In 2018 the Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries reached its 14th edition. Since 2005, it has served as an important national forum focused on digital libraries and related technical, practical, and social issues. IRCDL encompasses the various facets of the term "digital libraries," including: new forms of information institutions; operational information systems with multimodal digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, and distributing digital content; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing. The conference continues, year after year, to address new themes and challenges that witness the long-lasting evolution and impact of digital libraries. Representatives from academia, government, industry, and others are invited to participate in this annual conference. The conference draws from a broad and multidisciplinary array of research areas including computer science, information science, librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, social sciences, and humanities. The national Program Committee comprised 32 members, with representatives of the most active Italian research groups on digital libraries.
