International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL), which s=
tarted in Hong Kong in 1998 and over the years traveled many countries in t=
he Asia-Pacific region, is known as a major digital library conference and =
is also ranked as "Core A" conference. Along with JCDL and TPDL, ICADL is h=
eld annually as one of the three top venues for connecting digital library,=
 computer science and library and information science communities. This yea=
r ICADL will be held online from November 30 to December 1, 2020 and accord=
ing to Japan time zone. ICADL conference will also collaborate with Asia-Pa=
cific Chapter of iSchools (AP-iSchools) in this year.

Many emerging research areas such as Digital Humanities, Open Sciences, Soc=
ial Informatics originated from digital library research over the past deca=
des, and it is essential that ICADL continues as a platform for scholars to=
 connect and develop in these emerging as well as extant areas. ICADL 2020 =
is planned as a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and discuss togethe=
r across domains for innovative digital information environment especially =
during a time of pandemic, upheavals in work, culture, health services and =
so on. An important feature of ICADL is the diversity of the Asia-Pacific r=
egion in many aspects - languages, cultures, social systems, development le=
vels and technologies. This diversity will bring new ideas and thoughts to =
the participants.

This year the conference will be held online same as many other related eve=
nts due to COVID-19 pandemics. Presentations will be then performed online =
as well as they will be also recorded and disseminated later for open acces=
s by the community. There will be no attendance fee, and only prior registr=
ation of the attendees and presenters information is required. The conferen=
ce is free for anyone to attend!

Proceedings of ICADL 2020 will be published by Springer as an LNCS volume, =
which is indexed by Scopus. In this year we invite three kinds of submissio=
ns: full research papers, short research papers and practitioners papers. N=
ote that there will be no demo or poster submissions for this year. We enco=
urage the potential authors who planned to submit posters or demos to consi=
der extending their submissions to a short paper format that has length up =
to 6 pages.

This year conference theme is "Digital Libraries at Times of Massive Societ=
al Transition - Collaborating and Connecting Community during Global Change=
".
