Call for Tutorial Proposals

The organizers of the ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 
2016 - ​Big Libraries, Big Data, Big Innovation ​- invite proposals for 
tutorials. Tutorials provide an opportunity to offer in­-depth education 
on a topic or solution relevant to research or practice in digital 
libraries. They should address a single topic in detail over either a 
half­-day or a full day. They are not intended to be venues for 
commercial product training. Experts who are interested in engaging 
members of the community who may not be familiar with a relevant set of 
technologies or concepts should plan their tutorials to cover the topic 
or solution to a level that attendees will have sufficient knowledge to 
follow and further pursue the material beyond the tutorial. Leaders of 
tutorial sessions will be expected to take an active role in publicizing 
and recruiting attendees for their sessions.

Tutorial proposals should include:
* Title of the tutorial
* Abstract (1­-2 paragraphs, to be used in conference programs)
* Brief biographical sketch and contact information for the instructor(s)
* Aims, scope and learning objectives of the tutorial
* Full description or topical outline (1­-2 pages, to be used for 
evaluation)
* Tutorial history (previous offerings of tutorial, if any)
* Format of tutorial (half­- or full­-day)
* Expected number of participants
* Target audience, including level of experience (introductory, 
intermediate, advanced)
* Keywords
* Any special audiovisual or computer needs
* Any other noteworthy comments or remarks
