In coordination with the Council on Library and Information Resources/Digital Library Federation (CLIR/DLF), a new study examining academic libraries' strategic approaches to e-research support is currently underway. We plan to compare the goals, activities, resource needs, issues, and organizational and policy implications across institutions. We also plan to categorize the different strategic approaches to e-research support across institutions and to develop a common set of shared strategic agenda items regardless of the strategic approach taken. The broad intent of the study is to offer a synthesis which will help the wider library community: * Draw from the varied models of e-research support and engagement libraries are offering, * Develop strategic approaches to e-research support given their institutional context, assumptions, goals, and priorities, and * Anticipate the range of resources needed for their intended levels of e-research support. Work package: The intern will work closely with the study lead and participate in all aspects of the ongoing research project including data preparation and analysis, formulating and running queries on the data, searching for and summarizing relevant literature, and writing up results. The aim is for the internship to culminate in a co-authored conference submission that describes the study and preliminary results. Responsibilities * Prepare strategic agendas (e.g. text documents) for qualitative analysis * Read strategic agendas and help develop a list of salient words/phrases that capture common ideas, themes, and patterns found in them * Use the list of words/phrases to analyze the strategic agendas and refine it over time * Run queries to identify common and contrasting themes and patterns found across strategic agendas, write short memos to describe findings, and develop ideas for additional queries * Search and summarize existing literature related to the strategic agenda study and maintain a bibliography of the work Qualifications: * Prior undergraduate or graduate research experience or a strong interest in learning to conduct research * Strong analytical and oral and written communication skills * Ability to work independently and meet deadlines * Experience with Microsoft office programs and ability to quickly learn new software applications (e.g. NVivo, Zotero) Project Links: E-Research and Data: Opportunities for Library Engagement Project. The major objectives of the study are to collect and analyze a sample of strategic agendas developed during the DLF/Duraspace E-Science Institute.

Recognizing that singular projects such as a case study or one-time experiment can have far-reaching implications, while longer-term projects demand ongoing planning, we have created for the first time two tiers of funding. Both funding tiers support the development of standards, practices, methodologies, and workflows dedicated to the stewardship of humanities collections. Tier I, which is for projects up to $75,000, supports planning, basic research, and iterative tool development. Tier II, which is for projects up to $350,000, supports advanced implementation and applied research. Also, starting in 2016, NEH will host an annual Research and Development Project Directors' Meeting. The event will present NEH-funded projects and engage the public in a range of issues related to cultural heritage stewardship. The Research and Development program invites non-profit institutions to submit proposals for both funding tiers by June 25, 2015. The newly updated program, with its combination of planning and implementation grants, is intended to motivate the cultural heritage community to form new partnerships; forge collaboration across cultural heritage, preservation, and the sciences; and to think broadly about how new standards, practices, methodologies, and workflows will help shape the work of the humanities now and well into the future. To help inspire ideas for Research and Development projects, we have compiled a working list of humanities collection types, research topics, and fields for your consideration. Bear in mind, the list is by no means comprehensive or exhaustive; we always invite creative submissions in areas not listed below. Ultimately the applicants determine the trends in research and development. Collection and Format Types * archaeological and ethnographic artifacts * architectural and cartographic records * archives * art and visual culture * books, manuscripts, and special collections * digital media * geospatial information * language materials * material culture * moving image and sound recordings * news media * prints and photographs * research databases * software * time-based media and born-digital art * web, social media, and e-mail Research Fields and Topics * accessibility for the disabled * appraisal and selection * cataloging and description * digital forensics * digital preservation * disaster preparedness and emergency response * humanities research data management and curation * indigenous cultural heritage practices * knowledge organization * linked open data * material analysis * metrics for evaluating use of humanities materials * preventive conservation * textual encoding * visualization The application deadline for Research and Development is June 25, 2015. For complete information on how to apply, visit our information page: http://www.neh.gov/grants/preservation/research-and-development. A pdf of the guidelines may be downloaded here.

International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE Since the birth of the Internet, two-way communication via Web-based exchanges has become more and more popular in electronic transaction, publication, broadcasting, and other service applications (Li, Tan & Xie, 2002), so the Web is an increasingly import ant resource in numerous aspects of life (AbuAli & Abu-Addose, 2011). Since organizations have been realizing the possible implications of the Internet in their work (Aladwani & Palvia, 2002), Internet has become a key strategic weapon, which is particular ly important considering today's competitive business environment (Davidaviciene & Tolvai?as, 2011). Using Internet as a Marketing tool is considerably less expensive than using other media, so web-based Marketing allows organizations to equally compete with each other, regardless the differences that may exist (Klassen, 2002). Considering the mentioned aspects, as well as the rapid pace development of digital and social technologies, research on this topic is fundamental nowadays. In fact, one of the research priorities identified by MSI for 2014-2016 is the evaluation of how digital, social and mobile technologies can be used and managed in order to obtain marketing advantages. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Guidelines for conducting search campaigns. - Directives for creating online ads and promotions. - Engaging customers with social media. - Website quality dimensions. - Using mobile and social media marketing to communicate with the consumers: advantages and obstacles. - The role of social media in consumer perceptions. - The complementarity between digital and traditional media: differences and similarities. - Monitoring social media. - The role of digital media in research. - The role of digital media in different age groups. - The Web 3.0 Era.

International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE According to the European Commission report "A Roadmap for Advanced Cloud Technologies H2020 under", the environment of IST (market research, industry, education, training, etc.) undergoes constant changes. Thus, it is necessary to identify the major changes that can be expected in the next 5-10 years and may, or will, affect the environment of IST. It is expected, for example, that in 2015 billions of people connected by nearly a trillion devices, the concept BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is practically general, as well as Cloud Computing. Additionally, mobile malware has been around for a while, but it is only in the last few years that it is been used as a tool in the hands of cybercriminals. The growth of mobile malware is only going to continue as people increasingly conduct business and sensitive transactions via mobile devices and it is a result of a number of different factors. First, the huge numbers of smartphones being used; second, the variety of ?interesting? data now stored on these devices, such as: contacts, photographs, SMS messages, banking credentials and social networking logins; and finally, the growing use of mobile devices in business and the lack of awareness from organizations around mobile threats. There are a number of major trends in the mobile space which will change the way software providers deliver applications and services. One of these trends is the move toward Mobile Websites instead of apps, hence Mobile Web Portals have a great impact. This progress it is important because literature in information systems rarely addresses the particulars of Mobile Web Portals from pure ICT view. This workshop encourages studies on technical, social and theoretical issues in mobile computing that will interest both practitioners and researchers. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Web Services and Web Engineering - Authentication and Access Control - Web Security and Privacy - Databases and Datawarehouses - Portal strategies - Accessibility issues and Technology - Usability and Ergonomics - Web Geographical Information Systems - Social and Legal Issues - Mobile Navigation and Assistance - Context Detection - Mobile Social Network Interaction - Mobile learning - Mobile commerce - Mobile cloud SUBMISSIONS We welcome full research papers, short papers, posters and practitioner papers on the workshop theme.

International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE The social business is based on technology trends (powerful mobile devices, broadband Internet, and low-cost data storage), work (culture, globalization) and society (propensity for sharing). This new way of doing business will enable a paradigm shift, "comes out of the hierarchy and works on the net", which will surely be the "essence of the fast enterprises and the next generation." Nowadays, according to the McKinsey Global Institute, in its report "The social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social technologies", there are over 1.5 billion users of social networks, 80% is the proportion of total users that interact with social networks regularly, 70% is the proportion of companies using social technologies, and it is used about 28 hours a week to write emails, search for information and perform internal collaboration. Strategies of platform and application integration need to be established and social technology tools need to be integrated, while a common culture of collaborative communication has to be maintained. Questions of user adoption, communication facilitation and measurable business value are arising. Benefits of information sharing, interactive knowledge exchange and usability extension seem to be apparent, whereas concerns of technical operationalization, security control and practicability of social technology features are still persistent. This workshop encourages studies on technical, social and theoretical issues in ICT trends for enterprises that will interest both practitioners and researchers. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Social Tools - Web 2.0 and Social Networking - Platform Integration and Management - Global Online Communities - Interactive Applications - Operational Criteria and System Integration - Real-time Video Collaboration, Knowledge Management and Activity Streaming - Metrics and Methods - Usability, Content and Security - Ethical issues - Success factors for social workplace adoption - Key drivers for leveraging social value generation and business transformation - Visions for future work and process organization SUBMISSIONS We welcome full research papers, short papers, posters and practitioner papers on the workshop theme.

However, as full-text, information-rich search systems become the norm, there is growing recognition of the importance of studying and designing search systems to foster discovery and enhance learning during the search process outside formal educational settings. The research agenda of ?Search as Learning? (SAL) will provide opportunities and challenges for researchers to reconsider the value of search systems in providing support for learning directly and to pay more attention to broader outcomes of searching beyond a set of search results. The Special Issue of ?Searching as Learning? aims to flesh out research directions and methodologies, survey state-of-the-art approaches in this important emerging research area. We are particularly interested in engaging researchers across the information retrieval, information studies, human computer interaction and learning science fields. Goal ----- The special issue on ?Recent Advances on Searching as Learning? is dedicated to address the challenges in the areas of Information Science + other areas) thereby presenting a consolidated view to the interested researchers in the aforesaid fields. The special issue looks for significant contributions to the intersection of Information Seeking and Learning in theoretical and practical aspects. List of topics -------------- This special issue seeks to explore current work in information seeking and searching as learning. Authors are solicited to contribute to the special issue by submitting articles that discuss research projects and results, survey past works and industrial experiences and describe significant advances in the following areas, but not limited to: * Understanding searching as a human learning process * When and how learning occurs in the search process * The relationship between the learning process and searchers' work task contexts * Features and functionalities to foster learning * Search interface design in support of learning * The implications of searching for learning for different populations: children, low literacy searchers, non-experts * The role of affect and engagement on learning while searching * Methods and measures to assess learning performance and experience * Learning analytics for search contexts * Collaborative aspects of searching as learning * Implicit indicators of learning (while searching) * Interaction monitoring and optimization for learning outcomes Important dates --------------------------------------------------- Paper submission deadline: March 31, 2015 First review notification: May 29, 2015 Revised paper submission deadline: June 30, 2015 Notification final acceptance: August 29, 2015 Expected publication: December, 2015 Author guidelines ------------------ Only original papers that are not or have not been submitted for publication elsewhere will be considered.

The Library then announced in November 2012 the proposed model, called BIBFRAME. Since then, the library world is moving from mainly theorizing about the BIBFRAME model to attempts to implement practical experimentation and testing. This experimentation is iterative, and continues to shape the model so that it?s stable enough and broadly acceptable enough for adoption. In this webinar, several institutions will share their progress in experimenting with BIBFRAME within their library system. They will discuss the existing, developing, and planned projects happening at their institutions. Challenges and opportunities in exploring and implementing BIBFRAME in their institutions will be discussed as well. Topics and speakers are: ? *Experimental Mode: The National Library of Medicine and experiences with BIBFRAME* ? *Nancy Fallgren*, Metadata Specialist Librarian, National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) ? *Exploring BIBFRAME at a Small Academic Library* ? *Jeremy Nelson*, Metadata and Systems Librarian, Colorado College ? *Linked Data for Libraries (LD4L)* ? *Nancy Lorimer*, Head, Metadata Dept, Stanford University Libraries *REGISTRATION* Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm Eastern on APRIL 8.

While there do exist significant challenges in other areas, for many the biggest issue of all is a digital libraries one ? How do we preserve big data collections? How do we provide access to big data collections? What new questions can we pose against our big data collections? These are all digital libraries questions. How can we, the digital libraries community, stand up in the face of these challenges and inform collection builders, curators, and interface developers how to best solve their challenges? What assumptions have we been working under that no longer hold in light of Big Data? These are some of the timely questions we hope to address at JCDL 2015.

Message-ID: <550A8866.9060008@uva.nl> CLEF 2015: Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum Experimental IR meets Multilinguality, Multimodality and Interaction September 8-11, 2015, Toulouse, France http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/ Submission Deadlines: - Sunday April 12, 2015 (long papers) - Sunday May 17 (short papers) CALL FOR PAPERS The CLEF Conference addresses all aspects of Information Access in any modality and language. The conference is teamed up with a series of workshops presenting the results of lab-based comparative evaluation. CLEF 2015 is the 6th year of the CLEF Conference and the 16th year of the CLEF initiative as a forum for IR Evaluation. The CLEF conference has a clear focus on experimental IR as done at the evaluation forums (CLEF Labs, TREC, NTCIR, FIRE, MediaEval, RomIP, SemEval, TAC, ?) with special attention to the challenges of multimodality, multilinguality, and interactive search. We invite submissions on significant new insights demonstrated on the resulting IR test collections, on analysis of IR test collections and evaluation measures, as well as on concrete proposals to push the boundaries of the Cranfield/TREC/CLEF paradigm. All submissions to the CLEF main conference will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance, and clarity. CLEF welcomes papers that describe rigorous hypothesis testing regardless of whether the results are positive or negative. Methods are expected to be written so that they are reproducible by others, and the logic of the research design is clearly described in the paper. The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). TOPICS Relevant topics for the CLEF 2015 Conference include but are not limited to: - Information Access in any language or modality: Information retrieval, image retrieval, question answering, search interfaces and design, infrastructures, etc. - Analytics for Information Retrieval: theoretical and practical results in the analytics field that are specifically targeted for information access data analysis. - Evaluation Initiatives: Conclusions, lessons learned, impact and projection of any evaluation initiative after completing their cycle. - Evaluation: methodologies, metrics, statistical and analytical tools, component based, user groups and use cases, ground-truth creation, impact of multilingual/multicultural/multimodal differences, etc. - Technology Transfer: Economic impact/sustainability of information access approaches, deployment and exploitation of systems, use cases, etc. - Interactive Information Retrieval Evaluation: the interactive evaluation of IR systems using user-centered methods, evaluation of novel search interfaces, novel interactive evaluation methods, simulation of interaction, etc. - Specific Application Domains: Information access and its evaluation in application domains such as cultural heritage, digital libraries, social media, expert search, health information, legal documents, patents, news, books, plants, etc. FORMAT Authors are invited to submit electronically original papers, which have not been published and are not under consideration elsewhere, using the LNCS proceedings format: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0 Two types of papers are solicited: - Long papers: 12 pages max. Aimed to report complete research works. - Short papers: 6 pages max.

See below a link to an article regarding a move to dispense with tenure, as well as a link to a Chronicle article about a statement by the AAUP in support of the University. http://www.jsonline.com/news/education/professors-group-raises-red-flag-on-scott-walkers-uw-system-plans-b99461011z1-296085811.html http://chronicle.com/blogs/ticker/aaup-assails-wisconsin-governors-autonomy-plan/95477 Please see this link for a critical view of ALEC. http://www.alecexposed.org/wiki/ALEC_Exposed Wisconsin is the front line of a national and long running attempt to privatize higher education, in part to control the content of the educational and research processes. Wisconsin is the front line target, I believe, because historically it was the leader of the progressive movement. The "Wisconsin Idea" which Mr. Walker has attempted to eradicate as a guiding principle of the UW System, is a direct outgrowth of the progressive movement led by Wisconsin. Milwaukee is particularly despised in certain quarters due to its history of socialism. Milwaukee is the object of systematic vilification and deconstruction in much the same way East St. Louis was in the aftermath of the great railroad strike of 1877. If this battle over tenure and governance is won in Wisconsin by the forces arrayed against the UW System, it will be extended to the rest of the nation, most certainly if Mr. Walker is elected President. We need to forge a kind of national alliance against ALEC, the Bradley Foundation, and the Koch brothers for the sake of freedom of educational expression and research focus. I suggest "National Education and Research Alliance (NERA)" as a working title. Please feel free to contact me at this gmail address- timothy.b.patrick at gmail.com - rather than my uwm email. Using my uwm email for these matters would subject me to censure and would be cause for dismissal. You may also reach me by my personal mobile phone: 414 975 1998 <414%20975%201998>. Please note that this email was not authored or distributed on UW System time and that no UW System resources were used in the process.

We recognize there are other visual literacy standards developed by different organizations in higher education. We seek manuscripts that explore empirical, theoretical, research, practical, or applied aspects of visual literacy for library and information science and services and visual literacy standards developed by other disciplines. With the proliferation of visual information, research has indicated that the need to incorporate visual literacy into the curriculum of higher education is one of the most pressing tasks. ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education recognizes this need and invites educators, scholars, researchers, information professionals, and students to engage visual literacy in higher education. Scholarly research contribution to the *JVL *enhances the implementation of visual literacy standards in the curriculum, research, and learning for a lifelong learning journey *. * JVL reflects the eclectic nature of the membership of the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) and publishes articles on a wide variety of topics on visual literacy. JVL is a refereed, scholarly journal that provides an open forum in which researchers and practitioners can explore the evolving field of visual literacy. *Guidelines for Submitting Manuscripts * 1.

The iPRES 2015 will be held on November 2-6, 2015 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Contributions are currently being sought that present research and innovative practice in digital preservation. - The iPRES 2015 conference is seeking contributions from research and innovative practice in digital preservation. - The conference site is: http://ipres2015.org - This call is available at: http://ipres2015.web.unc.edu/call-for-contributions/ - Author information and guidelines are at: http://ipres2015.web.unc.edu/author-info-guidelines/ Contribution topics. We welcome contributions that address at least one of the following topics: Institutional opportunities and challenges - local, regional and national approaches - legislative context and requirements - institutional contexts for preservation - collaboration and alignment - collection content profiling - research data management - personal archiving - documenting authenticity and integrity - demonstrating benefits and incentives - providing and documenting added value - evaluating options: products, tools, registries, services, service providers - exploring the potential of bartering Infrastructure (organizational and technological) opportunities and challenges - bit preservation - scalability - complex formats - large data sets, e.g. web data or research data - system architectures and requirements - distributed and cloud-based implementations - digital forensics - standards-based practice Frameworks for digital preservation - models - standards and practice - core concepts - business models - sustainability and economic viability Preservation strategies and workflows - preservation strategies (e.g., migration, emulation, normalization) - preservation metadata management - preservation planning and action - archival storage and archival packages - acquisition, ingest, and submission packages - long-term access management and dissemination packages - measuring and mediating risks - content-specific approaches (e.g., GIS, digital art, audiovisual, research data, web-based content, models) Innovative practice - implementations - repositories - issues and wins - lessons learned - the future of digital preservation Training and education - educational needs - evaluating curricula and impacts - innovative offerings - support for lifelong learning - career management Program strands iPRES 2015 is being structured around two key strands - research and innovative practice. Papers are invited for both strands. The purpose of this distinction is to promote work from both a research and innovative practice perspective and work that is clearly rooted in the actual experience of institutions undertaking digital preservation. We expect that there will be work that manages to encapsulate both of these strands, and that is welcomed. All papers for iPRES 2015 should: - be leading edge - be innovative - help inform debate around what digital preservation is. Paper types Full and Short papers - Full papers (8 to 10 pages) will report research work with novel contributions and/or practical engagement with digital preservation problems that show a demonstrable advance in the practice of digital preservation. - Short papers (3 to 5 pages) can focus on new challenges and work in progress, whether in the research or innovative practice strand. All contributions must report on novel and previously unpublished work and will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee. The accepted papers will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings. A best paper award will be offered and recommended for publication in an appropriate journal. Posters and demonstrations Submissions (up to 2 pages) are encouraged for posters reporting on emerging issues or work in progress, and also for demonstrations of innovative solutions. These submissions should describe the work to be presented and its contribution beyond the state of the art. Posters and demonstrations will be presented in a dedicated session during the conference. All contributions will be peer-reviewed. The accepted poster and demonstration submissions will be published in the proceedings. A best poster award will be offered. Panels Proposals for thematic panels to be held during the main conference program can be submitted by 3 to 5 experts. Acceptance will be judged on the merits of the proposal and relevance for the expected audience. Proposals must detail the subject, motivation and panelists. Workshops Proposals for thematic workshops are welcome. Proposals must detail the subject, scope, program strand and intended content. Ideally, workshops should be open to public registration and participation. Acceptance will be judged on the merits of the proposal, requirements for its organization, and local capability to support it (which should not be a major constraint). Tutorials Tutorials must be on a single topic, addressed at either an introductory level or an in-depth, expert level. Submissions for tutorials should be a maximum of 2 pages, including a brief abstract and an outline of the content, the duration (half-day 3 hours or full-day 6 hours), a description of the intended audience and the expected learning outcomes, and a short biography of the presenter(s). Peer review and inclusion in iPres 2015 Proceedings All submissions will be subject to peer review. Those that are accepted for inclusion in the conference will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings. For full and short papers, the full text will be published. For posters, demonstrations, workshops, tutorials and panels, abstracts will be published. After receiving results of the peer review, authors will have an opportunity to edit their submissions for the final proceedings. In order to ensure inclusion in the proceedings, authors should submit final text by August 15, 2015. Publication and Pre-publication at iPres 2015 iPRES is a venue where individuals from across the globe hash out ideas, share results and propose further actions to address the challenges and opportunities of digital preservation. This year, we would like to take further advantage of these rich exchanges by changing how the final proceedings are published. Participants at the conference will receive full pre-publication drafts of papers and abstracts of workshops, tutorials, panels, posters, and demos. Authors will be encouraged to link their own papers to others, to deal with criticisms or comments received, and to clear up any inaccuracies or misunderstandings. In addition panelists and workshop hosts will be invited to report their sessions more fully, and the program committee will commission a number of thematic syntheses to act as an accessible commentary to the whole conference. Authors will be given a short period after the conference to update their contributions to take account of discussion, debate and conference developments. Please note that pre-conference versions will be published if no revised version is provided. Additional opportunities Submissions are also encouraged for associated activities outside the formal program. Responsibility for planning and management of these would be with the submitting organization. The Program Committee would appreciate being notified and consulted about such activities in order to best coordinate efforts with the conference program.

We are in particular interested in the impact of global, international, and cross-cultural issues on ICT development, implementation and use across the globe. Globalization has historically been tied to technological innovation, and the present era of a networked information society is no different. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have provided the infrastructure for multinational businesses, created new cultural connections irrespective of geographic boundaries and distances, and allowed an increasingly mobile global population to be connected to their friends, families, and cultures no matter where they are. The issues surrounding global, international, and cross cultural issues in Information Systems (IS) attracted much scholarly attention and have been explored under myriad contexts. In line with the track recognition that the Internet has transformed the way we work, learn, and play, our minitrack focuses on the sociotechnical dynamics and the ways in which the Internet affects people, groups, organizations, and societies. We are in particular interested in the impact of global, international, and cross-cultural issues on ICT development, implementation and use across the globe. The minitrack welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of global IS, or IS research situated in a global, international or cross-cultural context. The minitrack is open to all methodological approaches and perspectives. We are interested in empirical and theoretical work that addresses these and related socio-technical issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * The impacts of cultural values (e.g. on adaptive user interfaces) on ICT design, adoption, and use. * The impact of cultural values on policies and practices of big data collection and use (e.g., * Cross cultural studies of quantification of self at work, by individuals or organizations * Cross-cultural comparisons of big data collection and use * Cross-national and cross-cultural comparisons of ICT adoption, use and development (e.g. Internet diffusion and impacts compared between different economies) * Effects of global social computing on work organization and practices (e.g. pricing strategies) * Issues relating to globally distributed teams (e.g. the adoption and use of social media by cross-national virtual teams, worker motivation, and human error diversity) * Issues relating to Internet adoption and the digital society at the national level (e.g. digital infrastructure sophistication across countries) *Issues relating to global knowledge management (e.g. different knowledge-sharing cultures in multi-national corporations) *Issues relating to cross-national legislation and regulation (e.g. implications of different regulations governing Green IT in the EU vs. US or Asian countries) * Issues relating to global ICT governance (e.g. sustainable strategies for standardization and harmonization in evolving business networks) * Research on global Cloud sourcing strategies *Single country studies showing implications for other locations or results different from other contexts (e.g. impact of ICT policies on a transition economy) * Multi-country studies of ICT adoption, use, and development (e.g. e-commerce adoption involving multiple countries) * Global impacts of big data on governments, multinational companies, NGOs and other organizations Minitrack Organizers: Pnina Fichman, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University, Bloomington; fichman at indiana.edu Edward W.N.

However, as full-text, information-rich search systems become the norm, there is growing recognition of the importance of studying and designing search systems to foster discovery and enhance learning during the search process outside formal educational settings. The research agenda of ?Search as Learning? (SAL) will provide opportunities and challenges for researchers to reconsider the value of search systems in providing support for learning directly and to pay more attention to broader outcomes of searching beyond a set of search results. The Special Issue of ?Searching as Learning? aims to flesh out research directions and methodologies, survey state-of-the-art approaches in this important emerging research area. We are particularly interested in engaging researchers across the information retrieval, information studies, human computer interaction and learning science fields. Goal ----- The special issue on ?Recent Advances on Searching as Learning? is dedicated to address the challenges in the areas of Information Science + other areas) thereby presenting a consolidated view to the interested researchers in the aforesaid fields. The special issue looks for significant contributions to the intersection of Information Seeking and Learning in theoretical and practical aspects. List of topics -------------- This special issue seeks to explore current work in information seeking and searching as learning. Authors are solicited to contribute to the special issue by submitting articles that discuss research projects and results, survey past works and industrial experiences and describe significant advances in the following areas, but not limited to: * Understanding searching as a human learning process * When and how learning occurs in the search process * The relationship between the learning process and searchers' work task contexts * Features and functionalities to foster learning * Search interface design in support of learning * The implications of searching for learning for different populations: children, low literacy searchers, non-experts * The role of affect and engagement on learning while searching * Methods and measures to assess learning performance and experience * Learning analytics for search contexts * Collaborative aspects of searching as learning * Implicit indicators of learning (while searching) * Interaction monitoring and optimization for learning outcomes Important dates --------------------------------------------------- Paper submission deadline: April 15, 2015 - EXTENDED!

Carroll-Mason) Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2015 21:56:36 +0000 Subject: [Asis-l] Maryland's iSchool Announces Formation of New Digital Curation Innovation Center In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Maryland's iSchool Announces Formation of New Digital Curation Innovation Center The University of Maryland's College of Information Studies, Maryland's iSchool, is pleased to announce the launch of the Digital Curation Innovation Center (DCIC). The DCIC will use public, industry and government partnerships to foster interdisciplinary digital research and education on issues related to the selection, preservation, maintenance, collection and archiving of digital assets. Initial research and education projects at the lab include integration of archival primary source research data, user-contributed data and technology to generate new forms of analysis and historical research engagement. These projects establish the parameters of research data in the humanities and scientific disciplines that determine the most cost-effective methods of implementing a cyberinfrastructure for managing and preserving data over its lifecycle. These projects include: . "Brown Dog,"?a $10.5M CIC Big-10 collaboration (with the NCSA Supercomputing Center at the U. Illinois) supported by a US National Science Foundation Data Infrastructure Building Blocks (DIBBs) award, that makes data in old/obsolete file formats easily accessible to researchers, and accelerates the development of digital curation tools and services. This project also serves as a model for how Big Data infrastructure projects can extend beyond research into widespread, practical use. . A $450K collaboration with the National Agriculture Library, which has established a multi-year fellowship in?digital curation for iSchool graduate students. . "Revisiting Segregation Through Computational History: The Case of the WWII Japanese-American Tule Lake Segregation Center." In collaboration with the National Park Service, the U.S. National Archives, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and King's College London, the project will investigate and prototype a GIS platform that links people, places, and events from distributed sources. . "Mapping Inequality": Partners include Johns Hopkins, Virginia Tech, and the University of Richmond. The project is crowdsourcing a national collection of surveys and maps of neighborhoods for over 150 cities, documenting racial, ethnic, and economic characteristics of residents and potential homebuyers in the 1930s and 1940s. . "The Human Face of Crowdsourcing": This is a student- and citizen-led crowdsourcing?project that will create access and collaborative opportunities around historically and socially-significant heterogeneous datasets rooted in?urban renewal?housing records of the Southside neighborhood in Asheville, NC, a historically African-American community. Richard Marciano, professor, is the new center's director and?Michael Kurtz, visiting professor, is associate director. Marciano came to the iSchool in 2014 from the University of North Carolina's School of Information and Library Science, after working at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, and is a noted expert on digital preservation, sustainable archives, cyberinfrastructure and big data. Kurtz, who has been a full-time member of the iSchool's faculty since 2011, led the implementation of several e-records initiatives while serving as Assistant Archivist for Records Services at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The full DCIC team comprises 18 people, including iSchool staff members Greg Jansen, research software architect, an expert in digital repository and archive design, and Dilip Bharadwaj,?graduate research assistant, master's and doctoral students, as well as undergraduate students from across the university and external research affiliates. "Managing and preserving digital records and other research data is a critical need for the University of Maryland and other research institutions," says Marciano. "Establishing best practices for cyberinfrastructure and management of digital assets enables new avenues of interdisciplinary research and opens new methods of engaging with historical data that illuminate key issues related to human rights and social justice." The Center will have two research lab components. Marciano will serve as director of the?Sustainable Archives and Leveraging Technologies (SALT) Lab, which will focus on research in the areas of digital materials and records collection and preservation.?Ricardo Punzalan, assistant professor, will serve as director of the?Archives Research and Collaboration (ARC) Lab, which focuses on innovative systems, strategies, and tools to foster sustainable futures for archives, preservation, and digital archives. New research and educational infrastructure in the Center and iSchool will include: (1) the CurateLab, a media:scape lab for group learning, collaborative design, and hands-on digital curation projects, (2) the DataCave, a peta-scale archival storage and analytics facility powered by NetApp storage and commercial Alloy software from Archive Analytics Solutions for long-term archival storage and preservation, (3) the VirtualFarm, a virtual machine farm at the iSchool for local research data processing and storage, and (4) the VclCloud, an iSchool dashboard-enabled virtual computing lab for creating Windows/Ubuntu instances using Amazon Web Services (AWS). In addition, the Center will help power two new educational initiatives:?(1) the post-master's Curation and Management of Digital Assets (CMDA) Certificate?which starts June 2015, and (2) the?Archives and Digital Curation specialization?which starts in June 2015.
