| Abstract | Welcome to the 2016 ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Conference on Digital Libraries. Our conference theme is Big Libraries, Big Data, Big Innovation. We invited submissions that proposed new access methods for DLs, developed technologies for analyzing holdings, and reported on innovative uses of DLs for discovery and exploration in science, art, and the humanities. This year's technical program will feature 27 research papers, to be presented in 7 sessions, with topics ranging from Wikipedia and Newspaper Analysis to Curation and Education to Recommendation and Prediction. We will also host two panel sessions, Issues of Dealing with Fluid Data in Digital Libraries and Preserving Born-Digital News. We received a number of high-quality paper submissions with authors from 18 countries around the world. Each paper was read and rated by at least 3 reviewers and a meta-reviewer. All papers were discussed at the Program Committee meeting held in Austin, Texas, where the final slate of accepted papers was determined. We accepted 15 full papers out of the 52 submissions (29% acceptance rate) and 12 short papers out of the 34 submissions (35% acceptance rate). In addition to papers, we accepted 39 posters and demos in two rounds of submissions; this year with an added round to allow authors who submitted earlier a "second chance" to convert longer submissions into poster form or to present later-breaking work. The 39 posters and demos will be presented on the first night of the conference (Monday) and will be preceded by the popular "Minute Madness" session. During the poster and demo session, attendees will be invited to vote for the Best Poster/Demo Award. At our Tuesday night banquet, we will present the Vannevar Bush Best Paper Award and the Best Student Paper Award. Here are the nominees for the best paper awards: "Low-cost semantic enhancement to Digital Library metadata and indexing: Simple yet effective strategies", Annika Hinze, David Bainbridge, Sally Jo Cunningham, and J. Stephen Downie"ArchiveSpark: Efficient Web Archive Access, Extraction and Derivation", Helge Holzmann, Vinay Goel, and Avishek Anand - also nominated for Best Student Paper "Digital History Meets Wikipedia: Analyzing Historical Persons in Wikipedia", Adam Jatowt, Daisuke Kawai, and Katsumi Tanaka "Comparing Published Scientific Journal Articles to Their Pre-print Versions", Martin Klein, Peter Broadwell, Sharon Farb, and Todd Grappone "Evaluating the Quality of Educational Answers in Community Question-Answering", Long Le, Chirag Shah, and Erik Choi - also nominated for Best Student Paper. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
