From silvello at dei.unipd.it Tue Sep 1 03:04:56 2015 From: silvello at dei.unipd.it (Gianmaria Silvello) Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2015 09:04:56 +0200 Subject: [Asis-l] [ECIR 2016] Call for contribution, submission deadline 9 Oct. 2015 Message-ID: <4FE48DE2-FB3C-4ABE-9A69-31739352783D@dei.unipd.it> * 3rd Call for Contributions * * Papers, Demos, Workshops and Tutorials * The 38th European Conference on Information Retrieval 20 - 23 March, 2016 Padua, Italy http://ecir2016.dei.unipd.it/ https://twitter.com/ecir2016 *** Apologies for cross-posting *** ########################################################### The 38th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR 2016) will take place in Padua, Italy, 20-23 March 2016. ECIR is the main European forum for the presentation of new research results in the field of Information Retrieval (IR). ECIR encourages the submission of high quality research papers reporting original, previously unpublished results. With the rapidly increasing amount of data produced in the world and the increasing adoption of IR techniques beyond the traditional search for documents, papers on IR applied to eScience and to the Internet of Things are particularly encouraged. ECIR has a strong student focus, hence papers whose sole or main author is a postgraduate student are especially welcome. Through the student mentoring programme, PhD students can request the assistance of a mentor, who can give advice and suggest improvements to an almost complete paper. More details on the student mentoring programme are on the website. Full Papers and Short Papers ---------------------------- We are seeking the submission of high-quality and original full papers, short papers and demos. Submissions will be reviewed by experts on the basis of the originality of the work, the validity of the results, chosen methodology, writing quality and the overall contribution to the field of IR. Short Paper submissions addressing any of the areas identified in the conference topics are also invited. Authors are encouraged to describe work in progress and late-breaking research results. Demonstrations -------------- Demonstrations present research prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert users. Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas related to aspects of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for papers on the ECIR website. The demonstration submission should address clear research questions like: What problem does my system solve? Who is my target user? Demonstrations that make their source code freely available are especially encouraged. We ask all authors to either provide a URL to a live online version of their demo or, alternatively, provide a URL to a video showcasing the main features of their demo. Tutorials --------- Tutorials inform the community on recent advances in core IR research, related research, or on novel application areas related to IR. They may focus on specific problems or specific domains in which IR research may be applied. Tutorials can be of either a half-day (3 hours plus breaks) or a full day (6 hours plus breaks) duration. Tutorials are encouraged to be as interactive as possible. The information required for a tutorial proposal is on the conference website. Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the tutorial committee. A summary of the tutorial will be published in the conference proceedings. Workshops --------- The purpose of workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and research results in a focused and more interactive way. Workshops can be of either a half-day (3 hours plus breaks) or a full day (6 hours plus breaks) duration. Workshops are encouraged to be as dynamic and interactive as possible and should lead to a concrete outcome, such as the publication of a summary paper and/or workshop proceedings. The information required for a workshop proposal is on the conference website. Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the workshop committee. A summary of the workshop will be published in the conference proceedings. Reproducible IR Research Track ------------------------------ We are happy to announce the Reproducible IR Research Track introduced at ECIR 2015 will continue for ECIR 2016. Reproducibility is key for establishing research to be reliable, referenceable and extensible for the future. Experimental papers are therefore most useful when their results can be tested and generalised by peers. This track specifically invites submission of papers reproducing a single or a group of papers, from a third-party where you have *not* been directly involved (e.g., *not* been an author or a collaborator). Emphasise your motivation for selecting the paper/papers, the process of how results have been attempted to be reproduced (successful or not), the communication that was necessary to gather all information, the potential difficulties encountered and the result of the process. A successful reproduction of the work is not a requirement, but it is important to provide a clear and rigid evaluation of the process to allow lessons to be learned for the future. Submission guidelines --------------------- All submissions must be written in English following the ECIR guidelines (http://irsg.bcs.org/proceedings/ECIR_Draft_Guidelines.pdf) and the LNCS author guidelines (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0) and submitted electronically through the conference submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecir2016 selecting the proper track. Full papers must not exceed 12 pages, short papers must not exceed 6 pages, demonstration papers must not exceed 4 pages, reproducible IR track papers must not exceed 12 pages, including references and figures. Full paper, short paper and reproducible IR track paper submissions will be refereed through double-blind peer review. Demonstration papers will undergo single-blind review. Accepted full papers, short papers, demos and reproducible IR track papers will be published in the conference proceedings published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be distributed to all delegates at the Conference. Accepted full papers, short papers, demos and reproducible IR track papers will have to be presented at the conference. Short papers and reproducible IR track papers will either be presented as a poster or as an oral presentation. Accepted workshops and tutorials will have a 4 pages summary published in the conference proceedings. ================ IMPORTANT DATES ================ Papers ------ 09 October 2015 - Full/Short Paper submission deadline 09 October 2015 - Reproducible IR Track submission deadline 23 October 2015 - Demo submission deadline 04 December 2015 - Notification on Full Papers, Short Papers, Demos, Reproducible IR Track Papers 11 January 2016 - Camera-ready Mentoring --------- 07 August 2015 - Request for mentoring deadline 21 August 2015 - Mentor assignment deadline Workshops / Tutorials --------------------- 11 September 2015 - Workshops / Tutorials submission deadline 19 October 2015 - Notification on Workshops / Tutorials ======= TOPICS ======= Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * IR Theory and Practice - Searching, browsing, meta-searching - Data fusion, filtering and indexing - Language models, probabilistic IR, neural network based models - Learning to rank - Content classification, categorisation, clustering - Relevance feedback, query expansion, faceted retrieval - Topic detection and tracking, novelty detection - Recommender systems - Content-based filtering, collaborative filtering - Spam detection and filtering - Personalised, collaborative or user-adaptive IR - Adversarial IR - Privacy in IR - Contextual IR - Mobile, Geo and local search - Temporal IR, time-based modelling - Entity IR * Web and Social Media IR - Link analysis - Query log analysis - Advertising and ad targeting - Spam detection - Trust, authority, reputation, ranking - Blog and online-community search, microblogs - Social search - Social tagging - Social networking and Web based communities - Trend identification and tracking - Time series and forecasting * User aspects - User modelling, user studies, user interaction and history - Interactive IR - Task-based IR - Click models - Novel user interfaces for IR systems - Visualisation of queries, search results or content - Multimodal aspects, multimodal querying * IR system architectures - Distributed and peer to peer IR - Cloud IR - Federated IR - Aggregated Search - Fusion/Combination - Open, interoperable and flexible systems - Performance, scalability, efficiency - Architectures and platforms - Crawling and indexing - Compression, optimisation - Map/Reduce for IR * Content representation and processing - IR for semi-structured documents - IR for semantically annotated collections, semantic search - Reasoning for IR - Meta information and structures, metadata - Query representation, query reformulation - Text categorisation and clustering - Text data mining - Opinion mining, sentiment analysis, argumentation mining - Cross-language retrieval, multilingual retrieval - Machine translation for IR - Question answering - Natural language processing - Summarization for IR * Evaluation - Evaluation methods and metrics - Building test collections - Experimental design - Crowdsourcing for evaluation, human computing - User-oriented and user-centred test and evaluation - Metric comparison and evaluation - Offline vs online evaluation * Multimedia and cross-media IR - Speech retrieval - Image and video retrieval - Entity retrieval - Digital music, radio and broadcast retrieval - Virtual reality and information access - Cross-modal processing and search * Applications - Digital libraries - Enterprise and intranet search - Desktop search - Mobile IR - Genomic IR, IR for chemical structures - Medical IR - Legal IR, patent search - eScience - The Internet of Things =========== ORGANIZERS =========== General Chair: - Nicola Ferro, University of Padua, Italy Programme Chairs: - Fabio Crestani, University of Lugano (USI), Switzerland - Marie-Francine Moens, KU Leuven, Belgium Short Paper Chairs: - Josiane Mothe, ESPE, IRIT, Universit? de Toulouse, France - Fabrizio Silvestri, Yahoo!

CHIIR is a forum for the dissemination and discussion of research on the user-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval. CHIIR focuses on elements such as human involvement in search activities, and information seeking and use in context. The conference represents a merger of two successful past events: the Information Interaction in Context conference (IIiX) and the Human Computer Information Retrieval symposium (HCIR), which have run since 2006 and 2007, respectively. CHIIR 2016 solicits several types of submissions: full papers, short papers and workshop proposals. In addition, CHIIR will host a doctoral consortium. *New Paper Category: New Perspectives* New Perspectives papers provide novel ideas or insights concerning conceptualizations, problem statements, concerns or methodological issues in Human Information Interaction and Retrieval, and that have the potential to inspire substantive discussion and significant advances in the field. Contributions could be meta-theoretical and include views and claims that function as directives of how and what to study, or systematize previous studies to give a broader view of a sub-field or field as a whole. New Perspectives contributions should not be reports of empirical research (that type of paper should be submitted as a Full or Short paper), but rather should argue systematically for a new approach, methodology, or larger theory in our field. IMPORTANT DATES (extended to) 7 Sept 2015 - Full Papers and New Perspectives Papers Due 15 Sept 2015 - Short Papers, Workshops Proposals and DC Submissions Due 20 Oct 2015 - Workshop Notifications 13 Nov 2015 - All Other Notifications 13-17 Mar 2016 - CHIIR conference SCOPE We expect submissions to contain a rigorous evaluation of any proposed findings, using techniques such as laboratory studies, field experiments, in situ observational studies, crowdsourcing, simulations of search behavior, and log analysis. Authors should describe their methods and techniques in enough detail to allow for replication and reuse. Users are central to the design, evaluation, and use of information retrieval systems. Many areas of interest for CHIIR have traditionally been covered under "Users and interactive IR" at the SIGIR Conference, and at previous HCIR and IIiX conferences. CHIIR provides a dedicated venue for broader, deeper discussion of research in this important area. We are particularly interested in papers about the following areas: * Information seeking, search and retrieval, including task-based and exploratory search * Interaction techniques for information retrieval and discovery * Online information-seeking behavior, including log analysis of search and browsing * Modeling and simulation of information interaction * Search user interfaces, including those for specialized tasks, populations and domains * Information use, including measures of use and sensemaking * Field and case studies relevant to information retrieval and access * User-centered evaluation methods and measures, including measures of user experience and performance, experiment and search task design, data analysis methods, and usability * Context-aware and personalized search, contextual features and analysis for information interaction * Collaborative information seeking and social search, including social utility and network analysis for information interaction * Information visualization and visual analytics, search result presentation * User-centered work in other areas of information retrieval SUBMIT Full, short and perspectives paper submissions should be in English and formatted using the LaTeX or Word style templates from the ACM Website: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Submissions should be in PDF. Full paper and New Perspectives paper submissions should not exceed 10 pages and short paper submissions should not exceed 4 pages. Accepted full and short papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the conference proceedings.

Dr Costello holds a Ph.D. in Information Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and M.S in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. Her dissertation was titled: ?Social information behaviors in the context of chronic kidney disease: Information seeking and disclosure in online support groups? and her dissertation committee was chaired by Professor Barbara Wildemuth. Her dissertation was a grounded theory study on the relationship between online information seeking and personal health information disclosure in online support groups for chronic kidney disease. In her dissertation, she found that individuals assess their similarity with other users in online support groups as a way to understand relevance, both when they search for and when they disclose personal health information online. Dr. Costello?s ongoing work will examine how these assessments of relevance evolve over time when people search for health information online. She is also investigating how patients communicate with their healthcare providers about the information they find online. In her future work, she plans to study the health effects of participating in online support groups.

The name change follows the expansion of programs at the School (both at the graduate and undergraduate level) and the increasing diversity of professions in the information field. The name ?Information Science? encompasses the School?s array of programs?including Information Studies, Information Communication Technology, Instructional Communication and Research, and Library Science?at the broadest level. Students pursuing programs of study under the Information Science umbrella go on to pursue careers in a variety of fields and settings including (though not limited to) libraries, schools, law firms, healthcare organizations, and companies in the private and public sectors. The School of Information Science has a long history of pioneering education for information professionals: In 1918, the first classes in library science were offered at the University of Kentucky. In 1932, the Department of Library Science was formed, becoming the Graduate School of Library Science in 1968 and finally the College of Library Science in 1970, earning it the distinction of being the first college of library science in the United States. The College of Library Science became the College of Library and Information Science in 1982 and in 1993 merged with the College of Communications to form the College of Communications and Information Studies, becoming the School of Library and Information Science. Instructional Communication and Research became a unit of the school in 2013, and the Information Communication Technology Program debuted in 2014. The School has also been a campus leader when it comes to innovating and offering online programs. This dates back to 1973 when it first established a distance learning program for the master?s in library science. Since then, the School introduced a fully-online master?s degree in library science in 2009, and an undergraduate online minor in Information Studies in 2013. ?The name change is reflective of wider use of Information Science to describe programs at similar institutions that are also members of the iSchools collaborative, a collection of information schools dedicated to advancing the field in the 21st Century,? says Dr. Jeffrey T. Huber, the School?s director. ?The name recognizes the broader scope of programs, courses, and areas of faculty research in the School.? Currently the School has 36 faculty members across all its units, with plans in place to recruit new faculty. The name change was approved unanimously by School faculty and was brought about by the addition of new programs, two new degrees, as well as a minor. The School of Information Science is part of the College of Communication and Information, the iSchool at the University of Kentucky. The School continues striving toward its goal ?to be one of the nation's best schools for information professionals, excelling in teaching, scholarship, and professional service. The name change was official as of July 1, 2015.

Dr. Nemer uses his research to inform policy makers and designers of ICTs. The aspect of teaching he most enjoys is watching students take a theory or framework they've studied in class and apply it to think critically and make decisions, particularly when it comes to thinking critically about the role of technology in society. Dr. Nemer is looking forward connecting with "as many people as possible" at UK this semester and hopes to work across different departments with different research agendas in order to promote collaboration. He adds that he'd like to work with both faculty and students when it comes to research and collaboration. Dr. Nemer is teaching ICT 200 Information Literacy & Critical Thinking this Fall. *Zachary Lewis (Faculty Lecturer, ICR)* Zachary Lewis' research interests consist of the process of teaching writing in "its new meaning." Lewis says, "while it still retains the notion of putting pen to paper, that definition [of writing] is quickly becoming too limited. Now, we write video files, CDs, and websites, but at the core of all of those modes of communication we still echo back to what we once meant when we plainly said 'writing.' I'm interested in better understanding the connections between every mode of communication and using that to better the way we teach and learn." In addition to that broader interest, his curiosity usually takes the form of researching evaluative strategies. "I believe that all communicative modes share in the foundational principles of rhetoric. Consequently, I am interested in how we might use those foundational principles to better teach communication." He is excited to be working within the College of Communication and Information at UK which considers "writing, multimedia, and speech altogether." Lewis describes teaching as "a remarkable privilege. It's a unique opportunity to share in the formation of new ideas and new understandings. But even more than what I can learn about teaching, I'm fascinated by the privilege it allots to me. In some branches of composition theory, we talk about the idea of a felt sense--that we each share a fundamental, intrinsic, and mutual understanding of one another. It's almost like the soul, a concept that's very difficult for words because its meaning often both precedes and goes beyond what we know how to say. In any case, this concept is what makes communication possible as it is what we must rely upon as we seek to transfer an idea from one mind to another. Teaching any subject will allow anyone [to] bear witness to this everyday miracle, but teaching the actual processes of communication is almost as if we get to study this remarkable and elusive notion directly." Having worked with the Department of English in the past, Lewis looks forward to teaching about writing in a communication-focused environment where multimedia and presenting are part of the curriculum. Lewis is teaching the CIS 110 Composition and Communication course this Fall. *Dr. Seungahn Nah (Associate Professor, ICT, Joint Appointment with College of Agriculture, Food and Environment)* Dr. Nah is an Associate Professor in the Department of Community and Leadership Development for the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment at the University of Kentucky in the area of Community Communication. He is also the Director of the Kentucky Citizen Media Project: The Lexington Commons. Dr. Nah will serve as President of the Korean American Communication Association as of this September. He is teaching ICT 690 203 Special Topics: ICTs in Communities this Fall. The School welcomes Dr. David Nemer, Dr. Seungahn Nah and Zac Lewis to our faculty and wishes them success!

Principal investigator Deborah Stevenson, assistant professor and director of the Center for Children?s Books, and co-PI Kate McDowell, associate professor and assistant dean for student affairs, began work on the IMLS-funded planning phase of the project, ?Closing the App Gap I,? in 2013. Abstract: The Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will engage in a three-year, multi-site project focused on app creation for children ages eight to twelve. App authors will create curricula and tools for use in school and public libraries that will teach young people to create apps and allow them to share their achievements with other children. The curriculum will be disseminated for adoption at other school and public libraries. The project will provide young people with early programming experience, and further establish libraries as places to engage youth in STEM exploration and digital development that reflects their own experiences. ?The App Authors project is an exciting expansion of our previous project, where we first began working with kids and apps in library spaces. With App Authors, we?ll expand that work to multiple sites across the country and reach thousands of kids directly. We?ll also model an app-creation curriculum that can be replicated by other interested librarians,? Stevenson said. In addition to directing the Center for Children?s Books, Stevenson is the editor of The Bulletin of the Center for Children?s Books, one of the nation's leading children's book review journals for school and public librarians. Her research interests include children's literature and contemporary culture, history of children's literature, and genre theory. She has published articles in The Horn Book Magazine, The Lion and the Unicorn, and Children?s Literature Association Quarterly. McDowell's research interests include youth services librarianship; children's print culture history; public libraries as cultural spaces; apps and iPads for kids; and storytelling in higher education, advancement, business, and public service. At GSLIS, she teaches courses on youth services librarianship, history of readers, and storytelling. She has published articles in Children and Libraries, Book History, Libraries and the Cultural Record, and Library Quarterly. -- Christy Glaze, MLS Visiting Communications Coordinator GSLIS: The iSchool at Illinois www.lis.illinois.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Harriett Green, English and Digital Humanities Librarian at the University Library, is the principal investigator (PI) on the project, ?Digging Deeper, Reaching Further: Libraries Empowering Users to Mine the HathiTrust Digital Library Resources.? J. Stephen Downie, GSLIS professor and associate dean for research and co-director of the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC), and Beth Sandore Namachchivaya, associate university librarian for research, are co-PIs on the project. According to the abstract, the project will ?develop a shared curriculum for use in academic libraries [as well as] a train-the-trainer series designed to assist librarians in getting started with the tools, services, and related research methodologies of the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC).? ?We are excited to build an innovative suite of training opportunities to empower librarians to engage in digital scholarship. Our multi-institutional collaboration will enable us to reach academic libraries across the spectrum of higher education institutions, and address the urgent need for expanded library research support in digital humanities,? said Green. North America?s largest public academic library and the nation?s top library and information science program have enjoyed a long history of close and productive collaborations. This project brings together noted experts in research and practice both at Illinois as well as other institutions to further digital humanities research. Working with the Illinois PIs will be colleagues from Indiana University, Northwestern University, Lafayette College, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the HTRC. ?This is an exciting next step in opening the powerful resources of the HTRC to academic libraries across the country. Librarians are on the front lines of bringing big data tools and methods to their constituencies, and this grant will make them even more effective in supporting research,? said Downie. ?This grant will enable a team of library and information science professionals to advance the use of data mining tools that have the potential to revolutionize digital scholarship practices using the HathiTrust Digital Library. The resulting network of expertise and support for digital humanities research and teaching has the potential to fundamentally change the nature of libraries? research services,? said Namachchivaya. -- Kim Schmidt Director of Publications and Media Relations Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 501 East Daniel Street Champaign, IL 61820 (217) 265-6391 www.lis.illinois.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

From silvello at dei.unipd.it Mon Sep 21 10:12:16 2015 From: silvello at dei.unipd.it (Gianmaria Silvello) Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2015 16:12:16 +0200 Subject: [Asis-l] [ECIR 2016] Call for Contributions Message-ID: ECIR 2016 CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS The 38th European Conference on Information Retrieval Padua, Italy March 20-23, 2016 http://ecir2016.dei.unipd.it/ https://twitter.com/ecir2016 The 38th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR 2016) will take place in Padua, Italy from 20-23 March 2016. ECIR is the main European forum for the presentation of new research results in the field of Information Retrieval (IR). ECIR encourages the submission of high quality research papers reporting original, previously unpublished results. With the rapidly increasing amount of data produced in the world and the increasing adoption of IR techniques beyond the traditional search for documents, papers on IR applied to eScience and to the Internet of Things are particularly encouraged. ECIR has a strong student focus, hence papers whose sole or main author is a postgraduate student are especially welcome. FULL PAPERS AND SHORT PAPERS We are seeking the submission of high-quality and original full papers, short papers and demos. Submissions will be reviewed by experts on the basis of the originality of the work, the validity of the results, chosen methodology, writing quality and the overall contribution to the field of IR. Short Paper submissions addressing any of the areas identified in the conference topics are also invited. Authors are encouraged to describe work in progress and late-breaking research results. REPRODUCIBLE IR TRACK We are happy to announce the Reproducible IR Research Track introduced at ECIR 2015 will continue for ECIR 2016. Reproducibility is key for establishing research to be reliable, referenceable and extensible for the future. Experimental papers are therefore most useful when their results can be tested and generalised by peers. This track specifically invites submission of papers reproducing a single or a group of papers, from a third-party where you have *not* been directly involved (e.g., *not* been an author or a collaborator). Emphasise your motivation for selecting the paper/papers, the process of how results have been attempted to be reproduced (successful or not), the communication that was necessary to gather all information, the potential difficulties encountered and the result of the process. A successful reproduction of the work is not a requirement, but it is important to provide a clear and rigid evaluation of the process to allow lessons to be learned for the future. DEMONSTRATIONS Demonstrations present research prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert users. Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas related to aspects of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for papers on the ECIR website. The demonstration submission should address clear research questions like: What problem does my system solve? Who is my target user? Demonstrations that make their source code freely available are especially encouraged. We ask all authors to either provide a URL to a live online version of their demo or, alternatively, provide a URL to a video showcasing the main features of their demo. PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submissions must be written in English following the ECIR guidelines (http://irsg.bcs.org/proceedings/ECIR_Draft_Guidelines.pdf) and the LNCS author guidelines (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0) and submitted electronically through the conference submission system available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecir2016 selecting the proper track. Full papers must not exceed 12 pages, short papers must not exceed 6 pages, demonstration papers must not exceed 4 pages, reproducible IR track papers must not exceed 12 pages, including references and figures. Full paper, short paper and reproducible IR track paper submissions will be refereed through double-blind peer review. Demonstration papers will undergo single-blind review. Accepted full papers, short papers, demos and reproducible IR track papers will be published in the conference proceedings published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be distributed to all delegates at the Conference. Accepted full papers, short papers, demos and reproducible IR track papers will have to be presented at the conference. Short papers and reproducible IR track papers will either be presented as a poster or as an oral presentation.

Cullman Education and Research Building at The Museum of Modern Art on Saturday, March 5, 2016. We invite people of all gender identities and expressions, particularly trans- and cis-gendered women, to gather for an all-day, communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, reference materials, childcare, and refreshments. GET INVOLVED | Last year, over 1500 participants at The Museum of Modern Art in New York and more than 75 node events around the world participated in the second annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, resulting in the creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500 articles on Wikipedia. Let's double those results in 2016! Want to volunteer? Not in New York and want to organize an event? Email us at info at art.plusfeminism.org to learn more and get involved. WHY | Wikimedia's gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female. The reasons for the gender gap are up for debate; suggestions include leisure inequality, how gender socialization shapes public comportment, and the sometimes-contentious nature of Wikipedia's talk pages. The practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. This represents an alarming absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. WHO | The 2016 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon is organized by Art+Feminism, led by Si?n Evans/Art Libraries Society of North America's Women and Art Special Interest Group, Jacqueline Mabey/failed projects, and Michael Mandiberg, in collaboration with the Professional Organization for Women in the Arts (POWarts) and The Museum of Modern Art. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Peculiar ambitions. Surprising outcomes; whether we belong to communities or help create them, the associations, guilds, leagues and interest groups we keep company with serve as many different purposes and pursuits as there are names to describe them. In keeping with the 2016 Congress theme of ?Energizing Communities,? the Canadian Association for Information Science 2016 CFP challenges you to think about information science at the community level, and invites proposals relating to the broad theme of ?Information Science in our Communities: Reflections on our Work and the People, Places and Institutions Around Us.? Whether we work individually or collaboratively, in highly technological or highly social contexts, in the hotbed of contemporary research or on the periphery, information science inevitably wrestles with aspects of community. What do these communities look like? How do they survive (or not) through adversity and challenge? What does community innovation look like, and how does it affect sustainability? We invite papers and proposals representing diverse themes and methods related (but not limited) to conceptualizations of community. Consider the following ideas: ? Discovering and defining communities: locally, nationally, internationally ? Collaboration and independence: within IS contexts and beyond ? Community benefit and engagement ? Community building: opportunities, structures, best practices, learning from the past, visions for the future ? Community participation, service and leadership ? Organizing information for and with communities ? Community research and methods ? Missing and excluded communities ? Differentiation and integration: among groups, professionals, or on personal levels ? Supporting communities, listening to communities ? Traditions and extraordinary changes in IS communities Call for Proposals Proposals may be submitted in English or French. The conference committee strongly encourages submissions from professional, academic and student researchers. Types of submissions include: CAIS Papers: 20-minute oral presentations of completed or well-developed projects on topics suitable for publication in scholarly journals. Proposals that report on completed or ongoing research will be given preference. Diverse perspectives (theoretical and applied) and methodologies are welcomed. Proposals should be in the form of an extended abstract (approximately 1000-1500 words excluding references), reporting on research projects, theoretical developments or innovative practical applications. CAIS Posters: Visual presentations of completed or well-developed projects on topics suitable for publication in scholarly journals. Proposals that report on completed or ongoing research will be given preference. Diverse perspectives (theoretical and applied) and methodologies are welcomed. Proposals should be in the form of a short abstract (with a limit of 750 words excluding references), reporting on research projects, theoretical developments or innovative practical applications. Student- and Practitioner-to-CAIS/ACSI Awards Submissions by graduate students and by practitioners for CAIS Papers (only) will be considered for these awards. Details of the awards, including previous winners, can be found at the CAIS/ACSI website at www.cais-acsi.ca. Submission Deadline for all proposals is January 11, 2016. CAIS submissions will be reviewed using the online EasyChair system (https://easychair.org/conferences /?conf=cais2016). Conference proposals will be refereed by the CAIS Program Committee. Authors will be notified of the decision approximately February 22th, 2016. All presenters must register for the conference. Abstracts will be published on the CAIS/ACSI Website once registration has taken place. Final versions must be submitted no later than April 22th, 2016. Participants are also encouraged to submit full papers to the Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science / La revue canadienne des sciences de l'information et de bibliotheconomie. Registration The conference will take place as part of the 2016 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences at University of Calgary in Calgary, Alberta from June 1-3, 2016.

The 19th ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW 2016) will be held from February 27 through March 2 in downtown San Francisco. While the call for papers closed in May, there are still multiple opportunities to participate in CSCW! We specifically invite scholars to submit proposals for half-,one-, or two-day day workshops before the 16 October 2015 11:59pm PDT deadline. http://cscw.acm.org/2016/submit/workshops.php Workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and explore emerging areas of CSCW research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. Workshops may focus on any aspect of CSCW theory or practice, established concerns or new ideas. However, radical new ideas expected to draw a sufficient number of participants are very much encouraged! The goal of a workshop is to share understandings and experiences, to foster research communities, to learn from each other and to envision future directions. For a sample of workshop topics from the last conference, please look at the CSCW 2011 , CSCW 2012 , CSCW 2013 , CSCW 2014 , and CSCW 2015 Workshop Programs. Workshop proposals should consist of an abstract and a detailed proposal. The abstract should be no more than 150 words. The body of the proposal should be no more than 3000 words, and should include a description of the theme(s) of the workshop, the workshop activities and goals, the duration of the workshop (one or two full days), the background of the organizer(s), the maximum number of participants, the means of recruiting and selecting participants, and the equipment and supplies needed to run the workshop. Please note that workshops receive minimal technology support, which is reflected in the low fee for attending them. This means that organizers should plan to bring their own equipment insofar as it is possible to do so (e.g., projector, laptops, portable supplies) and will be responsible for the security of their own equipment. We encourage workshop organizers to create web-based resources for their workshops so that advertising, submission and organization can be handled online. *Important Dates for Workshop Organizers* October 16, 2015 11:59pm PDT: Workshop proposal deadline October 30, 2015: Notification of acceptance November 6, 2015: 150 word Web abstract and workshop link due December 5, 2015: Final camera-ready versions of abstracts due mid-December 2015/mid-January 2016: Workshop submissions due and accepted submissions notified -- see individual workshops (workshop list available after Nov. 6, 2015) for information, deadlines, and updates Feb. 27/28, 2016: Workshops take place at CSCW 2016 *Workshop proposal submission*: cscw2016workshops at acm.org Questions concerning workshop proposals should be directed to the CSCW 2016 Workshop Co-Chairs via email: cscw2016workshops at acm.org Workshop proposals should be e-mailed to the Workshop Co-Chairs atcscw2016workshops at acm.org by 11:59pm PDT on Friday October 16, 2015.

Michelle Chen) Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2015 15:38:00 -0700 Subject: [Asis-l] Instructor needed to teach "Big Data Technologies" for the School of Information, San Jose State University Message-ID: I am looking for an instructor for Spring 2016 who would teach a class in Big Data Technologies for the School of Information at San Jose State University. Our programs are delivered in a 100% asynchronous online format so location is unimportant. Spring runs from January 28th to May 16th. The class will be taught as part of our interdisciplinary Advanced Certificate in Big Data. The students will be in a workplace renewal grant - engineers who are retooling. Here is information about the content. This advanced course will explore novel concepts and cutting-edge technologies in the Big Data area, focusing on the application-related aspects of choosing the right Big Data technologies as well the effective usage, administration and optimization thereof. Since the technology landscape of this field is emerging, diverse and quickly expanding, the main goal of this course is to teach the fundamental concepts, while encouraging students to explore and understand the specific differences among various new solutions in their individual pursuits and experiments. Through technology blogging, tutorials, presentations and projects, students will discuss and compare existing solutions and also, acquire hands-on experiences with tools they will use to carry out at least three typical Big Data management tasks, including extract-transform-load, cleaning, integration, distributed storage and usage (searching, querying and analytical processing). Since different student teams will compare and experiment with a specific combination of technologies, this course also has a survey character, providing students a broad overview of the Big Data technology landscape. In particular, solutions covered include but are not limited to Sqoop, HCatalog, Talend, FRIL, Amazon S3, maprfs, GFS, HDFS, Hadoop, HBase, Cassandra, CouchDB, Hive, Neo4J, HiveQL, Pig Latin, Jaql, Impala, Drill/Dremel, ElasticSearch, Solr, Cloudera Search and Blur. We use the Canvas Learning Management system. You will have an online training class with our Director for Online Learning. The class caps at 35. Salary for an instructor with a Ph.D degree is $6,142; for a masters degree: $5,149; payable at the end. If interested please send a resume and outline how your background and experience would work well for this topic to me at: hsuanwei.chen at sjsu.edu. Thanks for considering it.

From ola.pilerot at hb.se Wed Sep 30 06:41:32 2015 From: ola.pilerot at hb.se (Ola Pilerot) Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2015 12:41:32 +0200 Subject: [Asis-l] =?utf-8?q?DiXiT_fellowship_in_Bor=C3=A5s=3A_Digital_scho?= =?utf-8?q?larly_editing_and_memory?= Message-ID: <560BD87C02000058000190DD@gwis1.adm.hb.se> Senior researcher fellowship: "Digital scholarly editing and memory institutions" The Swedish School of Library and Information Science (SSLIS) at the University of Bor?s (http://www.hb.se/en/), Sweden, is offering a Marie Curie funded fellowship for an Experienced Researcher in the DiXiT project (Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network, http://dixit.uni-koeln.de). The position is full-time, with a fixed-term employment for 12 months, starting March 1 2016, and located at SSLIS. Description: The study of this Experienced Researcher project aims to critically explore the range of measures and methods for establishing trustworthiness, quality parameters and authenticity of digital reproductions in libraries and archives, particularly by looking at cases where levels and measures are negotiated between such memory institutions and external agents hired to perform parts of the process. The results of such negotiations might have significant bearing on the value of the digitized resource, and the level of post-processing work, use and re-use that can be performed with the digitized material within digital edition projects and other scholarly work. How and to what extent are these measures and methods maintained consistently throughout projects versus being renegotiated, possibly affecting the scholarly value of the digitized resource? Formal requirements: Within DiXiT, the applicant for the position of Senior Researcher must: - be in possession of a doctoral degree or have at least four years of full-time equivalent research experience. - also have less than five years of full-time equivalent research experience. - be fluent in English. There is also a mobility rule within the DiXiT project which means that the applicant of the position as Senior Researcher at SSLIS must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies etc) in the country of his/her host organization (Sweden) for more than 12 months in 3 years immediately prior to his/her recruitment. Short stays, such as holidays, are not taken into account. Professional qualifications: - Relevant doctoral degree (or at least four years of research experience, see above) - Prior experience with digitization, digital scholarship, scholarly editing. Application deadline: December 1, 2015 Full position announcement and instructions for applicants can be found at http://www.hb.se/en/About-UB/Work-at-UB/ (scroll down and select ?Senior Researcher DiXit?).
