The 2007 ACM IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries was held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from June 18-23 under the direction of Edie Rasmussen, General Chair, from the University of British Columbia. The JCDL 2007 Program Co-Chairs were Ray Larson, Shigeo Sugimoto, and Elaine Toms. The weather was wonderful, as shown in these pictures. The area offered beaches and parks from which to view mermaids and sunsets, all within easy walking distance.
The conference was equally invigorating, with a lively poster and demonstration session held the evening of June 20. One page abstracts of all JCDL 2007 posters and demonstrations can be found in the JCDL 2007 Proceedings.
The primary authors for all JCDL 2007 posters and demonstrations were invited to participate in this issue, encouraged to embellish their work with links to other resources on the web, or more detailed descriptions about the collection, project, or technique. 18 authors responded with submissions. Here you will find poster images, demonstration screen shots, links to working systems, related work and corpora, and discussion of continuing efforts. Hopefully you will find these articles an excellent front door to investigate and share work first shown at the JCDL 2007 Poster and Demonstration session.
One reminder as you navigate through these articles: many of the images are high resolution, originally intended as poster displays but scanned here for your reference and enjoyment. Even when your browser apparently is displaying the full image, you may be seeing compression artifacts as the image is scaled to fit your browser window. Depending on browser, you may see a magnifying glass cursor or a pop-up icon in the lower right corner of the image that when clicked will display the image at full resolution.
