Fellowship - Conservation
Conservation Fellowship at Northwestern University Library
Program Description
Northwestern University Library is offering an advanced post-graduate
conservation fellowship for one year, with the possibility of funding for a
second year. The conservation fellowship allows a conservation professional
the opportunity to work on diverse special collections, including rare
books, paper, and parchment documents. The conservation fellowship includes
a research component ideally leading to publication or presentation at a
national conference. The fellowship also offers the unique opportunity to
visit and interact with conservators at other Chicago-area conservation labs
that work with a broad range of material including paintings, works of art
on paper, objects, textiles, and natural history specimens.
The conservation fellowship provides practical experience in a busy academic
library conservation lab balancing treatment responsibilities with
professional research activities. The Conservation Fellow will develop an
understanding of the functions and responsibilities of a research library
conservation lab working with special collections materials. There will be
the opportunity to gain bench experience, develop skills in treatment
decision making, and participate in the management of a complex workflow. In
addition, Northwestern's unique holdings allow the possibility to gain
experience in assessing and evaluating a variety of library and museum
objects including paintings, ethnographic objects, textiles, and realia.
Research topics will be developed in consultation with the Special
Collections Conservator at the beginning of the fellowship and could include
treatment techniques, materials identification, or historical studies. In
addition, there is the potential for project work including needs assessment
surveys and other preventive preservation activities.
Institution Description
Northwestern University, established in 1851, is one of the leading private
research universities in the United States with an enrollment of
approximately 15,800 students. The University is located on the shores of
Lake Michigan in Evanston and Chicago, Illinois. Northwestern University's
libraries hold over 5 million volumes. With collections of international
standing in Music, Transportation, and African Studies, Northwestern's
libraries have also been at the forefront of innovation in library
technology and advanced user services. One of the top-ranked universities
in the country, Northwestern University combines innovative teaching and
pioneering research in a highly collaborative environment that transcends
traditional academic boundaries. Northwestern provides students, faculty and
staff with exceptional opportunities for intellectual, personal, and
professional growth.
Established in 1984, the Preservation Department oversees all aspects of the
care, treatment and reformatting of the collections on the Evanston and
Chicago campuses. The Preservation Department consists of 12 full-time staff
members responsible for a broad range of preservation activities, including
shelf preparation, vendor-based operations such as binding and mass
deacidification, preventive programs such as pest management and
environmental monitoring, and the conservation treatment of both general and
special collections materials. Recent special collections conservation
projects have included the treatment and rehousing of 14th century parchment
documents, lining replacement on a mid 19th century oversize wall map, and
the repair of a 17th century vellum over wooden boards binding. Upcoming
projects will include repair of a collection of early 19th century
scrapbooks, treatment of a large collection of Arabic manuscripts, and the
repair and rehousing of a collection of William Blake prints.
Position Description
Working under the supervision of the Special Collections Conservator, the
Conservation Fellow evaluates and treats special collections materials.

Program Description
Northwestern University Library is offering an advanced post-graduate
conservation fellowship for one year, with the possibility of funding for a
second year. The conservation fellowship allows a conservation professional
the opportunity to work on diverse special collections, including rare
books, paper, and parchment documents. The conservation fellowship includes
a research component ideally leading to publication or presentation at a
national conference. The fellowship also offers the unique opportunity to
visit and interact with conservators at other Chicago-area conservation labs
that work with a broad range of material including paintings, works of art
on paper, objects, textiles, and natural history specimens.
The conservation fellowship provides practical experience in a busy academic
library conservation lab balancing treatment responsibilities with
professional research activities. The Conservation Fellow will develop an
understanding of the functions and responsibilities of a research library
conservation lab working with special collections materials. There will be
the opportunity to gain bench experience, develop skills in treatment
decision making, and participate in the management of a complex workflow. In
addition, Northwestern's unique holdings allow the possibility to gain
experience in assessing and evaluating a variety of library and museum
objects including paintings, ethnographic objects, textiles, and realia.
Research topics will be developed in consultation with the Special
Collections Conservator at the beginning of the fellowship and could include
treatment techniques, materials identification, or historical studies. In
addition, there is the potential for project work including needs assessment
surveys and other preventive preservation activities.
Institution Description
Northwestern University, established in 1851, is one of the leading private
research universities in the United States with an enrollment of
approximately 15,800 students. The University is located on the shores of
Lake Michigan in Evanston and Chicago, Illinois. Northwestern University's
libraries hold over 5 million volumes. With collections of international
standing in Music, Transportation, and African Studies, Northwestern's
libraries have also been at the forefront of innovation in library
technology and advanced user services. One of the top-ranked universities
in the country, Northwestern University combines innovative teaching and
pioneering research in a highly collaborative environment that transcends
traditional academic boundaries. Northwestern provides students, faculty and
staff with exceptional opportunities for intellectual, personal, and
professional growth.
Established in 1984, the Preservation Department oversees all aspects of the
care, treatment and reformatting of the collections on the Evanston and
Chicago campuses. The Preservation Department consists of 12 full-time staff
members responsible for a broad range of preservation activities, including
shelf preparation, vendor-based operations such as binding and mass
deacidification, preventive programs such as pest management and
environmental monitoring, and the conservation treatment of both general and
special collections materials. Recent special collections conservation
projects have included the treatment and rehousing of 14th century parchment
documents, lining replacement on a mid 19th century oversize wall map, and
the repair of a 17th century vellum over wooden boards binding. Upcoming
projects will include repair of a collection of early 19th century
scrapbooks, treatment of a large collection of Arabic manuscripts, and the
repair and rehousing of a collection of William Blake prints.

http://www.librarystudentjournal.org/
Library Student Journal (LSJ) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal. Library Student Journal seeks to publish the best student papers from Library and Information Science (LIS) students worldwide and to serve as a forum for discussion of LIS education and training, career paths and future trends. Submissions may cover a wide range of topics, but should always relate to and advance the discussion of LIS topics.. LSJ is now accepting manuscripts submitted to the following sections of the journal:
Articles
Peer-reviewed scholarly papers based on original research or literature surveys that advance the subject with original ideas. Articles explore the topic in greater depth than Essays and add original ideas to the existing literature.
Essays
Papers of an informational or personal nature. Essays are reviewed by the editors alone. An Essay is less formal in tone than an Article and may, among other things: share personal experience in the LIS field, give an overview of an LIS issue of interest, be a work of fiction, and/or be lighthearted or humorous.
Reviews
Unsolicited reviews of books currently being used in an LIS course, recently published LIS books, or websites of interest to LIS students; also, solicited reviews of newly published and forthcoming LIS books. See the Reviewer Guidelines below for more details and see the volunteer page for information on applying to be a book reviewer.
Editorials
Opinion pieces on a topic of current concern to the LIS field. Editorials may be solicited or unsolicited.
Please refer to the submission guidelines before submitting; improperly submitted manuscripts may be returned without consideration.

CFP - Journal of Library Metadata
CFP - Journal of Library Metadata
The Journal of Library Metadata, a peer-reviewed journal, marks the growing importance of metadata in libraries and other institutions. As libraries collect, produce, distribute and publish more information than ever before, the metadata that describes these resources becomes more critical for digital resource management and discovery. The Journal of Library Metadata is the exclusive forum for the latest research, innovations, news, and expert views about all aspects of metadata applications and about the role of metadata in information retrieval. The journal is published quarterly by Routledge/Taylor & Francis.
The journal covers all aspects of metadata applications including (but not limited to):
* Application Profiles
* Best practices
* Controlled vocabularies
* Crosswalking of metadata and interoperability
* Digital libraries and metadata
* Federated repositories
* Federated searching
* Folksonomies
* Individual metadata schemes
* Institutional repository metadata
* Metadata content standards
* Metadata harvesting
* Ontologies
* Preservation metadata
* Resource Description Framework
* Resource discovery and metadata
* Search engines and metadata
* SKOS
* Tagging and tag clouds
* Topic maps
* Visual image and moving image metadata
The journal publishes three categories of articles: standard, peer-reviewed articles; shorter, non-peer reviewed articles and short viewpoint articles.
* Peer-reviewed articles (original research): 10-50 double-spaced pages.
* Short, non-peer-reviewed articles, often practical in nature: 500-2,000 words with limited citations.
* Upbeat viewpoint articles giving the author’s opinion on a timely topic related to metadata applications: 500-2,000 words with or without citations. Focus should be on improvements or solutions instead of negative aspects of an existing system, standard or service.

CFP: Teaching Information Ethics
CFP: Teaching Information Ethics
Call for Papers for Vol. 14 (02/2010)
Deadline for extended abstracts: June 15, 2010
Notification of acceptance to authors: July 15, 2010
Deadline for full articles: September 15, 2010
Deadline for revised articles: November 30, 2010
Publication: December 2010
As a field, information ethics is essentially cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural. Information ethics itself, as we understand it, "deals with ethical questions in the field of digital production and reproduction of phenomena and processes such as the exchange, combination and use of information." As such, disciplines as diverse as computer science to business to library science and communications, offer courses in information ethics at the higher education level.
Increasingly, too, it is common for information ethics to be taught to primary school students, as in Seoul, Korea´s "netiquette program." Teaching information ethics includes coverage of such topics as responsible use of computing, privacy, and intellectual property, among many others. This special issue is dedicated to exploring and expanding the knowledge base around formal practices, theories, and methods for teaching information ethics. We seek a wide range of submissions including papers focusing on such topics as teaching IE in higher education, particularly universities. Who is developing such courses, and from what perspectives? What sorts of philosophical frameworks provide the foundations for such courses? What is being taught and how? What specific issues and challenges arise from teaching IE in different cultures? How is moral reflection taught? Papers may present theoretical approaches to information ethics pedagogy, practical case studies of successful techniques and methods used in classrooms across the world and across educational levels, or other frameworks. We hope to have submissions which detail innovative approaches that can be employed in online or traditional classroom settings. A goal of this issue will be to develop a shared knowledge base and portal where course information and techniques can be shared for the betterment of IE pedagogy. Submissions should conform to the IRIE style sheet.

Abstracts and SubmissionsPotential authors are requested to provide an extended abstract (max. 1,500 words) by June 15, 2010. Abstracts may be submitted in the native language of the author though an English translation of this abstract must be included if the chosen language is not English. IRIE will publish articles in English, French, German, Portuguese or Spanish. The author(s) of contributions in French, Portu-guese, or Spanish must nominate at least two potential peer reviewers. Abstracts will be evaluated by the guest editors. The authors will be informed of acceptance or rejection by July 15, 2010. Deadline for the final article (usually ca. 3,000 words or 20,000 characters including blanks) is September 15, 2010. All submissions will be subject to peer review. Therefore the acceptance of an extended abstract does not imply the publication of the final text by December, 2010, unless the article has passed the peer review and revisions (if required) have been included in the text by November 31, 2010.

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.

Grant - IMLS Calls for 2010 Native American Library Services Enhancement Grant Applications
IMLS Calls for 2010 Native American Library Services Enhancement Grant Applications
Application Deadline: May 3, 2010
Washington, DC-The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is
accepting applications for the 2010 Native American Library Services
Enhancement Grants program. Federally-recognized tribes and Alaska
Native villages and corporations may apply for these grants to improve
existing library services or implement new services, particularly as

(LSTA).
In 2009, IMLS supported 208 tribes with the noncompetitive Native
American Library Services Basic Grants and an additional 17 tribes with
Enhancement Grants, for a total of $3.4 million. These tribes developed
a wide array of library-related projects, from providing new services to
outlying reservations communities and promoting healthy lifestyles
through new programs and materials, to creating pre-literacy programs
for preschool children, their parents, and caregivers. This year, IMLS
hopes to serve even more tribes with this important grant program.
IMLS has scheduled a webinar to give prospective applicants an
opportunity to ask IMLS staff questions pertaining to Native American
Library Services Enhancement Grant applications. This webinar will take
place on March 8, 2010, at 4:00 pm ET. Please visit the website for more
information closer to the webinar date.

The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ)
from Dolores' List of CFPs
Do you want to expand on your Code4Lib conference presentation in
written form? Did the recent Code4Lib conference give you ideas or
renewed enthusiasm for a project that you would like to share with the
Code4Lib Community. Why not submit a proposal to the Code4Lib journal?
The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share
information among those interested in the intersection of libraries,
technology, and the future.
The Code4Lib Journal is now accepting proposals for publication in its
10th issue. Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and
experiences. To be included in the 10th issue, which is scheduled for
publication in late June 2010, please submit articles, abstracts, or
proposals at http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to
c4lj-articles@googlegroups.com by Friday, March 20, 2010. When
submitting, please include the title or subject of the proposal in the
subject line of the email message.
C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome
submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of
the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and
hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including how
they were done and challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies
C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the
barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality,
they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the
middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed
journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code
samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit C4LJ's
Article Guidelines or browse articles from the first 8 issues published
