Call for Papers The International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) brings together data and information creators, managers, users, researchers, and teachers. The IDCC14 Programme Committee invites submissions to the 9th International Digital Curation Conference that reflect our conference theme. This year the IDCC will focus on how data-driven developments are changing the world around us, recognising that the growing volume and complexity of data provides institutions, researchers, businesses and communities with a range of exciting opportunities and challenges. The Conference will explore the expanding portfolio of tools and data services, as well as the diverse skills that are essential to explore, manage, use and benefit from valuable data assets. The programme will reflect cultural, technical and economic perspectives and will illustrate the progress made in this arena in recent months. www.dcc.ac.uk/events/idcc14
