Free webinar - E-government

Dear ARSL members,



E-government has been a big topic of conversation this year as WebJunction has worked with state libraries to share programs and concerns around library services to the unemployed (via Project Compass). One of our Advisory Committee members, Danny Hales from Suwannee River Regional Library, introduced us to the e-government work that Florida library staff were doing – we gave them a call, and now they’re working with us to share their work more broadly with libraries around the country! I had the opportunity to meet some of these folks in person at a recent WJ event – amazing passion and commitment to assisting library patrons with better access to gov resources. An inspiration! I hope you can join us next Wednesday 6/3 for a free online webinar where they’ll share their work in more detail – full description copied below.



http://evanced.info/webjunction/evanced/eventsignup.asp?ID=1649



Knowing how to find and use E-government resources is critical for patrons who need access to information related to unemployment, food stamps, Medicaid, tax forms, health and housing; and many people are asking their public library to help them navigate this information. To meet these new and increased demands on frontline staff, libraries in Florida are collaborating with government agencies and social service organizations to provide the best service possible to patrons in their state. Join us for this webinar with representatives of Florida libraries, who will share their strategies used to educate both the public and frontline staff on how to access this information and their experiences building partnerships with other agencies in their communities to respond to workforce development needs. Presenters include Nancy Fredericks, E-Government Librarian, Pasco County Public Library Cooperative; Karen Clinton Brown, Library Program Specialist, State Library and Archives of Florida; Sol M. Hirsch, Library Director and Otto C. Pleil, Reference Librarian from the Alachua County Library District.”



Hope to see some of you there next Thursday/

CALL FOR PAPERS--SPECIAL SECTION: DIGITAL LIBRARY AND DIGITAL CURATION CURRICULA (Winter 2011)

Abstract Submission Deadline: April 30, 2010
Guest Editor: Jeffrey Pomerantz, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

http://jelis.org/category/51-2010/

Introduction

Enormous quantities of data are constantly being produced and stored electronically: the volume of born-digital data far outstrips print, mass digitization efforts are being launched by institutions of all kinds, and personal devices that can capture images and video are commonplace. In this new environment, it is becoming increasingly clear that libraries, archives, and museums – indeed, cultural heritage institutions of all types – face shared challenges. In response, these disciplines – library and information science, archival studies, and museum studies – increasingly share overlapping educational goals. Only in the past five years or so, however, have significant efforts been launched in these programs to develop curricula to identify and meet these educational goals. We encourage researchers and educators in any of these or related disciplines to discuss the development, implementation, or evaluation of entire curricula, individual courses, or professional development programs to meet these educational goals, in the Winter 2011 issue of JELIS (Volume 52, no. 1).

Submission Procedure

Authors are invited to submit an abstract for the paper on or before April 30, 2010. Both research and conceptual papers are welcome. Abstracts should not exceed 150 words, and should succinctly state the scope, objectives, and conclusions of the paper, as well as methodology and results, as appropriate. The guest editor will review the abstracts and provide suggestions and feedback by May 15, 2010. The deadline for submission of full manuscripts will be June 30, 2010. The JELIS submission guidelines are available at http://jelis.org/for-authors/. Full manuscripts will be reviewed using the double-blind review process. Authors will be notified of the referees’ decisions by September 1, 2010, and final revisions will be due October 1, 2010. Selected papers will be published in the Volume 52, no. 1 in Winter 2011.

Inquiries and abstract submissions can be forwarded electronically to:

CFP - International Symposium on Peer Reviewing

This is the purpose of The 2nd International Symposium on Peer Reviewing: ISPR 2010 (http://www.sysconfer.org/ispr) being organized in the context of The SUMMER 4th International Conference on Knowledge Generation, Communication and Management: KGCM 2010 (http://www.sysconfer.org/kgcm), which will be held on June 29th - July 2nd, in Orlando, Florida, USA.

=======================================================
Deadlines for ISPR 2010
May 4th, 2010, for papers/abstracts submissions and Invited Sessions Proposals
May 18th, 2010: Authors Notification
June 1st, 2010: Camera ready, final version.
=======================================================

ISPR 2010 Organizing Committee is planning to include in the symposium program 1) sessions with formal presentations, and/or 2) informal conversational sessions, and/or 3) hybrid sessions, which will have formal presentations first and informal conversations later.

Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted. Both kinds of submissions will have the same reviewing process and the accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings.

Pre-Conference and Post-conference Virtual sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so that sessions papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before and after the conference. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions.

All Submitted papers/abstracts will go through three reviewing processes: (1) double-blind (at least three reviewers), (2) non-blind, and (3) participative peer reviews. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those papers/abstracts that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference, as well as those to be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal.

Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers/abstracts, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers.

A special issue of International Journal of Knowledge and Web Intelligence


Digital libraries focus on storing and organizing digital objects according to various scopes and facets. Intelligent access to these objects are provided through metadata/semantic-based or content-based search engine according to users’ requirements. Semantic services enhance the organization of digital objects to facilitate their access, the exploitation of their structure and meaning for both humans and machines. Semantic digital libraries require database management systems for the handling of structured data, taking into consideration the models used to represent semantics. To foster the realization of the semantic digital library, metadata models, ontology models, and query languages have been combined to realize digital library services.

However, technologies for semantic digital libraries such as database engines, RDF data store, topic maps servers, SPARQL queries, and RDFS/OWL ontologies and folksonomies often appear to be immature. Solid semantic management layer concepts, architectures, and tools are important to everyone in the semantic digital library ecosystem, and creating them requires a strong community, with a critical mass of involvement. This special issue focuses on two main issues:

* the evolution of semantic digital libraries as a knowledge environment with digital library services and
* semantic digital libraries for improving user experiences.

The goal of the special issue is to bring out the best practices, current research and promising trends in the semantic digital library.

Papers may address issues along general themes, which include but are not limited to the following:

* Semantic digital library information visualisation
* Multilingual multimedia content management
* Search, retrieval and browsing interfaces to all forms of multilingual digital content
* Managing collaborative semantic digital library collections
* Cultural heritage semantic preservation
* Natural interaction of users with the semantic digital library
* Case studies of user needs and behaviours, and user experiences
* Novel semantic digital library content and use environments
* Semantic digital library open access publishing and copyright management
* Social networking and semantic digital library Systems

CFP - Public Libraries and Resilient Cities: Creating Sustainable and Equitable Places

Call for Papers: Public Libraries and Resilient Cities: Creating Sustainable and Equitable Places

Edited by Michael Dudley

Public libraries are at the forefront of a number of significant and pressing urban and environmental sustainability issues, and are evolving a leadership role in addressing these through sustainable urban design practices, contributions to economic regeneration and a commitment to social equity. From the economic renewal potential of library development projects, to the provision of public space in a privatizing world, to services for the homeless and crisis management during urban disasters, public libraries are a keystone public institution for any sustainable community. While there is a long tradition in the library literature arguing for the public library’s role in addressing urban social problems, the gravity of our contemporary social, environmental and economic crises constitutes a renewed and urgent imperative for such an engagement.

The book Public Libraries and Resilient Cities will explore the vital role that public libraries can play in the promotion of ecologically, economically and socially sustainable communities in challenging times. It will introduce librarians and library administrators to key urban planning concepts as well as current thinking on sustainability issues, and share success stories in urban resilience from library practitioners.

Ultimately, the book will outline how public libraries can contribute to “placemaking,” or the creation and nurturing of vital and unique communities that can provide intergenerational equity for their residents.

This project will be an ALA Editions release with expected publication in late 2011 or early 2012.
Paper themes/topics will include:

The Public Library and Socially Sustainable Communities
How public libraries have been dealing with unfolding social equity issues in economically trying times, and within the context of an increasingly diverse urban society e.g., homelessness, multicultural constituencies, ensuring free speech, serving the needs of inner city users, newcomers, urban Indigenous peoples, etc.

The Public Library and Ecologically Sustainable Communities
How the design, location, infrastructure, programming, collection, administration and procurement decisions made by public libraries can promote environmental sustainability, both internally and within the community.

The Public Library and Economically Sustainable Communities
The potential for public libraries to contribute to economic development, neighborhood revitalization and local economic resilience will be explored in this chapter. This will include consideration of both downtown library building development projects and ongoing community-based activities in neighborhood branches.

The Public Library and Crisis
Extreme weather, energy depletion, and economic meltdowns are transforming -- or are threatening to transform -- our urban society. How have public libraries begun preparing? How should they respond in the future? What constraints will libraries face and how might these be overcome?

The Public Library and Placemaking
How can public libraries contribute to urban regeneration and the making of genuine, sustainable urban “places”? What are the current public engagement practices in library planning? How can public librarians contribute to addressing urban quality of life and environmental issues? How can librarians and city planners collaborate on addressing these issues?

Guidelines:
I am seeking submissions between 1,500 – 2,500 words from librarians, library administrators, public administrators or city planners highlighting recent experiences / best practices / partnerships related to these issues in the public library context. Essays should be aimed at practitioners and emphasize practical considerations and solutions, rather than theoretical explorations. Please submit a statement of interest or abstract by May 31st, 2010.

Final paper submission deadline: January 7th, 2011.

Please contact me at m(dot)dudley(at)uwinnipeg(dot)ca

CFP - Libraries and Student Affairs in Collaboration

Environments for Student Growth and Development: Libraries and Student Affairs in Collaboration

Over the past few years, awareness of the importance of outside-of-class learning has continued to increase, as well as concern for whole student development and integrative learning opportunities. The emergence of learning commons and other collaborative ventures demonstrates the power of partnering to address student learning and development.

Partnerships between libraries and academic departments or academic services are often treated in the literature. This book fills a gap by exploring how librarians and student affairs professionals can expand their reach through collaborative programming and other joint efforts.
The book will explore the opportunities to create stronger campus environments for student growth and development inherent library and student affairs collaborations.

This book will include two parts. The first part will be a critical introduction and three chapters providing an overview of the student affairs/library collaboration. The second half will be devoted to case studies of successful collaborations. We seek submissions from writing partners/teams for the second half of the book. Writing partners/teams will be composed of at least one student affairs professional and at least one librarian. All authors should be able to speak equally and with experience about their collaboration. We hope that the chapters in this book will demonstrate the potential for shared vision that can be used to further the value inherent in such collaborative approaches. Our goal is a book with appeal to student affairs professionals and librarians.

Proposals for this book should examine both the practical and theoretical aspects of the collaboration. These include (but are not limited to)

* student development philosophies and their role
* creation and shaping of best practices through collaboration
* assessment models that have emerged in the collaboration
* involvement of students as program leaders
* establishing boundaries and sharing responsibilities
* the theoretical and historical underpinnings for the collaboration
* campus politics and strategic positioning for collaboration
* staffing models
* power relationships
* evidence of effectiveness and specific program outcomes

If you are interested in contributing to this book, please send your proposal to the editors, Melissa Wong (mawong@illinois.edu) and Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe (ljanicke@illinois.edu), by June 1, 2010.

Your proposal should include

Free webinars - data curation

The Greater Western Library Alliance is providing a series of three free webinars on the topic of data curation. The webinars will be conducted using “Wimba” webinar software. No pre-registration is
necessary. The webinar login address is: http://67.202.209.36/index.html.pl?launcherlink=1&credential_2=&channel=GWLA_DCC&presenterOnLoad=0&clear_login_cookie=1.

At the login page, select “Participant”. If you haven’t accessed Wimba before, you’ll need to run the “Wizard” setup (even if you have entered Wimba before, it’s recommend to run the “Wizard”). It takes (1
– 4) minutes for the software to confirm the participant’s system compatibility, so allow time accordingly; we recommended that you login at least ten minutes prior to the presentation. The “Wizard” has (5) checks to walk through; all that’s required is to press ‘next’ (there is an ‘audio test’). In order to use the audio function,
you’ll need a headset, or a computer with both ‘mic’ and ‘speakers’.


Each of the webinars will be recorded. After each session, a URL will be posted to mailing lists where the series was announced.

Presentation Details:

1. Big Picture Overview of Data Curation, Thursday May 6, 12-1:30 EST

Over this decade, increasingly more people are viewing research data as an asset requiring proper management and long-term stewardship. This outlook is a major cultural shift from the perspective that
knowledge outputs such as journal articles and books are the sole treasures of research. One consequence is that librarians in research institutions are now having to consider how to incorporate data as a library resource. Chuck Humphrey’s presentation provides an introduction to basic data concepts relevant to librarians. Topics to be discussed include how to differentiate research data from everything else that is digital, how lifecycle data management helps us better deal with data as a resource, how collections remain
important in managing data and how levels of service can be defined for data.

It is important to understand data curation within the larger scholarly communication context, and then to identify opportunities and capacities where librarians can and should find a role to engage.

Given a definition that ranges from managing to archiving to preserving data along the data lifecycle, there are various points where data curation services can be pursued by librarians: at a point of research initiation (articulating the problem and pursuing funding), at a point of recent or ongoing research (organization
within the lab), at a point where a larger community needs to be engaged (broadening access), and at a point where time scale is important (archiving and preserving in a repository). D. Scott Brant will discuss the role of librarians in pursuing and engaging in these data curation activities with specific examples presented.

Speakers:

Charles (Chuck) Humphrey has been the Head of the Data Library at the University of Alberta since 1992 and began a data library service in 1980 in the University’s academic computing centre while employed as a
statistical consultant. In 2000, Mr. Humphrey also assumed responsibility for the implementation and management of a Statistics Canada Research Data Centre (RDC) at the University of Alberta, which is a data enclave for Statistics Canada confidential data. As the Academic Director of the RDC, he oversees the operations of this facility and serves on the RDC National Coordinating Committee.

D. Scott Brandt is a professor of library science and associate dean for research in the Purdue University Libraries. Primarily he helps guide the Libraries’ research and facilitates participation in sponsored funding (e.g., NSF, IMLS, local seed grants)—-since April 2005, Purdue librarians have participated in more than 70 grant applications with more than 80 faculty across campus. As acting director of the Distributed Data Curation Center, he overseesinvestigation into curation issues of organizing, discovery and access to, and archiving research data in complex environments. Prior to arriving at Purdue in 1993 he was associate head of the Science and Engineering Libraries at MIT, and is the author of Teaching Technology (2002) and Unix in Libraries (1991).

2. What kinds of data are libraries managing, how are they doing it and with what staff?, Tuesday June 1, 12-1:30 EST

After giving a brief background summary of what the MIT Libraries are doing, Anne Graham and Amy Stout will discuss issues surrounding starting a data management program and provide an overview of what
libraries need to know before starting a data management program. They will discuss the following topics from a subject librarian perspective:

* How does your library system operate?
* Are you better off starting your program from the top-down or using a grassroots approach?
* Making contact with your faculty and finding out what they need
* Learning about data and e-science
* Developing relationships across departments that will facilitate your offering of services to people outside the library system

Sayeed Choudhury will discuss early experiences related to the Data Conservancy, one of two current awards through NSF’s DataNet program. Choudhury will speak specifically about the types of data being
considered for the early prototype development, the initial technical architecture, and the new duties or skill sets that are being developed as a result of these activities.

Speakers:

Anne Graham is Civil and Environmental Engineering Librarian and GIS Liaison and Amy Stout is Computer Science Librarian at MIT Libraries. Both Anne and Amy have been working on starting data services at the
MIT Libraries. This includes educating faculty, students and lab managers about “best practices” for data management as well as initiating projects that encourage faculty to look to the libraries for the stewardship of their data.

G. Sayeed Choudhury is the Associate Dean for Library Digital Programs and Hodson Director of the Digital Research and Curation Center at the Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University. He is also the Director of Operations for the Institute of Data Intensive Engineering and Science (IDIES) based at Johns Hopkins. He is a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins, a Research Fellow at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a Senior Presidential Fellow with the Council on Library and Information Resources. He is a member of the ICPSR Council and DuraSpace Board.

3. What is happening at GWLA Libraries and what are next steps for GWLA?, Thursday July 1, 12-1:30 EST

Presenters from several GWLA libraries will provide 5 minute presentations on what is happening at their institutions, at what stage they are at with data curation, and what they see as a possible GWLA role. Presentations will be followed by discussion about possible next steps for GWLA and potential areas of collaboration among GWLA libraries regarding data curation.

Speakers: GWLA members involved in data curation [an OSU wiki will be updated as GWLA speakers are confirmed for the 3rd webinar: http://wiki.library.oregonstate.edu/confluence/x/0wV9|../x/0wV9

CFP - Journal of Information Technology Research

Journal of Information Technology Research (JITR). Special Issue on "Medical Diagnosis Systems"
from Dolores' List of CFPs

Call For Papers - Special Issue



Submission Due Date: June 30, 2010



Special Issue On Medical Diagnosis Systems



Guest Editors:



- Alejandro Rodríguez-González (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain)

- Miguel Angel Mayer (Barcelona Medical Association, Spain)



Introduction



From the early 1970s, several diagnosis systems were introduced to assist physicians in the diagnosis process. Most of these systems were focused on concrete artificial intelligence techniques related to statistics and probabilistic-like Bayesian networks, probabilistic reasoning, and so forth. Today, there are several new artificial intelligence techniques that can be fully exploited to help the research and development of clinical decision support systems oriented to diagnosis. This diagnosis process can be of several types depending on the scope that appears to be covered: from the diagnosis of very concrete pathologies to the diagnosis of the most common diseases.



Objective of the Special Issue



The idea of this special issue is to invite researchers in the eHealth field, as well as those related to the development of diagnosis systems in medicine covering novel techniques of diagnosis, to submit their work. This special issue aims to receive research papers containing accurate evaluation, data validation, and innovation about the techniques used (new techniques, mixed techniques, etc.). Special attention will be paid to those papers where the research discusses the development of diagnosis systems to help general practitioners or to those medicine specialties that most literature fails cover.



Recommended Topics



Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following:



- Computer-aided diagnosis

- Evaluation methods of diagnosis systems

- Evaluation and/or comparative of actual diagnosis systems

- Hand-held computing applications in medicine

- Knowledge-based & decision support systems

- Medical databases & information systems

- Multimedia biomedical databases

- Signal and image processing in medicine

- Telemedicine systems

- Use of AI techniques to the generation of multidisciplinary diagnosis systems



Submission



Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on Medical Diagnosis Systems on or before June 30, 2010. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. INTERESTED AUTHORS SHOULD CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/Files/AuthorEditor/guidelinessubmission.pdf, submitted papers will be reviewed on a double-blind, peer review basis. Papers must follow APA style for reference citations.



All submissions and inquiries should be directed to the attention of:

CFP - International Students and Academic Libraries

International Students and Academic Libraries: Initiatives for Success
from Dolores' List of CFPs

CALL FOR CASE STUDIES/BOOK CHAPTER PROPOSALS

Proposal Submission Deadline: June 30, 2010
Editors: Pamela Jackson and Patrick Sullivan, San Diego State University
Publisher: Association of College & Research Libraries

Have you developed programs or services for international students at your
academic library? If so, the editors of this upcoming volume to be published
by the Association of College & Research Libraries would like the hear from
you! We are looking for approximately 10-15 case studies to illustrate
successful initiatives that support the library, research, and information
literacy needs of international students.

Introduction: According to data in the Open Doors 2008 report, the number of
international students studying on U.S. campuses is at an all-time high.
Approximately 7% of U.S. college students are international students (national
average), while on some campuses, as many as 22% of the total student body is
international. These students bring with them special skills and insights, but
they also present unique challenges for our educational systems. Libraries can
play a critical role in connecting these foreign students, not only to our
universities and colleges, but also to the information literacy skills they
will need to succeed. Many students have not previously had librarians
available to assist with their research. It is therefore critical that we
clarify the role that librarians can play in their educational careers.

Objective of the Book: This book will present case studies of academic library
initiatives that support the library, research, and information literacy needs
of international students. The target audience of this book will be other
librarians, like you, who have a desire to more effectively reach out to
international students on their campuses. The case studies will offer varied
perspectives and replicable ideas about how to encourage international students
to use the library and break down barriers to their success.

Suggested Topics include, but are not limited to the following:
• Library Orientation to International Students
• Instruction/Information Literacy to International Students
• Outreach Programs Targeted to International Students
• Library Collections for International Students
• Reference Services for International Students
• Programs for International Graduate Students
• Web Resources and Distance Education for International Students
• Marketing Library Resources to International Students
• Multilingualism in Library Instruction and Outreach
• Collaboration with International Student Organizations
• Celebrating Diversity for the Benefit of International and National
Students in the Library
• Assessment of International Student Learning

Submission Procedure: Proposal Submission Deadline is June 30, 2010. Academic
library professionals are invited to submit their proposal of not more than 2
pages. Your proposal should include: 1) the names and contact information for
all authors (identify a main contact); 2) a clear description of the academic
library initiative for international students you are proposing for the case
study; 3) a brief description of your academic institution; and, 4) information
about the author(s) showing his/her qualifications for writing the case
study/chapter. Submissions should be in Microsoft Word. Authors of accepted
proposals will be notified by July 31, 2011. Accepted authors will have until
January 31, 2011 to prepare their case study chapters of approximately
4000-6000 words. All submitted chapters will be reviewed by the editors.
Guidelines for preparing chapters will be sent upon acceptance of proposals.
This book is tentatively scheduled for publishing in August 2011 by the
Association of College and Research Libraries, however, we are hoping for early
completion in time for ALA in June 2011. For additional information regarding
the publisher, please visit www.ala.org/acrl/.

fully understand the style of this book, please take a look at:
Information Literacy Programs in the Digital Age: Educating College and
University Students Online (Alice Daugherty and Michael F. Russo, editors) or
