  • Digital preservation and archive
  • Interoperability issues
  • Content and knowledge management
  • Information retrieval
  • Grid architectures
  • Information seeking and use
  • Intellectual property
  • Data and information mining
  • Collection development and management
  • User communities
  • Interface and interaction design
  • Security and privacy
  • Multimedia digital libraries
  • Multi-language support
  • Digital libraries in education
  • Document genres and categorization
