Digital Libraries for Musicology (DLfM) conference presents a venue specifically for those working on, and with, Digital Library systems and content in the domain of music and musicology. DLfM welcomes contributions related to any aspect of digital libraries
and musicology, including topics related to musical archiving and retrieval, cataloguing and classification, musical databases, special collections, music encodings and representations, computational musicology, or the application of music information retrieval
(MIR) to musicology (see TOPICS, below). </span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Libre Caslon Text',serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">DLfM
alternately partners with the IAML and ISMIR conferences to encourage new collaborations and discussions surrounding prominent issues in our shared field. This installment of DLfM follows previous successful conferences in Seoul, Stellenbosch, Milan, Prague,
Montreal, The Hague, Paris, Shanghai, New York, Knoxville, and London.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Libre Caslon Text',serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">This
year DLfM will be a satellite event of the IAML conference, and given that music libraries and archives are a regular first-contact point between researchers and materials, we particularly encourage papers and posters that use library and archives technologies
and conceptualizations to broaden and enhance access to digital musicology methodologies. Scores and music documents have been digitized by libraries and archives worldwide for preservation and access, which numerous specialist technologies have been developed
for use in their analysis. At this years conference, we aim to stimulate discussions around increasing usage of research tools within cultural heritage preservation and analysis, and resulting implications therefrom. </span></p>

especially welcome posters focused on the for Musicology aspect of DLfM, considering how methodologies and results are made accessible. We also welcome posters that address the DLFM Challenge theme (see below).</span></p>

complement the main proceedings, the DLfM Challenge welcomes poster submissions introducing works-in-progress and position papers that will benefit from the broad expertise of the DLfM community. We welcome speculative work and submissions that explore particular
problems, as well as those that suggest solutions, whether they emanate from practical, theoretical/philosophical, or other conceptual frameworks.</span></p>

Greeces acclaimed fundamentality to Western culture and modes of thinking, this years challenge track draws inspiration from the Socratic method of questioning as basis for research, preservation, and teaching in the interdisciplinary contexts represented
by the DLfM and IAML communities. We thus seek challenge track proposals engaging a variety of questionsboth with and about digital libraries content, infrastructure, tools, and engagement.</span></p>

recognize that authors of academic works use a variety of tools in the research on which they report, and to prepare the report itself, ranging from simple to very sophisticated. Community opinion on the appropriateness of such tools may be varied and evolving;
AI powered language tools have in particular led to significant debate. We note that tools may generate useful and helpful results, but also errors or misleading results; therefore, knowing which tools were used, and how, is relevant to evaluating and interpreting
academic works.</span></p>
