Thessaloniki Concert Hall, Thessaloniki, Greece, 02 July 2026
In association with the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives, and Documentation Centres (IAML).
The Digital Libraries for Musicology (DLfM) conference is the premiere venue for scholars engaging with digital libraries in the domain of music and musicology. It provides a forum for musicians, musicologists, librarians, and technologists to share findings and expertise.
Please note that DLfM’s review process for submissions to proceedings operates on full and short papers, not on abstracts. See ‘Submissions’ below for further details on format.
LOCATION, COLLABORATION
In 2021, 2022, and 2024, we had successful and productive collaborations with the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives, and Documentation Centres (IAML). We are thus delighted to come back to IAML in 2026.
DLfM 2026 will take place on July 02, 2026, at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall in Thessaloniki, Greece, within the wider IAML conference running from 28 June - 03 July 2026.
CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS
A call for papers will be published in due course. Submission deadline 13 January 2026.
Previous years' DLfM proceedings have been published in the ACM Digital Library through ACM ICPS. Arrangements for the DLfM 2026 Proceedings are being discussed and will be confirmed in the 2nd Call for Papers. We are aware of a growing number of institutional and funder requirements for Open Access publication, and recognise that authors will need to comply with any policies which apply to them.
The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.
