[Asis-l] CFP: JCDL 2005 Workshop: Studying Digital Library Users in the Wild

[Sarah Giersch]

  Studying Digital Library Users in the Wild: Theories, Methods, and 
Analytical Approaches

**Call for Participation**

WORKSHOP GOALS
The workshop will focus on the theoretical and methodological issues 
involved in the qualitative, longitudinal study of the developers, 
users, funders, etc., involved in the development of digital libraries, 
cyberinfrastructure, and other distributed information technologies. 
These technologies will be treated as complex mixtures of people, 
technological artifacts, and practices that can be analyzed using a 
range of approaches, including anthropology, ethnography, 
ethnomethodology, grounded theory, discourse analysis, scenarios, 
in-depth interviews and focus groups.

FORMAT AND SUBMISSIONS
Persons interested in presenting are invited to submit a short (250 
word) abstract describing their research by April 15, for 
acceptance/rejection by April 30. The authors of accepted abstracts will 
be invited to submit a longer (600-1000+ word) position paper by May 31. 
Note: Attendees will have to pay a JCDL workshop fee (to be determined), 
in addition to their JCDL registration.
