Doctoral Consortium Support - JCDL 2009

该提案要求在今年在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的数字图书馆联合会议（JCDL）之前，为博士生建立一个博士联盟提供资金支持。博士联盟是博士研究生在他们的论文工作的早期阶段的研讨会。它的范围是国际性的。主要目标是帮助学生制定论文提案和后续研究计划，为他们的工作提供建设性和周到的反馈，并为未来的工作提供想法。学生们提供正式的书面论文供评审，然后在研讨会上展示他们的研究成果，研讨会在会议开始前一天举行。该联盟由数字图书馆研究和发展领域的杰出教授和经验丰富的实践者领导。领导者来自世界各地，他们在大学、研究基金会和工业界工作。JCDL博士联盟为学生提供了一个机会，与那些本来很难见面的人见面并进行智力交流，以及与广泛而多样化的人讨论他们的想法。

This proposal requests funding to support a doctoral consortium for Ph. D. students to be held just prior to the Joint Conference for Digital Libraries (JCDL) held this year in Austin, Texas. The doctoral consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students who are in the early phases of their dissertation work. It is international in scope. The primary goal is to help students develop their thesis proposal and a plan for subsequent research by providing constructive and thoughtful feedback on their work to date and ideas for future work. Students provide formal written papers for critical review, and then present their research at the workshop, which takes place the day before the conference begins. The consortium is led by prominent professors and experienced practitioners in the field of digital library research and development. Leaders come from all over the world, and work at universities, research foundations, and in industry. The JCDL doctoral consortium provides students with an opportunity to meet and interact intellectually with people who would be otherwise difficult to meet, as well as to discuss their ideas with a broad and diverse set of people.
