A user's understanding of the information need and the overall task develops as he or she interacts with the system. Supporting the various stages of this task involves many aspects of the system, e.g. interface features, presentation of information, retrieving and ranking. The Supporting Complex Search Tasks workshop (SCST 2017) aims at creating and fostering an interdisciplinary forum where researchers can exchange ideas about alternative experiments and prototypes, and contribute to the development of a research agenda in supporting complex search tasks. ------------------ Topics of interest ------------------ We invite position papers addressing open research questions related to: * Context: What are the obvious use cases and applications of complex search? * Tasks: What are essential features of work tasks and search tasks to take into account? * Heterogeneous sources: With a multitude of information, varying from introductory to specialized, and from authoritative to speculative or opinionated, when to show what sources of information? * Search process: How does the information seeking process evolve and what are relevant differences between different stages? * UI/UX: What affordances are required and in what stage of the search process? How can we make the search process transparent to the user? How and when does the initiative shift between system and user? * Evaluation: How do we evaluate and compare approaches? Which measures should be taken into account? ------ Format ------ This is a workshop proper where discussion is central, and all attendees are active participants. We will start the workshop with a full round of introductions of all participants, making everyone feel welcome and part of the workshop. Then, the workshop continues with two short keynotes by keynote from academia to be confirmed and keynote from industry to be confirmed to set the stage and ensure all attendees are on the same page. Next, we will have presentations of contributed papers, with each paper getting a 1-minute boaster and a poster presentation in an interactive poster session. There will be 3-4 breakout groups seeded from the open research questions (see Goals) and the contributed papers, each group thoroughly prepared by a chair who guides the discussion, with examples from relevant IR evaluation campaigns such as the TREC Session and Tasks Tracks and the SBS Interactive and Suggestion Tracks, and from concrete examples of complex support systems with their UX and UI challenges. The breakout groups will report to the audience and a panel of experts, with continued discussion on what we learned, concrete plans for the next year, and a roadmap for the longer term. The discussion will continue during a social event, where the discussion will continue in a more informal way over food and drinks, deep into the Oslo night. The organizers have gained a proud reputation for their open and inclusive workshops, leading to new research collaborations, other workshops, and new evaluation tracks. The results will be disseminated in various ways: * A high quality, peer reviewed workshop proceedings, published in the CEUR workshop proceedings series (http://ceur-ws.org/). * A report on the results of the workshop in the ACM SIGIR Forum of June 2017. * Depending on the outcome, we will consider a special issue in an appropriate journal. * Last, but not least, the results can be fed into the running tracks at TREC, CLEF, and other evaluation campaigns. -------- Audience -------- The workshop will bring together a varied group of researchers?bridging CHI and IR in a natural way?with experience covering both user- and system-centered approaches, to work together on the problem and potential solutions, and identify the barriers to success and work on ways of addressing them. Authors can submit both research and position papers. Papers can be 2+1 pages max., with 2 pages of narrative text and an additional page for tables/figures/notes/references. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed in a double-blind review process. --------------- Important dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline: February 1, 2017 * Notification of acceptance: February 20, 2017 * Camera-ready deadline: March 1, 2017 * SCST 2017 Workshop: March 11, 2017 ---------- Organizers ---------- * Nick Belkin (Rutgers University) * Toine Bogers (Aalborg University Copenhagen) * Diane Kelly (University of Tennessee) * Jaap Kamps (University of Amsterdam) * Marijn Koolen (Huygens ING) * Emine Yilmaz (University College London) For further questions, please contact a member of the organizing committee.

Please forward to interested colleagues and > other listservs. > Call for proposals Advances in Library Administration and Organization Project Management in the Library Workplace Publication due 2018 Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Peninsula College Volume Editor: Alice Daugherty, Louisiana State University Libraries Many works have been published on ?how to do project management? in librarianship, but there are gaps in coverage of the deeper issues and surrounding processes. For example, what methods have been successfully used, in the library workplace, to assess efficacy of project management? What are the future trends and implications for library administration and management as formal project management schema become more commonplace in library work? How do these formal schemas demonstrably affect and improve library workplaces? For this forthcoming volume we welcome submissions that consider how project management affects library administration and that address the role of project management in the library workplace. Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest: ? Assessments of project management approaches ? Integration of project management processes and procedures within libraries ? Project leadership in libraries and future trends ? Project management education and certification for library workers This will be the first volume of *Advances in Library Administration and Organization* (ALAO) to publish in 2018. About the Advances in Library Administration and Organization series *ALAO* offers long-form research, comprehensive discussions of theoretical developments, and in-depth accounts of evidence-based practice in library administration and organization. The series answers the questions, ?How have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?? It goes beyond a platform for the sharing of research to provide a venue for dialogue across issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed journals cannot. Through this series, practitioners can glean new approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of scholarly solutions to professional quandaries. How to submit We are currently seeking proposals for the 2018 volume on project management in the library workplace. If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please send a proposal including author details and estimated length of final submission to Alice Daugherty at adaugher at lsu.edu by February 28, 2017. *Submission deadlines* Submission deadline for proposals: Feb. 28, 2017 Notification of acceptance sent by: March 31, 2017 Submission deadline for full chapters: May 31, 2017 Comments returned to authors: July 31, 2017 Submission deadline for chapter revisions: August 31, 2017 From fcunning at kent.edu Thu Jan 5 10:10:00 2017 From: fcunning at kent.edu (Cunningham, Flo) Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2017 15:10:00 +0000 Subject: [Asis-l] Tenure-Track Faculty Position at Kent State's iSchool In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: The Kent State University School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) is seeking exceptional candidates for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor (subject to University approval). * Complete position description and application; search for position #000112 We are most interested in a candidate who can capitalize on our school's strengths and extend our coverage into new areas of information studies via new and emerging combinations of content areas.

Generously funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the program will run four competitions from Jan 2017 to September 2018, and will award a total of $2.3 Million. PILOT CALL: Audiotape at Risk DEADLINE: March 3, 2017 To help develop guidelines and review criteria for the new regranting program, CLIR is issuing a pilot call for proposals in partnership with NEDCC. The pilot call will focus only on the reformatting of magnetic and digital audio media (open reel, DAT, and cassette tapes) to be digitized through NEDCC's expanded audio preservation service. CLIR will convene an independent review panel to assess proposals. After the review in May 2017, CLIR will disburse a total of $150,000, in awards ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. [Institutions with large collections may want to use this initial funding to propose a pilot project for their collection, which would provide a confident basis for a future "Digitizing Hidden Collections" grant application to complete the entire collection.] OPEN COMPETITIONS: Audio and/or Audiovisual Media at Risk DEADLINES: June 2017, December 2017, and May 2018 CLIR will then launch a series of three open competitions for audio and/or audiovisual digitization, disbursing $2.15 million in funds over two years. Awards from the open competitions will range from $10,000 to $50,000 and will cover costs of preservation reformatting for audio and/or audiovisual content by eligible institutions working independently or with qualified service providers. CLIR's review panelists will assess: Potential scholarly and public impact of proposed projects; urgency of undertaking the reformatting to avoid risk of loss; viability of applicants' plans for long-term preservation; and overall cost-effectiveness of the proposals. CLIR and NEDCC will hold an informational webinar for prospective applicants on January 12 at 2:00 pm Eastern time.

Collaborative search is also known as a social process in which users leverage from other users? interactions and social signals (e.g., bookmarks and annotations). While a follow on from our previous workshop, this workshop has two distinguishing and novel elements: (i) a specific focus on social IR and collaborative IR evaluation, bridging the gap within this space, and (ii) we provide datasets, tools and new tasks for participants and others to undertake evaluations and explore this space (download from http://www.irit.fr/ECol2017/resources.php ). SCOPE AND TOPICS (non exhaustive list) * Evaluation - Studies on collective relevance judging. - Studies of collaborative behavior applicable to evaluation. - Simulation vs. log-studies vs. user-studies for collaborative search. - Evaluation of single vs. collaborative search session. - Novel or extended traditional evaluation measures, test collections, methodologies of operational evaluation. - Evaluation Concerns and Issues: Reliability, Repeatability, Reproducibility, Replicability. * Tasks - Exploratory search (knowledge acquisition, multi-faceted search) - Recommending social collaborators (experts, answerers, sympathizers) - Collaborative ranking on social platforms - Collaborative intent understanding * Application - Medical CIS/CIR - Legal CIS/CIR - E-science and digital libraries ========================================================= PAPER SUBMISSION AND GUIDELINES - Research papers: both theoretical and practical research papers are welcome from both research and industrial communities addressing the main conference topic (evaluation framework), but will also consider related aspects including models, methods, techniques and, examples of CIS/CIR in theory and in practice. Authors have the opportunity to: - Use their own datasets/tools to propose an evaluation framework for the identified tasks. - Use the provided datasets/tools to propose an eval- uation framework for a task they have identified. - Propose an evaluation framework without support of datasets/tools for a task we/they have identified. - Designing possible tasks (with/without proposing models and evaluation frameworks) on provided or their own datasets - Collection papers: We are also seeking papers describing test collections usable for the experimental evaluation of contributions related to CIS/CIR. The collection should be publicly available and different from previously available collections and data sets and allowing to investigate a variety of research questions that could rise from CIS/CIR challenges. The submissions will be peer reviewed (double blind) and should be no longer than 4 pages in the ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates ). The papers should be submitted online through the EasyChair workshop submission system at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecol2017 . All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the workshop program committee. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present the paper. All accepted papers will be required to be published on ArXiv, and might be submitted elsewhere. The ECol 2017 website will however refer to the published ArXiv papers. ========================================================= IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: January 27 2017 Notification of Acceptance: February 20, 2017 Camera-Ready papers due: March 1, 2017 Workshop: March 11, 2017 ========================================================= ORGANIZERS Leif Azzopardi, School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow - UK (Leif.Azzopardi at glasgow.ac.uk ) Jeremy Pickens, Catalyst Repository Systems - USA (jpickens at catalystsecure.com ) Chirag Shah, Rutgers University - USA (chirags at rutgers.edu ) Laure Soulier, LIP6 - Pierre and Marie Curie University, France?

The dg.o 2017 conference will be hosted by the City University of New York, College of Staten Island Campus, NY, June 7--9, 2017. The dg.o conference is an established forum for presentation, discussion, and demonstration of interdisciplinary research on digital government, political participation, civic engagement, and the impact of technology and innovation on government and governance. Each year the conference brings together scholars recognized for the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of their work, their contributions to theory (rigor) and practice (relevance), and their focus on important and timely topics. The conference program combines: - Keynote and track presentations and discussions on new research on digital government at the intersections of information technology research, social and behavioral science research, and the challenges and missions of government. - Presentations of effective partnerships and collaborations among government professionals and agencies, university researchers, relevant businesses, and NGOs, as well as grassroots citizen groups, to advance the practice of digital government. - A showcase of digital government projects, implementations, and initiatives that bring together the research and practitioner communities, demonstrate the effectiveness and/or challenges of digital government and offer best practices. JOINT EVENT WITH INTELLIGENT COMMUNITY FORUM Two global communities, the Digital Government Society (DGS) and the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), will partner in June 2017 to build new bridges between research and practice, with a shared goal of creating new interdisciplinary, multi-sector partnerships within the world's communities focused on innovation. Both DGS and the ICF have convened respective communities in cities all around the world. This year they are bringing their communities together in New York to share knowledge, allow each group to network at a deeper level and explore new partnerships to advance urban and rural innovation. On June 7, 2017, the DGS and ICF's representatives will host the joint program at the City University of New York Staten Island campus for the ICF's annual Summit and the dg.o conference. For one day, members of both communities will present a set of joint and complementary sessions that provide attendees with a chance to hear from global leaders from across the world's leading regions, cities and towns. Attendees will participate in master classes and workshops, and seek to build collaborations focused on advancing the scholarship, policy and practice of urban and rural innovation. The capstone of the collaboration of these two communities will be the announcement of the world's Top7 intelligent communities at a joint reception in Manhattan on the evening of June 7th. THEMES AND TRACK TOPICS The 18th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research will feature the main theme of Innovations and Transformations in Government. Technological advances, such as big data and collective intelligence, together with policy innovations including open government, open data, and the creation of new public data labs have been a catalyst for disruptive innovations in government, causing radical re-thinking of the traditional assumptions and expectations regarding how governments should function. Public goods and services once considered exclusively the responsibility of government agencies are now often initiated and produced through collaborations with citizens, non-profits, and/or private sector partners. The conference theme will highlight challenges and solutions in harnessing innovations and transformations in government. Innovative designs in all aspects of government, including people, services, data, policy, governance, collaboration, and democracy, require leadership talent, creative ideas and implementation strategies, and clear success criteria for evaluating solutions. We welcome research and practice contributions from around the world on the topics including but not limited to innovation strategies, policy innovations, citizen services, engagement innovations, and data-driven decision innovations that address various current societal, environmental and economic challenges, across all the eight tracks below. Each track will accept full research papers as well as research in progress, management case studies and policy papers. Panel, tutorial, workshop, poster and demonstration proposals are also invited. Each conference element has co-chairs who are responsible for managing the submission and review process for their track. Feel free to contact track chairs for guidance as necessary. Track 1. Social Media and Government Track Chairs: Andrea Kavanaugh (kavan at cs.vt.edu) and Rodrigo Sandoval The use of social media has been growing rapidly and globally. Governments at all levels have been using microblogs, such as Twitter, and social network sites, such as Facebook, among other platforms and tools for public administration and outreach to citizens. Citizens, businesses and voluntary associations have been using these tools and affordances to share information, ask questions, and compete or collaborate on problem solving within and among neighborhoods, industries, states, and nations. The growing use of social media has created new challenges and opportunities for many users such as changes in regulations and policies, marketing, highly diverse perspectives, and feedback. Analysis of communication behavior, messages, and systems and institutions, should contribute to our knowledge of the ways these media are affecting collective problem solving and public policy development. Future trends in social media and government point to new synergies, as well as disruptions, among public agencies and users. This track welcomes research and practice papers addressing a range of similar or related topics on social media analysis on content, metrics, case studies or theoretical models to advance this area of research. Track 2. Organizational Factors, Adoption Issues and Digital Government Impacts Track chairs: Jing Zhang (jizhang at clarku.edu), Yu-Che Chen, and Lei Zheng Public organizations employ information and communication technologies (ICT) to facilitate communication and transactions with many stakeholders in public and private sectors. The adoption and implementation of new ICT by public organizations is influenced by organizational factors such as the availability of resources (i.e. funding, technological knowledge, and personnel), leadership, trust, organization's technological culture, as well as inter-organizational dynamics. Similarly, the adoption of ICT in government and society has generated important impacts on the organizational effectiveness, efficiency, and innovativeness of public organizations. This track solicits research that examines the organizational factors that influence the adoption and implementation of new ICT as well as the impact of new ICT. Research papers in this track examine the adoption, use, and organizational impacts of a variety of innovative technologies and policies or practices that include but are not limited to social media, citizen-centric technologies, virtual collaboration, open data, big data, and modeling tools. Track 3. Opening Government: From Open Data Infrastructures to Collaboration Track chairs: Marijn Janssen (m.f.w.h.a.janssen at tudelft.nl), Vishanth Weerakkody, and Adegboyega Ojo Governments are utilizing the Internet to achieve an open, transparent and accountable government while providing responsive services. This extensive transformation is required both within the government and in the way governments engage with the public. The opening and sharing of data, the deployment of tools and instruments to engage the public, collaboration amongst public organizations and between governments and the public are important drivers for realizing these goals. Governments initiate open data portals, develop apps, and open more data to engage with the public to create more value. To successfully achieve this vision, fundamental changes in practice and new research on governments as open systems are needed. Successful cases, measurement instruments, information sharing, adoption, stakeholder analysis and theoretical models and frameworks are necessary to advance this field. In particular, this track solicits papers addressing the issue of public sector transformation achieved through open government, collaboration amongst actors and information sharing within and between public and private organizations. Track 4. Smart Cities, Smart Citizens, Smart Governments Track chairs: Sehl Mellouli (sehl.mellouli at fsa.ulaval.ca), Yigal Arens The slogan "Smart Cities, Smart Citizens, Smart Governments" refers to the promise of using linked and intertwined technologies to create innovative and intelligent solutions to life in a city that will result not only in operational efficiency, but also in government transformation through co-creative governance. Topics for this track include but are not limited to: Applications and collaborations based on the "internet of things"; Smart sensors; Big data analytics; The Civic Technology Movement, and Intercity and intergovernmental collaborations; Intelligent solutions for cities and governments. Descriptions of research and development efforts that demonstrate advances in technology and/or policy innovations in the areas of energy, transportation, health, education, public safety, structures, natural environment, and business, are all welcome, as are related issues of cybersecurity and privacy, community-based infrastructure resilience, urban informatics and governance. Track 5. Cybersecurity and Government Track Chairs: Loni Hagen (lonihagen at usf.edu), Hun-Yeong Kwon, Wookjoon Sung and Soon Ae Chun Increasing threats of domestic and international cyber-attacks, and growing dependencies on inter-connected cyberspace, require a need for national and global collaborations to develop secure and resilient cyber infrastructure. This track focuses on technical, policy and social dimensions of cyber security research, including theoretical and empirical models and frameworks, to address ever-expanding cyber security challenges. Topics include but not limited to: information security in e-government, cybercrimes, cyber incident response, critical infrastructure protection, national and global information sharing, surveillance and privacy, cryptography policy governance, security governance and strategies, civil engagement and public awareness. We also invite domain-specific cases and innovative approaches on security challenges, cybernational defence, private/public joint efforts, and education, such as workforce training and retention. Track 6. Beyond Bureaucracy, Co-Producing Governance & New Models of Governance Track Chairs: Alois Paulin (alois at apaulin.com) and Leonidas Anthopoulos The Beyond Bureaucracy track aims to outline and discuss challenges along the boundaries of society, technology, and governance, which reach beyond established e-governance research paths and priorities. Where well-established e-government / e-governance research ambitions focus on providing and/or studying technology that supports the work and mission of government agencies and governmental agents (incremental innovation), Beyond Bureaucracy addresses the question how radical technological innovation transforms the power of citizens and the conceptual sovereign body to actively control (rather than passively observe and follow) government agencies and governmental agents. The Beyond Bureaucracy track invites contributions that discuss pending technological (design science) challenges, promotes the economic potentials of disruptive new technological ecosystems, and serves as a platform for pro/con deliberations on Beyond Bureaucracy thought and knowledge. Research keywords includes but not limited to: Liquid Democracy, Informating Governance, e-Anarchy, Participatory Budgeting & Bottom-Up Excise, Non-Bureaucratic Government, etc. Track 7. Participatory Democracy Track Chairs: Claudia Cappelli (claudia.cappelli at uniriotec.br), Cristiano Maciel, Jos? Viterbo Filho E-participation comprises the use of information and communication technologies to broaden and deepen political participation by enabling citizens to connect with one another and with their elected representatives. It can lead to new methods of producing public policies and services that contrast with transaction-based methods of service delivery, in which citizens consume public services solely conceived and provided by governments. In the novel coproduction-based approaches, citizens are not only consulted but are part of the conception, design, steering, and management of public policies and services. Hence, this track focuses on e-participation approaches that instrument Participatory Democracy, supporting cooperation among citizens and governments on regular basis. Its major topics will discuss strategies, methods, techniques and tools that can contribute to the coproduction of public services. Track 8. Open Government Data Policies & Politics Track chairs: Boyi Li (b.li at exeter.ac.uk) and Kyung Ryul Park A growing body of literature has been focused on the benefits, motivations, as well as best practices to adopt open data in government sectors. Many theorizing efforts regard institutional structures as critical barriers to promote open innovation paradigm in public sector. In this track, we discuss the impact and change of these institutional structures by inviting research papers that examine open data initiatives as either government policies or politics. The policy lens critically analyses the policy documents and reveals how open data policies are drafted, interpreted, and implemented in a specific context. The politics lens is mainly concerned with the power relations between the state, civil society, and business. It leads to a critical reflection on the agenda of open data movement in the context of power structures of informational capitalism. Therefore, we particularly welcome the content and discourse analysis of open data documents, and the storytelling of government-business collaboration in open data innovations. Panels Chair: Teresa Harrison Panel proposals may address themes or topics related to any of the tracks for the conference. Additionally, we welcome panel proposals that put a spotlight on practice and application. Proposals from practitioners at all levels of government featuring experiences with, perspectives on, and evaluations of digital government practice are encouraged. Individuals interested in submitting panel proposals are invited to consult the panel co-chairs about their ideas prior to developing their submissions. Please send expressions of interest for panel development to Teresa Harrison (tharrison at albany.edu). Poster and Demonstration Poster and Demo Chair: Kellyton dos Santos Brito and Murray Scott The poster session, held in conjunction with the system demonstrations, allows presenters to discuss research in progress, application projects, or government policies and program initiatives in one-to-one conversations with other participants at the conference. PUBLICATIONS All accepted management or policy papers, research papers, student papers, panels, posters, and system demonstrations will be published in the printed proceedings and included in the ACM digital library and the DBLP bibliography system. Selected papers will be invited for a journal special issue. BEST PAPER AWARDS Outstanding achievement awards will be presented in the categories Research papers, Management, Case Study and Policy papers, Posters, and System demonstrations. Papers that reflect the main theme of the conference, Innovations and Transformations in Government, will be preferred. Other selection criteria include the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of the work, its contribution to and balance between theory (rigor) and practice (relevance), the importance and reach of the topic, and the quality of the writing for communicating to a broad audience.

One cause of the failures of ICT4D projects is related to the shortcomings in field research. Field research primarily involves data collection, and often attempts to understand someone else's experience. The high failure rates of ICT4D projects call for fundamentally new ways to tackle the challenges experienced by researchers and practitioners when planning and conducting ICT4D field research in the developing and developed world. This minitrack invites researchers and practitioners to share and analyze their success stories, failures, mistakes, and advice, which would gather momentum for a global discussion on better managing ICT4D field research, furthering the larger goal of socioeconomic and human development of marginalized communities across the world. Suggested Topics The following topics suggested for the proposed minitrack will help the "ICTs in Global Development" track serve as a forum for research on the use and diffusion of ICTs and associated practices across the world. * Failure stories in ICT4D fieldwork: Reflection and analysis; What went wrong? Why? Solutions? * Dynamic inter-relationship between contextual factors (e.g., policy frameworks, environmental conditions, culture, etc.), research methods, researchers, and local assistants in ICT4D field research * Open data, big data, and real-time data in the context of ICT4D field research across the world * Innovative applications of data collection techniques like participatory rural appraisal, image formation, etc. * Innovative process-based and technology-driven solutions to capture, store, and process textual, numeric, audiovisual, and tactile data in ICT4D fieldwork * Issues related to data security, privacy, ethics, copyrights, and intellectual property * Theory development: Extending theories like design-reality gap, innovation management framework, etc. * Applications of theoretical perspectives from anthropology, human-computer interaction, computer science, information science, information systems, etc. for better managing ICT4D field research * Managing scope, time, cost, quality, HR, communication, and risks related to ICT4D field projects * Workforce development and training programs for conducting successful ICT4D field research * Applications of emerging technologies like Near Field Communication, Monitoring & Evaluation tools, Social Media Analytics Cloud, RFID, Biometric Identification, etc. to manage ICT4D field research * Applications of analytical systems like automated decision support systems, real-time performance dashboard, etc. for capturing data in the field (frontend) to make real-time decisions in the backend * What can ICT4D field research in the developing and developed world learn from each other?

This book describes OCLC's contributions to the transformation of the Internet from a web of documents to a Web of Data. As many in the library community have acknowledged, the new Web is a growing 'cloud' of interconnected resources that identify the things people want to know about when they approach the Internet with an information need. The linked data paradigm is a promising framework for delivering on this promise that is achieving critical mass just as it has become clear that library standards for resource description are nearing obsolescence. In 2015, the authors of the book reported on the technical details underlying the publication of RDF datasets extracted from MARC bibliographic and authority records in WorldCat, VIAF, FAST, and the Dewey Decimal Classification. Taken together, these resources represent some of the oldest, largest, and most widely used RDF datasets published to date by the library sector. But these projects are only a start, a technical proof of concept. Going forward, the transformation to linked data will encourage librarians extend their focus from legacy conversion to original description, and to create better models of resources not described well in MARC This is an opportunity as well as a challenge. This presentation gives an update on OCLC's linked data experiments since the book was published nearly two years ago. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Menou Dear Readers of tripleC, Please find below the table of contents of tripleC, Volume 14/No. 2 (and of Volume 14/No. 1 in a separate e-mail). tripleC has in 2016 published 33 articles on a total of 515 pages, including the special issue "The Materiality of the Immaterial: ICTs and the Digital Commons" (guest-edited by ndreas Roos, Vasilis Kostakis, Christos Giotitsas). tripleC is in 2017 entering its 15th year of publication. In a world ever more dominated by the nasty politics of capitalism, nationalism and right-wing extremism, it is essential that critical voices are present in academia. tripleC is dedicated to making such voices heard and to fostering anti-capitalist critical inquiry. tripleC in 2017 supports and helps organising the conference " Digital Objects, Digital Subjects: An Interdisciplinary Symposium on Activism, Research & Critique in the Age of Big Data Capitalism (The 6th ICTs and Society Conference)" that will take place on May 20 and 21 at the University of Westminster in London. It will be a large symposium with the following speakers: Antonio Negri, Jodi Dean, Antoinette Rouvroy, Christian Fuchs, David Chandler, Etienne Turpin, Jack Qiu, Kylie Jarrett, Orit Halpern, Paolo Gerbaudo Registration is possible from now on: http://icts-and-society.net/events/digital-objects-digital-subjects-a-symposium-on-activism-research-critique-in-the-age-of-big-data-capitalism-the-6th-icts-society-conference/ Since 2016 (Vol 14), tripleC is indexed in the Emerging Sources Citations Index, a citation index that is part of Web of Science. In 2017, tripleC will continue to accept articles in its general peer-reviewed section and its reflection section. In addition, given the world political situation, it features from now on over the whole year 2017 a special political-interventionist section titled "Critical Theory Interventions on Authoritarianism and Right-Wing Extremist Ideology in Contemporary Capitalism" (editorial responsibilty: Christian Fuchs), for which it considers and invites submissions that are interventionist pieces based on and politically applying critical theories. tripleC will in 2017 also publish two special issues: * "From Global Justice to Occupy and Podemos: Mapping Three Stages of Contemporary Activism" - guest editors: Peter Funke, Paolo Gerbaudo, Emiliano Trer?, Todd Wolfson * Academic Labour, Digital Media and Capitalism - guest editors: Thomas Allmer, Ergin Bulut -------------- tripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique.

One critical take-away from the last workshop was that application of neuro-physiological (NP) experimental methodologies in IIR research studies is promising but highly challenging. The 2017 workshop has three broad aims: 1) Develop a foundational knowledge of appropriate methods or adapting experimental methods in IIR that permit execution of a large range of information seeking tasks, while wearing specialized devices or being inside scanning equipment. 2) Gain a deeper and clearer understanding of the wide variety of parameters that are essential to operating the NP equipment and tuning them for particular types of information interaction events. 3) A related aim is to gain insights regarding a set of well-known NP modalities/devices and related parameters, so that they could be potentially combined to study complex information seeking phenomena. Submissions: ============== We invite submissions that may include the following topics: * findings from completed IR/IIR research that utilized neuro-physiological tools; * research questions in IR/IIR that are likely to benefit from NP methods; * comparative analysis of NP tools and techniques with their applications in IR/IIR; * data fusion methods that support combination of NP data with traditional IR/IIR data; In all types of submissions we ask the authors to describe some of the following: * how IIR research protocols were (or will be) modified to allow for use of NP tools; * why NP modalities (one or more) were selected for use in IIR research; * what lessons were learned from using NP tools in IIR research; We invite submissions in two categories: 1. papers describing completed research or methodological contributions (up to 4 pages) 2. work-in-progress - short report papers (up to 2 pages). ). The accepted WIPs would need to be submitted in poster format for poster-session presentation during the workshop. The neuro-cognitive and physiological tools of interest include, but are not limited to, fMRI, fNIRS, EEG, MEG, eye-tracking. Submission guidelines: ====================== All submitted papers must be written in English; * contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses; * be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings template ( http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) with a font size no smaller than 9pt; * be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any platform), and formatted for US Letter size. * papers should be submitted in EasyChair to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=neuroiir2017 * paper submission deadline: January 12, 2017 * Accepted papers will be published in workshop proceedings at CEUR-WS.org * Workshop attendees will be encouraged to submit manuscripts to a special issue on Neuro-Information Science to be published by Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST).

I am excited to announce a half-day workshop at IDCC17 on Educating Information Professionals and Researchers in Research Data Management. * When: Thursday afternoon, February 23, 2017 * Workshop organisers: Dr. Helen R. Tibbo, Alumni Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Robin Rice, Data Librarian (Mantra Service), University of Edinburgh; William Kilbride, Executive Director, DPC. * Description: This workshop aims to present brief overviews of key international RDM education efforts with a synthesizing overview of research progress in this area. Helen Tibbo will report on "Research Data Management and Sharing." the MOOC (Massively Open Online Course), produced by the CRADLE project-- (cradle.web.unc.edu) - and the University of Edinburgh's MANTRA (datalib.edina.ac.uk/mantra) program. CRADLE is an IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services)-funded project undertaken by the School of Information and Library Science and the Odum Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. CRADLE partnered with MANTRA to produce a MOOC that is relevant to librarians, archivists, and other information professionals tasked with research data management and preservation as well as to researchers themselves. This is the first international MOOC on data management, curation, and preservation and can be found at: https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-management. Tibbo will also report on a project to provide disciplinary data profiles to support the MOOC and make it more relevant to researchers in a number of fields. Robin Rice will provide an update on MANTRA and RDM efforts at the University of Edinburgh, reflect on her experience with the Coursera MOOC, and discuss how this tool might be enhanced for librarians and especially researchers. William Kilbride will talk about the DPC's "Getting Started" and "Making Progress" workshop series and discuss how fundamental preservation concepts are essential to RDM plans and training and lead the panel in a discussion of where RDM education is, how far it has come, and where it needs to go. These presentations will provide the audience with a starting point for breakout sessions. Breakout groups will discuss questions that may include but are not limited to: * How do you handle data training at your institution? * How do (or could) you mix online and face to face resources? * How do (or could) you collaborate across your institution to deliver training? * What are your professional needs in RDM (education for librarians/archivists)? * What tools would make your researcher support for RDM easier and more effective? * What lessons have you learned from working with research on their RDM needs? * The Target Audiences for this workshop are individuals who are 1) librarians/archivists supporting researchers in RDM; 2) RDM educators; and 3) researchers interested in learning about RDM training opportunities. Hope to see you in Edinburgh! -Helen Dr. Helen R.

One critical take-away from the last workshop was that application of neuro-physiological (NP) experimental methodologies in IIR research studies is promising but highly challenging. The 2017 workshop has three broad aims: 1) Develop a foundational knowledge of appropriate methods or adapting experimental methods in IIR that permit execution of a large range of information seeking tasks, while wearing specialized devices or being inside scanning equipment. 2) Gain a deeper and clearer understanding of the wide variety of parameters that are essential to operating the NP equipment and tuning them for particular types of information interaction events. 3) A related aim is to gain insights regarding a set of well-known NP modalities/devices and related parameters, so that they could be potentially combined to study complex information seeking phenomena. Submissions: ============== We invite submissions that may include the following topics: * findings from completed IR/IIR research that utilized neuro-physiological tools; * research questions in IR/IIR that are likely to benefit from NP methods; * comparative analysis of NP tools and techniques with their applications in IR/IIR; * data fusion methods that support combination of NP data with traditional IR/IIR data; In all types of submissions we ask the authors to describe some of the following: * how IIR research protocols were (or will be) modified to allow for use of NP tools; * why NP modalities (one or more) were selected for use in IIR research; * what lessons were learned from using NP tools in IIR research; We invite submissions in two categories: 1. papers describing completed research or methodological contributions (up to 4 pages) 2. work-in-progress - short report papers (up to 2 pages). ). The accepted WIPs would need to be submitted in poster format for poster-session presentation during the workshop. The neuro-cognitive and physiological tools of interest include, but are not limited to, fMRI, fNIRS, EEG, MEG, eye-tracking. Submission guidelines: ====================== All submitted papers must be written in English; * contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses; * be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings template ( http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) with a font size no smaller than 9pt; * be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any platform), and formatted for US Letter size. * papers should be submitted in EasyChair to https://easychair.org/confe rences/?conf=neuroiir2017 * paper submission deadline: January 20, 2017 * Accepted papers will be published in workshop proceedings at CEUR-WS.org * Workshop attendees will be encouraged to submit manuscripts to a special issue on Neuro-Information Science to be published by Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST). Workshop Location: ==================== NeuroIR 2017 will take place in Oslo, Norway and will be held in conjunction with the 2nd Annual ACM CHIIR Conference.

The data is from a set of lab experiments conducted by Chirag Shah and Roberto Gonzalez-Ibanez at Rutgers University in 2010-2011. It contains interaction logs (queries, page visits, relevance judgments, and snippets collected) by a total of 160 participants in 80 teams, with each team working on an exploratory search task for about 30 minutes in a controlled lab setting. The data was collected using Coagmento (http://coagmento.org/ ). The dataset can be downloaded from http://infoseeking.org/data.php#cis2010 Following is a small selection of papers that use this data that one can cite. Shah, C., and Gonzalez-Ibanez, R. (2011).

NEDCC's expanded audio preservation service builds upon the Center's successful implementation of "IRENE," the IMLS-funded optical scanning technology developed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Library of Congress for digitizing grooved audio carriers. NEDCC is investing in the additional facilities, equipment, and staffing to offer reformatting of audio content on magnetic and other obsolete media using more traditional approaches. NEDCC acknowledges the generous support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for the expanded audio services. NEDCC's service will help fill a much-needed niche of providing 1:1 transfers with 100% quality control, particularly for those highly significant collections that deserve a specialized (rather than high-throughput) workflow. In addition to digitization, NEDCC will offer collection- and item-level surveys, cleaning, treatment, and re-housing using vetted and transparent (i.e., non-proprietary) approaches.

As the lead co-organizers of Art+Feminism, we?ve been deeply disturbed by the sheer amount of fake news on social media, and its influence on the recent US election. We believe this makes our work even more pressing. Now more than ever we must gather together to improve Wikipedia and affirm work of women, people of color, immigrants, the LGBTQIA+ community and other marginalized peoples. *HOW? *Hold an Edit-a-thon at your local university, artist run center, museum, community center, etc! Art+Feminism Edit-a-thons address content and participation gaps by inviting people of all gender identities and expressions to gather for communal updating of Wikipedia entries related to art and feminism. The leadership collective supports Edit-a-thon organizers by: providing an organizer?s kit with suggested workflow, promotional and training materials, and more; funding to defray the costs of refreshments and childcare; and training and support. *WHEN? *The 2017 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at The Museum of Modern Art, New York will take place on Saturday, March 11, 2017. Node events are welcome to hold their event on this day or any other date in March, 2017 that makes sense for your community.

Given the rapidly evolving nature of information science and technology, this leadership position presents a rare opportunity for a collaborative, strategic and visionary leader to help ASIS&T leverage its global membership for meaningful impact. Throughout its 80-year history, ASIS&T has been distinguished by its multidisciplinary and global nature and its ability to bridge the gap between information science research and practice. The association offers a wide variety of professional development and information resources to its members. The international headquarters is located in Silver Spring, MD; a short distance from Washington, DC. The board has approved an ambitious and multi-faceted strategic plan which, when fully implemented, will significantly strengthen and expand the association's global impact and reach. The next executive director will have the opportunity to execute the strategic plan, make its vision a reality and partner with the board to develop and implement ongoing strategies to ensure the vitality of the association. Implementation of the strategic plan will involve a wide range of initiatives focused on membership, programs, publications and communication, outreach and advocacy, and institutional knowledge. The ideal candidate will have a global perspective and appreciation for multicultural interaction, a record of accomplishment of bringing diverse individuals together toward a common goal; superb judgment and focus; the ability to set and implement an organizational vision; and exceptional communications skills, diplomacy and creativity. A background in information science and technology is an asset, not a requirement, but the ED must share a passion for the mission of ASIS&T. The Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) has retained the services of Isaacson, Miller, a national executive search firm, to assist in conducting this search.

June 2, 2017) Deadline for Submission: January 27, 2017 (The French and English CFPs are available here: http://cais-acsi.ca ) ------- The Warp & Weft of Knowledge: Information Threads Connecting Disciplines, Identities, and Perspectives The conference theme The Warp & Weft of Knowledge: Information Threads Connecting Disciplines, Identities and Perspectives reflects the broad cross-disciplinary nature of information science. Information science research focuses on how information is structured, represented, organized, disseminated, and accessed. More than this, it examines how information is embedded in our communities, institutions, and social lives. Information itself is all pervasive. It touches a myriad of disciplines, identities, and perspectives. As such, those of us who trace the ?red thread of information? within and across disciplinary boundaries are uniquely situated to observe how disciplinary and methodological terrains connect, overlap, contradict, and diverge as well as how various perspectives and paradigms are shaped and formed by information. Indeed, as noted by Marcia Bates in her well known 1999 article, The Invisible Substrate of Information, ?we always follow the information?. This year we are picking up on the Congress theme ?From Far and Wide: The Next 150? to emphasize not only the length and breadth of information studies throughout the years but also the places, far and wide, across which information science has travelled and from which we draw. The weaving metaphor relates to the red threads of information that not only connect various disciplines, identities, and perspectives but brings to light new ideas and approaches. Along with Canada?s 150th anniversary we also celebrate our past accomplishments and our hopes for the future. We want CAIS/ASCI 2017 to explore the interdisciplinarity of information studies, build on past research, and forge new paths for the future. We invite papers and proposals representing diverse themes and methods related (but not limited) to the above theme. Consider the following ideas: Collaboration and independence: Within IS contexts and beyond Differentiation and integration: Among groups, professionals, or on personal levels Papers representing methods drawn from other disciplines or mixed methods approaches New and innovative approaches to IS research Papers reflecting on the development and future of IS research Papers from a variety of perspectives: Institutional, social, and ethical Historical examinations of IS as a discipline We are also pleased to announce that Marcia Bates will give the opening keynote presentation on May 31, 2016. Dr. Bates has published widely in the areas of information system search strategy, user-centered design of information retrieval systems, organization of knowledge, information seeking behavior, and the nature of the information professions. We welcome proposals that explore or are directly influenced by Dr. Bates?s work. Call for proposals Proposals may be submitted in English or French. The conference committee strongly encourages submissions from professional and academic 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.

The objective of the conference is to revisit faceted analytical theory as a method for (re)constructing modern classifications and indexing languages and the role analytico-synthetic classifications have had in resource discovery and retrieval, from their introduction at the beginning of the 20th century to date. The conference will examine the challenges analytico-synthetic classifications represent for data modelling and interface design in the Web environment. Most importantly, it will explore potential fields of application for faceted classifications in information organization, visualization and presentation of large datasets, social networks and in the open linked data environment. High quality and innovative contributions are invited for the following topics: - The impact of faceted analytical theory and research on modern classification and indexing languages; - Data modelling, data management and data sharing of faceted and analytico-synthetic classifications; - Vocabulary mapping, semantic linking and natural language interfacing of analytico-synthetic systems; - Applications of faceted analytical theory on (re)constructing knowledge classifications and indexing languages; - End user interface design and user-friendly knowledge presentation for faceted systems; - Novel applications of faceted systems outside the bibliographic domain. CONTRIBUTIONS: Two kinds of contributions are invited: conference papers and posters. Authors should submit a paper proposal in the form of an extended abstract (1000-1200 words, including references, for papers; and 500-600 words for posters). The submission form is provided on the conference website. Proposals will be reviewed by the Programme Committee consisting of an international panel of experts. Each submission will undergo a blind review by at least three reviewers. The Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon Verlag and will be distributed at the conference.

This comprehensive overview of information about an item's creation, name, topic, features, and more updates NISO's 2004 advice on the subject and follows on the *Research Data Management * Primer published in 2015. An additional such work, *Linked Data for Cultural Institutions*, is forthcoming, and more guides will be published periodically. "It's crucial for NISO to build understanding of technical issues at various levels and for various audiences," says NISO Executive Director Todd Carpenter. "Our Primers are therefore written to provide guidance for expert information managers who are already working with metadata as well as for professionals who are less familiar with information exchange issues. NISO values the opportunity to offer this guidance," Carpenter continues, "because in a digital world, information about content can often be more important than the content itself. Without good metadata, information effectively disappears." The Primer, authored by Jenn Riley, Associate Dean, Digital Initiatives, McGill University Library, demystifies a type of information that is ubiquitous in our lives but that can be challenging to produce, store, and understand. Coverage includes topics such as metadata types, standardization, and use in the cultural heritage sector and in the broader world. The Primer is accompanied by plentiful examples of metadata at work. "I am honored to have been asked to update *Understanding Metadata*, a NISO resource that has been helpful to me throughout my career, when learning about metadata and teaching others about it," says Riley. "Much has changed in the area of cultural heritage metadata since the original publication of this resource in 2004. I hope that the introduction of some new concepts into the Primer, such as Linked Data, is useful to our community for many years to come." The NISO Primer *Understanding Metadata*, like its series companions, is licensed for reuse under a Creative Commons-BY-NC 4.0 license. It is available as a free download from the NISO website at: http://www.niso.org/ publications/press/understanding_metadata. *About NISO* NISO fosters the development and maintenance of standards that facilitate the creation, persistent management, and effective interchange of information so that it can be trusted for use in research and learning. To fulfill this mission, NISO engages libraries, publishers, information aggregators, and other organizations that support learning, research, and scholarship through the creation, organization, management, and curation of knowledge. NISO works with intersecting communities of interest and across the entire lifecycle of an information standard. NISO is a not-for-profit association accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). More information about NISO is available on its website: http://www.niso.org.

ARTICLE 1 Integrated Model of Affordable Housing Delivery for the City of Windhoek Isaac Okoth Randa (Namibia University of Science and Technology, Windhoek, Namibia) Limited access to affordable and decent housing for the low-medium income households of Namibia, especially in Windhoek, is a major concern. This is evident as nearly 70 percent of the population are unable to access affordable housing. This situation is exacerbated by lack of an integrated framework for affordable housing delivery strategy. Adopting an interpretivist perspective, in depth literature review of published records, and using hybrid value chain model; this paper aims to identify an effective and efficient strategy for the delivery of affordable housing in Windhoek through the application of the stakeholder approach. Also, the paper intends to determine the appropriate division of roles between public, private and community institutions, and to suggest possible policy interventions necessary for a viable affordable housing delivery strategy. Though several non-integrated initiatives are operational in Windhoek, the joint Public-Private-Social-Sector Partnership model represents a new business model in the affordable housing sector.

However, the research literature in particular lacks a simple and standardized way to examine the relationship between knowledge and power. There is a lack operational quantitative definitions of this relationship to adequately support the building of complex computational models used in addressing some longstanding public health and healthcare delivery issues like differential access to care, inequitable care and treatment, institutional bias, disparities in health outcomes, and eliminating barriers to patient-centered care. The objective of this discussion is to present a relational algorithm that can be used in both conceptual discussions on knowledge empowerment modeling, as well as in the building of computational models that want to explore the variable of knowledge empowerment within computer simulation experiments.

But what constitutes a smart city and what is purpose of this focus remains to be explored. Through in depth literature review and grounded approach this paper, appraises the genesis of smart city to develop a better understanding of urban problems. It explores how smart cities intend to relate the infrastructure, operational functioning, planning through management, control and optimization to ensure equity, fairness for realizing better quality of city life. The paper also attempts to review how informed participation creates shared knowledge for democratic governance. Anticipated paradigm shifts that will occur in this area of research and the expected impacts in developing and planning smart cities in general and in particular the steps being taken in India in development of smart cities is delved into.

We solicit participation from information studies as well as communities that work with physical samples--for example, earth sciences, biology, paleontology, hydrology, archeology--to make this workshop a success. The goal of this workshop is to bring together the community of researchers, curators, and practitioners who are interested in studying the issues involved in the management of samples, sample collections, and sample-based data in the field, in the lab, in repositories, in data systems and scholarly publications. The intention is to assemble the existing community of scholars and practitioners from both coasts of the Atlantic as well as invite those with emerging interests in this area. A secondary goal is to focus the attention of the information science community on the tremendous opportunities for research in this space and for collaborating with researchers in the Earth Sciences, broadly construed. Research in the Earth Science disciplines depends on the availability of representative samples collected above, at, and beneath Earth's surface, on the moon and in space, or those generated in experiments. These physical samples serve as fundamental references for generating new knowledge about the earth and contribute to a deeper understanding of the processes that created and shaped it, assess the availability of natural resources, and measure the risk of natural hazards. Many samples have been collected at great cost and with substantial difficulty, are rare or unique, and irreplaceable. TheEarthCube (http://www.earthcube.org) Research Coordination Network (RCN)iSamplES (Internet of Samples in the Earth Sciences) aims to advance the use of innovative cyberinfrastructure to connect physical samples and sample collections across the Earth Sciences with digital data infrastructures to revolutionize their utility in the support of science. Important dates --------------- * February 10: paper submissions due * February 12: Notification of acceptance * March 15: Submission of final, camera-ready papers * March 22: PSDC 2017 Workshop Topics ------ Presentations will address a broad range of issues and challenges at the intersection of Earth Science physical samples and information science that facilitate the data collection, management, and use of earth samples.

A user's understanding of the information need and the overall task develops as he or she interacts with the system. Supporting the various stages of this task involves many aspects of the system, e.g. interface features, presentation of information, retrieving and ranking. The Supporting Complex Search Tasks workshop (SCST 2017) aims at creating and fostering an interdisciplinary forum where researchers can exchange ideas about alternative experiments and prototypes, and contribute to the development of a research agenda in supporting complex search tasks. ------------------ Topics of interest ------------------ We invite position papers addressing open research questions related to: * Context: What are the obvious use cases and applications of complex search? * Tasks: What are essential features of work tasks and search tasks to take into account? * Heterogeneous sources: With a multitude of information, varying from introductory to specialized, and from authoritative to speculative or opinionated, when to show what sources of information? * Search process: How does the information seeking process evolve and what are relevant differences between different stages? * UI/UX: What affordances are required and in what stage of the search process? How can we make the search process transparent to the user? How and when does the initiative shift between system and user? * Evaluation: How do we evaluate and compare approaches? Which measures should be taken into account? ------ Format ------ This is a workshop proper where discussion is central, and all attendees are active participants. We will start the workshop with a full round of introductions of all participants, making everyone feel welcome and part of the workshop. Then, the workshop continues with two short keynotes by keynote from academia to be confirmed and keynote from industry to be confirmed to set the stage and ensure all attendees are on the same page. Next, we will have presentations of contributed papers, with each paper getting a 1-minute boaster and a poster presentation in an interactive poster session. There will be 3-4 breakout groups seeded from the open research questions (see Goals) and the contributed papers, each group thoroughly prepared by a chair who guides the discussion, with examples from relevant IR evaluation campaigns such as the TREC Session and Tasks Tracks and the SBS Interactive and Suggestion Tracks, and from concrete examples of complex support systems with their UX and UI challenges. The breakout groups will report to the audience and a panel of experts, with continued discussion on what we learned, concrete plans for the next year, and a roadmap for the longer term. The discussion will continue during a social event, where the discussion will continue in a more informal way over food and drinks, deep into the Oslo night. The organizers have gained a proud reputation for their open and inclusive workshops, leading to new research collaborations, other workshops, and new evaluation tracks. The results will be disseminated in various ways: * A high quality, peer reviewed workshop proceedings, published in the CEUR workshop proceedings series (http://ceur-ws.org/). * A report on the results of the workshop in the ACM SIGIR Forum of June 2017. * Depending on the outcome, we will consider a special issue in an appropriate journal. * Last, but not least, the results can be fed into the running tracks at TREC, CLEF, and other evaluation campaigns. -------- Audience -------- The workshop will bring together a varied group of researchers?bridging CHI and IR in a natural way?with experience covering both user- and system-centered approaches, to work together on the problem and potential solutions, and identify the barriers to success and work on ways of addressing them. Authors can submit both research and position papers. Papers can be 2+1 pages max., with 2 pages of narrative text and an additional page for tables/figures/notes/references. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed in a double-blind review process. --------------- Important dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline: February 1, 2017 * Notification of acceptance: February 20, 2017 * Camera-ready deadline: March 1, 2017 * SCST 2017 Workshop: March 11, 2017 ---------- Organizers ---------- * Nick Belkin (Rutgers University) * Toine Bogers (Aalborg University Copenhagen) * Diane Kelly (University of Tennessee) * Jaap Kamps (University of Amsterdam) * Marijn Koolen (Huygens ING) * Emine Yilmaz (University College London) For further questions, please contact a member of the organizing committee.

Call for abstracts for *Data Power 2017* - Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada), June 22, 2017 ? June 23, 2017 - Please submit a 250 word abstract by *Friday 3rd February*: https://ocs.library.carleton.ca/index.php/datapower/datapower2017 Following the successful Data Power 2015 Conference held in Sheffield, Data Power 2017 will take forward critical debates relating to data?s ever more ubiquitous power. The following keynote speakers have been confirmed: - Helen Nissenbaum , New York University, co-author of Obfuscation: A User?s Guide to Privacy and Protest with Finn Brunton (2015), and PI of the Values in Design project; - Paul N.Edwards , University of Michigan, author of A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming (2010); - Stefania Milan , University of Amsterdam, author of *Social Movements and Their Technologies: Wiring Social Change* (2016), and PI of the DATACTIVE project; - Frank Pasquale , University of Maryland, author of *The Black Box Society: The Secret Algorithms that Control Money and Information *(2015). Increasingly pervasive in our daily lives, data are constituted through converging technologies and practices such as the internet of things, smart cities, drones and precision agriculture; global finance, credit scoring and data brokerage firms; surveillance, predictive policing and customer relation management systems, to name a few. Data are also generated by and flow through applications, software, platforms, and infrastructures that reshape how we play, work, eat, socialise, see ourselves, and know the world. In an era of data power, data have become agentic, especially when input into black-boxed algorithms and systems whose outputs are used to profile and sort us, influence the political economy, and for purposes for which no consent was given. Is this a 'fait accompli'? To answer this question, the Data Power 2017 conference asks: How can we reclaim some form of data-based power and autonomy, and advance data-based technological citizenship, while living in regimes of data power? Is it possible to regain agency and mobilize data for the common good? To do so, which theories help to interrogate and make sense of the operations of data power? What kind of design frameworks are needed to build and deploy data-based technologies with values and ethics that are equitable and fair? How can big data be mobilized to improve how we live, beyond notions of efficiency and innovation? This conference creates a space to reflect on these and other critical issues relating to data?s ever more ubiquitous power. Papers and panel topics are invited on the following - and other relevant - topics: - The political economy of data - Data and journalism - Theorising data - The politics of data visualisation - Data labour - The social life of data and data-driven methods - The politics of open and linked data - Data-driven governance, surveillance and control - Data, discrimination and inequality - Social, ethical and legal issues - Data citizens - Data activism, citizen engagement and advocacy - Data, genealogy and power - Data power and violence - Critical, cultural and feminist approaches to data - Resistance, agency and appropriation If you wish to submit an abstract, please visit the following website: https://ocs.library.carleton.ca/index.php/datapower/datapower2017.

The dg.o 2017 conference will be hosted by the City University of New York, College of Staten Island Campus, NY, June 7--9, 2017. The dg.o conference is an established forum for presentation, discussion, and demonstration of interdisciplinary research on digital government, political participation, civic engagement, and the impact of technology and innovation on government and governance. Each year the conference brings together scholars recognized for the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of their work, their contributions to theory (rigor) and practice (relevance), and their focus on important and timely topics. The conference program combines: *Keynote and track presentations and discussions on new research on digital government at the intersections of information technology research, social and behavioral science research, and the challenges and missions of government. *Presentations of effective partnerships and collaborations among government professionals and agencies, university researchers, relevant businesses, and NGOs, as well as grassroots citizen groups, to advance the practice of digital government. *A showcase of digital government projects, implementations, and initiatives that bring together the research and practitioner communities, demonstrate the effectiveness and/or challenges of digital government and offer best practices. ************************Special Event ************************************************ JOINT EVENT WITH INTELLIGENT COMMUNITY FORUM *Two global communities, the Digital Government Society (DGS) and the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), will partner in June 2017 to build new bridges between research and practice, with a shared goal of creating new interdisciplinary, multi-sector partnerships within the world's communities focused on innovation. Both DGS and the ICF have convened respective communities in cities all around the world. This year they are bringing their communities together in New York to share knowledge, allow each group to network at a deeper level and explore new partnerships to advance urban and rural innovation. *On June 7, 2017, the DGS and ICF's representatives will host the joint program at the City University of New York Staten Island campus for the ICF's annual Summit and the dg.o conference. For one day, members of both communities will present a set of joint and complementary sessions that provide attendees with a chance to hear from global leaders from across the world's leading regions, cities and towns. Attendees will participate in master classes and workshops, and seek to build collaborations focused on advancing the scholarship, policy and practice of urban and rural innovation. The capstone of the collaboration of these two communities will be the announcement of the world's Top7 intelligent communities at a joint reception in Manhattan on the evening of June 7th. *********************************************************************** THEMES AND TRACK TOPICS The 18th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research will feature the main theme of Innovations and Transformations in Government. Technological advances, such as big data and collective intelligence, together with policy innovations including open government, open data, and the creation of new public data labs have been a catalyst for disruptive innovations in government, causing radical re-thinking of the traditional assumptions and expectations regarding how governments should function. Public goods and services once considered exclusively the responsibility of government agencies are now often initiated and produced through collaborations with citizens, non-profits, and/or private sector partners. The conference theme will highlight challenges and solutions in harnessing innovations and transformations in government. Innovative designs in all aspects of government, including people, services, data, policy, governance, collaboration, and democracy, require leadership talent, creative ideas and implementation strategies, and clear success criteria for evaluating solutions. We welcome research and practice contributions from around the world on the topics including but not limited to innovation strategies, policy innovations, citizen services, engagement innovations, and data-driven decision innovations that address various current societal, environmental and economic challenges, across all the eight tracks below. Each track will accept full research papers as well as research in progress, management case studies and policy papers. Panel, tutorial, workshop, poster and demonstration proposals are also invited. Each conference element has co-chairs who are responsible for managing the submission and review process for their track. Feel free to contact track chairs for guidance as necessary. Track 1. Social Media and Government Track Chairs: Andrea Kavanaugh (kavan at cs.vt.edu) and Rodrigo Sandoval The use of social media has been growing rapidly and globally. Governments at all levels have been using microblogs, such as Twitter, and social network sites, such as Facebook, among other platforms and tools for public administration and outreach to citizens. Citizens, businesses and voluntary associations have been using these tools and affordances to share information, ask questions, and compete or collaborate on problem solving within and among neighborhoods, industries, states, and nations. The growing use of social media has created new challenges and opportunities for many users, e.g., changes in regulations and policies, marketing, and more diverse perspectives and feedback. Analysis of communication behavior, messages, and systems and institutions, should contribute to our knowledge of the ways these media are affecting collective problem solving and public policy development. Future trends in social media and government point to new synergies, as well as disruptions, among public agencies and users. This track welcomes research and practice papers addressing a range of similar or related topics on social media analysis on content, metrics, case studies or theoretical models to advance this area of research. Track 2. Organizational Factors, Adoption Issues and Digital Government Impacts Track chairs: Jing Zhang (jizhang at clarku.edu), Yu-Che Chen, and Lei Zheng Public organizations employ information and communication technologies (ICT) to facilitate communication and transactions with many stakeholders in public and private sectors. The adoption and implementation of new ICT by public organizations is influenced by organizational factors such as the availability of resources (i.e. funding, technological knowledge, and personnel), leadership, trust, organization's technological culture, as well as inter- organizational dynamics. Similarly, the adoption of ICT in government and society has generated important impacts on the organizational effectiveness, efficiency, and innovativeness of public organizations. This track solicits research that examines the organizational factors that influence the adoption and implementation of new ICT as well as the impact of new ICT. Research papers in this track examine the adoption, use, and organizational impacts of a variety of innovative technologies and policies or practices that include but are not limited to social media, citizen-centric technologies, virtual collaboration, open data, big data, and modeling tools. Track 3. Opening Government: From Open Data Infrastructures to Collaboration Track chairs: Marijn Janssen (m.f.w.h.a.janssen at tudelft.nl), Vishanth Weerakkody, and Adegboyega Ojo Governments are utilizing the Internet to achieve an open, transparent and accountable government while providing responsive services. This extensive transformation is required both within the government and in the way governments engage with the public. The opening and sharing of data, the deployment of tools and instruments to engage the public, collaboration amongst public organizations and between governments and the public are important drivers for realizing these goals. Governments initiate open data portals, develop apps, and open more data to engage with the public to create more value. To successfully achieve this vision, fundamental changes in practice and new research on governments as open systems are needed. Successful cases, measurement instruments, information sharing, adoption, stakeholder analysis and theoretical models and frameworks are necessary to advance this field. In particular, this track solicits papers addressing the issue of public sector transformation achieved through open government, collaboration amongst actors and information sharing within and between public and private organizations. Track 4. Smart Cities, Smart Citizens, Smart Governments Chairs: Sehl Mellouli (sehl.mellouli at fsa.ulaval.ca), Yigal Arens The slogan "Smart Cities, Smart Citizens, Smart Governments" refers to the promise of using linked and intertwined technologies to create innovative and intelligent solutions to life in a city that will result not only in operational efficiency, but also in government transformation through co-creative governance. Topics for this track include but are not limited to: Applications and collaborations based on the "internet of things"; Smart sensors; Big data analytics; The Civic Technology Movement, and Intercity and intergovernmental collaborations; Intelligent solutions for cities and governments. Descriptions of research and development efforts that demonstrate advances in technology and/or policy innovations in the areas of energy, transportation, health, education, public safety, structures, natural environment, and business, are all welcome, as are related issues of cybersecurity and privacy, community-based infrastructure resilience, urban informatics and governance. Track 5. Cybersecurity and Government Track Chairs: Loni Hagen (lonihagen at usf.edu), Hun-Yeong Kwon, Wookjoon Sung and Soon Ae Chun Increasing threats of domestic and international cyber-attacks, and growing dependencies on inter-connected cyberspace, require a need for national and global collaborations to develop secure and resilient cyber infrastructure. This track focuses on technical, policy and social dimensions of cyber security research, including theoretical and empirical models and frameworks, to address ever-expanding cyber security challenges. Topics include but not limited to: information security in e-government, cybercrimes, cyber incident response, critical infrastructure protection, national and global information sharing, surveillance and privacy, cryptography policy governance, security governance and strategies, civil engagement and public awareness. We also invite domain-specific cases and innovative approaches on security challenges, cybernational defence, private/public joint efforts, and education, such as workforce training and retention. Track 6. Beyond Bureaucracy, Co-Producing Governance & New Models of Governance Track Chairs: Alois Paulin (alois at apaulin.com) and Leonidas Anthopoulos The Beyond Bureaucracy track aims to outline and discuss challenges along the boundaries of society, technology, and governance, which reach beyond established e-governance research paths and priorities. Where well-established e-government / e-governance research ambitions focus on providing and/or studying technology that supports the work and mission of government agencies and governmental agents (incremental innovation), Beyond Bureaucracy addresses the question how radical technological innovation transforms the power of citizens and the conceptual sovereign body to actively control (rather than passively observe and follow) government agencies and governmental agents. The Beyond Bureaucracy track invites contributions that discuss pending technological (design science) challenges, promotes the economic potentials of disruptive new technological ecosystems, and serves as a platform for pro/con deliberations on Beyond Bureaucracy thought and knowledge. Research keywords includes but not limited to: Liquid Democracy, Informating Governance, e-Anarchy, Participatory Budgeting & Bottom-Up Excise, Non-Bureaucratic Government, etc. Track 7. Participatory Democracy Track Chairs: Claudia Cappelli (claudia.cappelli at uniriotec.br), Cristiano Maciel, Jose Viterbo Filho E-participation comprises the use of information and communication technologies to broaden and deepen political participation by enabling citizens to connect with one another and with their elected representatives. It can lead to new methods of producing public policies and services that contrast with transaction-based methods of service delivery, in which citizens consume public services solely conceived and provided by governments. In the novel co- production-based approaches, citizens are not only consulted but are part of the conception, design, steering, and management of public policies and services, instrumenting Participatory Democracy. Major topics in this track will discuss methods, techniques and tools that can support or contribute to the coproduction of public services through different processes of e- participation. Track 8. Open Government Data Policies & Politics Track chairs: Boyi Li (b.li at exeter.ac.uk) and Kyung Ryul Park A growing body of literature has been focused on the benefits, motivations, as well as best practices to adopt open data in government sectors. Many theorizing efforts regard institutional structures as critical barriers to promote open innovation paradigm in public sector. In this track, we discuss the impact and change of these institutional structures by inviting research papers that examine open data initiatives as either government policies or politics. The policy lens critically analyses the policy documents and reveals how open data policies are drafted, interpreted and implemented in a specific context. The politics lens is mainly concerned with the power relations between the state, civil society, and business. It leads to a critical reflection on the agenda of open data movement in the context of power structures of informational capitalism. Therefore, we particularly welcome the content and discourse analysis of open data documents, and the storytelling of government-business collaboration in open data innovations. Panels Chair: Teresa Harrison Panel proposals may address themes or topics related to any of the tracks for the conference. Additionally, we welcome panel proposals that put a spotlight on practice and application. Proposals from practitioners at all levels of government featuring experiences with, perspectives on, and evaluations of digital government practice are encouraged. Individuals interested in submitting panel proposals are invited to consult the panel co-chairs about their ideas prior to developing their submissions. Please send expressions of interest for panel development to Teresa Harrison (tharrison at albany.edu). Poster and Demonstration Poster and Demo Chairs: Kellyton dos Santos Brito and Murray Scott The poster session, held in conjunction with the system demonstrations, allows presenters to discuss research in progress, application projects, or government policies and program initiatives in one-to-one conversations with other participants at the conference.

A user's understanding of the information need and the overall task develops as he or she interacts with the system. Supporting the various stages of this task involves many aspects of the system, e.g. interface features, presentation of information, retrieving and ranking. The Supporting Complex Search Tasks workshop (SCST 2017) aims at creating and fostering an interdisciplinary forum where researchers can exchange ideas about alternative experiments and prototypes, and contribute to the development of a research agenda in supporting complex search tasks. ------------------ Topics of interest ------------------ We invite position papers addressing open research questions related to: * Context: What are the obvious use cases and applications of complex search? * Tasks: What are essential features of work tasks and search tasks to take into account? * Heterogeneous sources: With a multitude of information, varying from introductory to specialized, and from authoritative to speculative or opinionated, when to show what sources of information? * Search process: How does the information seeking process evolve and what are relevant differences between different stages? * UI/UX: What affordances are required and in what stage of the search process? How can we make the search process transparent to the user? How and when does the initiative shift between system and user? * Evaluation: How do we evaluate and compare approaches? Which measures should be taken into account? ------ Format ------ This is a workshop proper where discussion is central, and all attendees are active participants. We will start the workshop with a full round of introductions of all participants, making everyone feel welcome and part of the workshop. Then, the workshop continues with two short keynotes by keynote from academia to be confirmed and keynote from industry to be confirmed to set the stage and ensure all attendees are on the same page. Next, we will have presentations of contributed papers, with each paper getting a 1-minute boaster and a poster presentation in an interactive poster session. There will be 3-4 breakout groups seeded from the open research questions (see Goals) and the contributed papers, each group thoroughly prepared by a chair who guides the discussion, with examples from relevant IR evaluation campaigns such as the TREC Session and Tasks Tracks and the SBS Interactive and Suggestion Tracks, and from concrete examples of complex support systems with their UX and UI challenges. The breakout groups will report to the audience and a panel of experts, with continued discussion on what we learned, concrete plans for the next year, and a roadmap for the longer term. The discussion will continue during a social event, where the discussion will continue in a more informal way over food and drinks, deep into the Oslo night. The organizers have gained a proud reputation for their open and inclusive workshops, leading to new research collaborations, other workshops, and new evaluation tracks. The results will be disseminated in various ways: * A high quality, peer reviewed workshop proceedings, published in the CEUR workshop proceedings series (http://ceur-ws.org/). * A report on the results of the workshop in the ACM SIGIR Forum of June 2017. * Depending on the outcome, we will consider a special issue in an appropriate journal. * Last, but not least, the results can be fed into the running tracks at TREC, CLEF, and other evaluation campaigns. -------- Audience -------- The workshop will bring together a varied group of researchers?bridging CHI and IR in a natural way?with experience covering both user- and system-centered approaches, to work together on the problem and potential solutions, and identify the barriers to success and work on ways of addressing them. Authors can submit both research and position papers. Papers can be 2+1 pages max., with 2 pages of narrative text and an additional page for tables/figures/notes/references. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed in a double-blind review process. --------------- Important dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline: February 6, 2017 * Notification of acceptance: February 20, 2017 * Camera-ready deadline: March 1, 2017 * SCST 2017 Workshop: March 11, 2017 ---------- Organizers ---------- * Nick Belkin (Rutgers University) * Toine Bogers (Aalborg University Copenhagen) * Diane Kelly (University of Tennessee) * Jaap Kamps (University of Amsterdam) * Marijn Koolen (Huygens ING) * Emine Yilmaz (University College London) For further questions, please contact a member of the organizing committee.
