Web Science and Digital Libraries Research Group

A subset of JCDL 2019  attendees assembled together on June 6, 2019, at the Illini Union for the Web Archiving and Digital Libraries workshop (WADL 2019) . Like previous years, this year's workshop too was organized by Dr. Martin Klein , Dr. Zhiwu Xie , and Dr. Edward A. Fox . Martin inaugurated the session by welcoming everyone and introducing the schedule for the day. He observed that WADL 2019 had an equal representation from both males and females, which was not only the case with attendees, but also presenters. Web Science and Digital Libraries Research Group (WS-DL) from the Old Dominion University  was represented there by Dr. Michele C. Weigle , Alexander C. Nwala , and Sawood Alam (me) with two accepted talks.

This year's JCDL was held at the University of Illinois , in Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) between June 2 - 6. Similar to  last year's conference , we (members of WSDL ) attended paper sessions, workshops (Web Archiving and Digital Libraries) , tutorials, and panels, in which researchers from multiple disciplines presented the findings or progress of their respective research efforts. Unlike previous years , we did not feature any students or faculty in this year's JCDL doctoral consortium. We regret this and hope to resume next year. Proud to have @WebSciDL at #JCDL2019 : three profs, 2 students, and 1 alum! Excellent conf -- thanks to @profdownie and all who helped make it happen. ...
