studies of user behaviour when interacting with libraries;
- Evaluations of existing libraries;
- Formal and semi-formal models of users, systems and interactions
that support reasoning about usability;
- Novel techniques for supporting usability (NB: reports of novel
techniques are expected to include at least a user-centred
rationale for the approach being adopted, and preferably a user-
centred evaluation of the approach);
- Social and organisational aspects that influence user acceptance
of libraries in various settings;
- Tools and techniques that support designers accommodating any or
all of the above concerns in working digital libraries.
Papers are welcomed on the above, or related, topics. All submissions
will be refereed by at least three reviewers to ensure appropriate standards
for the Journal.
Please submit papers to Dr. Ann Blandford (email: [log in to unmask]),
with a copy to George Buchanan ([log in to unmask]), in PDF or RTF
form.
Important dates:
Submission: 31st January 2003
Notification of acceptance: 31st March 2003
Camera-ready copy due: 30th April 2003
Special issue editors:
Ann Blandford UCL Interaction Centre, University College London, UK.

P.S. The editors would be much obliged if those interested in
submitting a paper to the Special Issue would inform the editors
of their proposed paper topic and authorship details on or before
21st December 2002.
