Broadly defined, research information management (RIM), commonly known as CRIS (Current Research Information Systems) in Europe, is the aggregation, curation, and utilization of information about institutional research activities. RIM adoption and practices vary broadly by region and nation, and may include activities such as the collection of an institutional registry of research outputs and impact, faculty activity reporting workflows, and publicly available researcher profiles. This research is a significant effort to collect and compare RIM practices worldwide, and the data generated will help us to better understand regional drivers and practices. It will also help us to better understand the ways in which libraries are supporting research information management activities. The survey launched in mid-October, and research universities and institutes worldwide have the opportunity to answer a short questionnaire about their local research information management practices. Survey results and dataset will be openly published in 2018. The survey has been developed by a collaborative team of librarians, researchers, and CRIS practitioners from North America and Europe: * Rebecca Bryant, OCLC Research * Pablo de Castro, Strathclyde University & euroCRIS * Anna Clements, University of St Andrews & euroCRIS * Jan Fransen, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities * Constance Malpas, OCLC Research * Michele Mennielli, DuraSpace & euroCRIS * Rachael Samberg, University of California-Berkeley * The survey is available online at oc.lc/rim through January 15, 2018.

With increased access to digital media and the ubiquity of data and data-driven processes in all areas of life, an awareness and understanding of areas, such as algorithmic accountability, transparency, governance and bias, are becoming increasingly important. Recent cases in the news and media have highlighted the wider societal effects of data and algorithms requiring we pay it more attention. The BIAS workshop will bring together researchers from different disciplines who are interested in analysing and tackling bias within their discipline, arising from the data, algorithms and methods they use. The theme of the workshop, bias in information, algorithms, and systems, includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: - Bias in sources of data and information (e.g., datasets, data production, publications, visualisations, annotations, knowledge bases) - Bias in categorisation and representation schemes (e.g., vocabularies, standards, etc.) - Bias in algorithms (e.g., information retrieval, recommendation, classification, etc.) - Bias in the broader context of information and social systems (e.g., social media, search engines, social networks, crowdsourcing, etc.) - Considerations in evaluation (e.g., to identify and avoid bias, to create unbiased test and training collections, crowdsourcing, etc.) - Interactions between individuals, technologies and data/information - Considerations for data governance and policy The workshop aims to identify potential avenues for future directions around the notions of bias, algorithmic transparency and accountability, with the concrete goal of generating a collaborative proposal for publishing a position paper (e.g., in ACM SIGIR Forum) and/or the coordination of a special issue on BIAS for the journal Online Information Review. With these goals in mind, the workshop will feature a keynote talk, presentations and posters from workshop participants, and thematic discussions in small groups. === Submission and Publication === The workshop welcomes the following types of submissions: - Extended abstracts of up to 1,500 words, - Short research papers of up to 6 pages, and - Full research papers of up to 12 pages. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee. Submissions should be formatted according to Springer?s LNCS style guidelines (http://www.springer.com/gb/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) and not exceed the word/page limit. The submission is to be done via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bias2018). All accepted submissions will be published as workshop proceedings on CEUR-WS.org (http://ceur-ws.org/). Their metadata will also be provided in BibSonomy (https://www.bibsonomy.org/) and everything will be linked on the workshop homepage, together with the program and presentation slides. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there. === Important Dates === - Abstract submission deadline: Jan 10, 2018 - Submission deadline: Jan 20, 2018 - Notification of acceptance: Feb 25, 2018 - Camera-ready paper: Mar 10, 2018 (Abstract submission: Please submit the title and (short) abstract of your work until January 10 to speed up reviewer assignment.) === Organisation === - Dr. Jo Bates, Information School, University of Sheffield, UK - Prof. Paul Clough, Information School, University of Sheffield, UK - Prof. Robert J?schke, Humboldt-Universit?t zu Berlin, Germany - Prof. Jahna Otterbacher, Open University of Cyprus -- Prof. Dr. Robert J?schke Humboldt University Berlin, University of Sheffield, L3S Research Center https://www.ibi.hu-berlin.de/de/institut/personen/jaeschke < World Literature: http://weltliteratur.net/ > < http://bibsonomy.org > From rsandusky at gmail.com Wed Nov 8 14:38:26 2017 From: rsandusky at gmail.com (Robert Sandusky) Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2017 13:38:26 -0600 Subject: [Asis-l] DataONE Webinar: Provenance-enabled Reproducibility: Developments in DataONE Tuesday 11/14 Message-ID: Dear Community Please be reminded of the upcoming DataONE Webinar ?*Provenance-enabled Reproducibility: Developments in DataONE*? presented by *Chris Jones, Bryce Mecum and Matthew Jones *of the National Center for Analysis and Synthesis.

You can review previous webinars at: https://www.dataone.org/previous-webinars/2017 Best Amber *Abstract* Reproducible research is enabled, in part, by provenance metadata that describes the lineage and processing history of data and knowledge artifacts. Provenance plays an important role in many scientific applications and use cases. Yet this information is often not tracked as thoroughly and systematically as science metadata. DataONE has been working on tools to display provenance information and to support recording of provenance metadata through programming languages such as R and Matlab and through an intuitive, user friendly, web-based UI. During this webinar we will describe the history to date, showcasing the tools developed and providing a demonstration of the new web-based provenance editor. We highlight the collaborative efforts in building a community around provenance, and introduce future integration with WholeTale and other community initiatives. *Speaker Bio* Chris Jones is a Software Engineer at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He has worked on informatics projects for the last fifteen years, focusing on generic solutions to common data management needs in the earth and ecological sciences. Chris has built systems to document and archive data for regional and international consortia, stream data in near real time from arrays of oceanographic sensors deployed across the insular Pacific islands, and has been involved in metadata standards development and ontology development. Chris tries to handle computer systems in stride, despite their frequent tantrums. He lives in Colorado. Bryce Mecum is a scientific software engineer with expertise in data analysis and programming and data management systems, including systems like R, GitHub, repository software, Python, and UNIX. He has a background in fisheries modeling and management, and builds software systems supporting environmental synthesis. Matthew Jones is the Director of Informatics Research at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, and co-PI on DataONE.

Indeed, users are allowed to express ratings in a fixed range of values for a given catalogue of products, or to express a query that usually returns the same set of webpages/products for all the users. With the advent of communication systems (social media platforms, instant messaging systems, speech recognition and transcription tools, etc.), users have been allowed to create new content and to express opinions and preferences in new forms (e.g., likes, textual comments, and audio feedbacks). Moreover, the social interactions can provide information on who influences whom. Being able to mine usage and collaboration patterns that arise thanks to social aspects and to analyze the collective cooperations, opens new frontiers in the generation of personalization services and in the improvement of search engines. Moreover, recent technological advances, such as deep learning, are able to provide a context to the analyzed data (e.g., word embeddings provide a vector representation of the words in a corpus, considering the context in which a word has been used). Our workshop will solicit contributions in all topics related to employing social aspects for personalization and search purposes, focused (but not limited) to the following list: - Recommender systems - Search and tagging - Query expansion - User modeling and profiling - Advertising and ad targeting - Content classification, categorization, and clustering - Using social network features/community detection algorithms for personalization and search purposes - Employing speech transcription in personalization and search - Building benchmarking datasets - Novel evaluation methodologies in the social context *IMPORTANT DATES* - Paper submission: January 15, 2018 - Notification of acceptance: January 31, 2018 - Camera-ready version: February 15, 2018 - Workshop date: March 26, 2018 *TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS* We will consider three different submission types, all in the LNCS format : regular (14 pages), short (8 pages) and extended abstracts (4 pages). *Research and position papers* (regular or short) should be clearly placed with respect to the state of the art and state the contribution of the proposal in the domain of application, even if presenting preliminary results. In particular, research papers should describe the methodology in detail, experiments should be repeatable, and a comparison with the existing approaches in the literature should be made where possible. *Position papers* (short) should introduce novel point of views in the workshop topics or summarize the experience of a researcher or a group in the field. *Practice and experience reports* (short) should present in detail the real-world scenarios in which social aspects are employed for personalization and search purposes. *Demo proposals* (extended abstract) should present the details of a prototype or complete application that employs social aspects for personalization and search purposes. The systems will be demonstrated to the workshop attendees. The reviewing process will be coordinated by the organizers. Each paper will receive three reviews: two externals to the organizing committee and one internal. The external reviewers will be contacted according to their expertise in the paper topic. *PROCEEDINGS* All accepted papers will be made available on the workshop website together with the material generated during the meeting. The SoAPS 2018 Workshop proceedings will also be available in a volume (whose details will be given soon), and indexed on DBLP and Scopus. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version in a journal special issue. *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* All submission must be written in English and follow the ECIR paper guidelines . All papers must be formatted according to the LNCS format style. Papers should be submitted in PDF format, electronically, using the EasyChair submission system. Details will be given soon. *INVITED SPEAKER* TBA *CONTACTS* Website: http://soaps.di.uniroma1.it/ For general enquires regarding the workshop, send an email to both the organizers at ludovico.boratto at acm.org, stilo at di.uniroma1.it *ORGANIZERS* Ludovico Boratto (EURECAT, Spain) Giovanni Stilo (Sapienza University of Rome, Italy) From katy.davis at libgig.com Fri Nov 10 14:20:41 2017 From: katy.davis at libgig.com (Katy Davis) Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 19:20:41 +0000 Subject: [Asis-l] Job Posting: Cataloger, Beltsville, MD Message-ID: Apologies for the cross-posting...

Below please find the call for participation. This year's theme is: "The Social Lives of Digital Methods: Encounters, Experiments, Interventions". The deadline for application is December 7, 2017. More information is available at https://bit.ly/dmi18-ws-call or email to winterschool at digitalmethods.net . Best regards, Fernando van der Vlist -- # CALL FOR PARTICIPATION # DIGITAL METHODS WINTER SCHOOL 2018 # JANUARY 8-12, 2018 # UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM # THE SOCIAL LIVES OF DIGITAL METHODS # ENCOUNTERS, EXPERIMENTS, INTERVENTIONS -- ## DIGITAL METHODS WINTER SCHOOL, DATA SPRINT AND MINI-CONFERENCE The Digital Methods Initiative (DMI), Amsterdam, is holding its annual Winter School on 'the Social Lives of Digital Methods: Encounters, Experiments, Interventions.' The format is that of a (social media and web) data sprint, with hands-on work for telling stories with data, together with a programme of keynote speakers and a Mini-conference, where PhD candidates, motivated scholars and advanced graduate students present short papers on digital methods and new media related topics, and receive feedback from the Amsterdam DMI researchers and international participants. Participants need not give a paper at the Mini-conference to attend the Winter School. For a preview of what the event is like, please view short video clips from a previous edition of the Summer School, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nTxwl_kA5I. Over the past decade digital methods of various kinds have been put to use by data journalists, national ministries, non-governmental organisations, city governments, media artists, police departments, international organisations, philanthropic funding agencies in the service of a wide variety of projects and objectives. Within the academy digital methods have spread from researchers of the internet, new media and computational culture, leading to encounters and experiments with a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, working with their own publics, partners, questions, concerns and modes of inquiry with and about the digital. That one may intervene with digital methods is clear, but the question concerns the positioning. Extremism and counter-terrorism units may wish to map online networks of groups and individuals. Under which circumstances and with which ethics to act? City governments may be interested in how to use platform data to inform their responses to emerging "gig" and "sharing" economies said to be changing the character of housing, transport and work. When an analyst finds concrete instances of over-renting properties, does one share the findings and if so how? Non-governmental organisations would like to know whether their anti-fossil fuel campaigns are reaching audiences outside of their own bubbles. How to make such questions relevant for academic research? Funders would like an issue area and the stakeholders mapped, but what if one finds that the funders are overdetermining the agenda of the field? How might the style of digital methods work on secure messaging apps vary, depending on whether the audience is critical media scholars, privacy advocates or public institutions? Researchers in fields such as science and technology studies and ethnomethodology have long pointed out that methods are not only used by researchers to study social life, they are also a part of social life (see, e.g. Garfinkel, 1984). This notion has been further elaborated and explored through a more recent agenda on the "social life of methods" (Ruppert, Law, & Savage, 2013). Digital methods and data projects can be used to create not only novel styles of analysis, but also different kinds of "interactivity" (Marres, 2017) -- from involving those who are researched in the research process, to different forms of participatory design, public involvement and experimentation. Such encounters may produce changes in the analytical interests and approaches of both researchers and practitioners, and may be considered a substantive part of the research process, rather than a communicative afterthought. At the 2018 Digital Methods Winter School we would like to put forward positioning practices that address working with practitioners together with the projects (and data sets) they bring along. The Winter School has as its goal to take stock and tell stories of interventions and the positionings one was able to take up. How to navigate the space between scholarly research, practitioner expectation and critical output? Additionally the Winter School will make interventions, working together with 'publics with an ask'. ## DIGITAL METHODS MINI-CONFERENCE AT THE WINTER SCHOOL The annual Digital Methods Mini-Conference at the Winter School, normally a one-day affair, provides the opportunity for digital methods and allied researchers to present short yet complete papers (5,000-7,500 words) and serve as respondents, providing feedback. Often the work presented follows from previous Digital Methods Summer Schools. The mini-conference accepts papers in the general digital methods and allied areas: the hyperlink and other natively digital objects, the website as archived object, web historiographies, search engine critique, Google as globalizing machine, cross-spherical analysis and other approaches to comparative media studies, device cultures, national web studies, Wikipedia as cultural reference, the technicity of (networked) content, post-demographics, platform studies, crawling and scraping, graphing and clouding, and similar. ## APPLICATIONS: KEY DATES The deadline for application is 7 December 2017. To apply please send along a letter of motivation, your CV (including postal address), a headshot photo, 100-word bio as well as a copy of your passport (details page only). Notifications of acceptance will be sent on 8 December. If you are participating in the mini-conference the deadline for submission of your paper is 2 January. The mini-conference takes place on Friday 12 January 2018. Please send your mini-conference paper to winterschool at digitalmethods. net . To attend the Winter School, you need not participate in the mini-conference. The full program and schedule of the Winter School and Mini-conference are available on 4 January 2018. -- ## More information: https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool2018 -- Fernando N. van der Vlist Research Associate, Collaborative Research Centre "Media of Cooperation", University of Siegen Research Associate, Digital Methods Initiative, University of Amsterdam Lecturer, New Media and Digital Culture, University of Amsterdam fernandovandervlist.nl https://www.fernandovandervlist.nl/ App Studies Initiative http://appstudies.org/ From fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr Tue Nov 14 11:31:03 2017 From: fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr (IBEKWE-SANJUAN Fidelia) Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2017 17:31:03 +0100 Subject: [Asis-l] Education for Information: special issue on Philosophy of Information and call for submissions Message-ID: <2aede113-d8a5-cf48-6770-e1e6eaedf531@univ-amu.fr> Dear colleagues, As editor of Education for Information (https://content.iospress.com/journals/education-for-information/Preprint/Preprint), I'd like to draw your attention to the publication of a special issue on Philosophy of Information (https://content.iospress.com/journals/education-for-information/33/1) comprising articles by well known authors on the subject: Select this result for bulk action 1.

Important Dates: Papers submission: 10 January 2018 (midnight AoE) Notification of acceptance: 12 February 2018 Camera ready submission: 26 February 2018 (midnight AoE) DE-PERsonlisation Workshop: 26 March 2018 ECIR Conference: 26-29 March 2018 Overview: Personalised search gave users significant control over information overload and an ability to simplify the handling of large content collections, such as the web. On the downside, it has led to situations where people find themselves in confined information spaces where similar ideas, beliefs, or data are preserved and repeatedly reinforced to the extent that users find it difficult to retrieve and experience alternative content and competing views. Echo Chambers create substantial polarisation effects, impeding users' ability to access alternative and diverse information. In search situations, this may disconnect users from others while inside the Echo Chamber, or prevent users from refinding information while outside their Echo Chamber. This one-day workshop aims to explore and host dialogues on the fundamental areas of theory and practice in the domain of de-personalising information spaces and understanding, describing and quantifying filtered information experiences. Background and Motivation: Information retrieval (IR) and recommender systems and, more general, approaches in machine learning have resulted in a personalised web experience with resounding success. Building on context, location and users? virtual (social) profiles, the web is highly aligned to users? perceived interests, to the interests of ?similar? users, and to the interests of users to whom a user is digitally connected. Whilst this delivers relevant content, it also polarises informational perspectives and removes serendipity through the development of Echo Chambers: scenarios where specific ideas, beliefs or data are reinforced through repetition of a closed system that limits the free movement of alternative (competing) ideas. There is the implication that certain ideas or outcomes dominate due to, and resulting in, a bias concerning how specific input is gathered. Under-addressed in the literature are methods to qualify/quantify Echo Chambers and the associated effect(s) they have over time. The DE-PER Workshop aims to approach the study of Echo Chambers at the intersection of IR, information science, cognitive systems, computational social science, web science, cloud computing, as well as statistics and machine learning to initiate and foster interdisciplinary dialogues on (de-)personalisation for a deeper understanding of filtered information experiences. Topics of Interest: We envisage the following topical categories for submission with a particular emphasis on variety and cross-disciplinary approaches: Reviews: Review papers concerning pertinent aspects of Echo Chambers, Theoretical & Empirical Models Formal approaches to represent Echo Chambers to facilitate experimental approaches, enable user comprehension, and simulate Echo Chambers, Metastudies: Studies that attempt to qualify/quantify/visualise the divergence of (users') search results and information experience(s), Experimental Methods: Methodologies for the reproducibility of studies seeking to investigate Echo Chambers, Experimental Infrastructures: Systems that help control and compare the effects of various degrees of (de-)personalised search scenarios, IR Experiments: Experiments that demonstrate/formalise any effects of Echo Chambers, Test Collections and Corpora: Practice and experience using, adapting, merging, and/or gathering (test) collections and experimental data sets. User Studies: Studies that consider multiple users or multiple user profiles (search engines, social media, etc.) and contexts (location, tasks, devices, etc.) that shed light on the differences in users' diverging search results and information experience(s), and Case Studies: Studies into Echo Chambers and discussion on the tangible effects and observations of (de) personalisation. Submission Details: All workshop submissions must be written in English and must follow the LNCS author guidelines. Full papers must not exceed 10 pages and short papers must not exceed 6 pages, including figures and references. Papers must be submitted as PDF files, electronically, and through the EasyChair paper submission system: Link will be provided soon. All accepted papers will be made available on our website.

The award is given annually by the faculty of the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and cosponsored by Libraries Unlimited. On May 9, 2016, the Kansas City Public Library (KCPL), in cooperation with the Truman Library Institute and the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Kansas City, hosted a talk by Dennis Ross, a former advisor on the Middle East to Presidents George H. W. Bush and Barack Obama and currently a distinguished fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. During the question-and-answer period, library patron Jeremy Rothe-Kushel asked about U.S. support for what he called Israel's "state-sponsored terrorism." After Ross responded, Rothe-Kushel attempted to follow up and was grabbed by a private security guard, followed by an off-duty police officer, both of whom had been hired by the Jewish Community Foundation. Steve Woolfolk, KCPL's director of programming, intervened, noting that discourse is accepted and encouraged at a public event held in a public library. He was physically injured by the officers and arrested. R. Crosby Kemper III, KCPL executive director, said the private security guard was not acting on behalf of the library and had no right to remove a patron for asking a question. When the charges against Woolfolk were not dropped, KCPL went public with the incident. In September 2017, a municipal court judge found Woolfolk not guilty on all charges. Woolfolk has been lauded for his actions by the American Library Association (ALA), Urban Libraries Council, and Missouri Library Association. He was awarded the 2017 Lemony Snicket Prize for Noble Librarians Faced with Adversity, established by the best-selling author and the ALA to recognize individuals who have "faced adversity with integrity and dignity intact." In addition, the KCPL received ALA's 2017 Paul Howard Award for Courage, given biannually for "unusual courage for the benefit of library programs or services." According to nominator Kate Williams, associate professor at the iSchool, "Giving the Downs Award to the Kansas City Public Library, especially these librarians, will help educate many people nationwide and beyond as to the special roles of the public library, the police, and private security forces in a democratic society, and the boundaries we all navigate to protect free speech and intellectual freedom." A reception to honor the KCPL will take place during the Midwinter Meeting of the ALA in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday, February 10, 2018, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. in Ellingwood Rooms A and B at the Crowne Plaza Downtown Denver. Libraries Unlimited provides an honorarium for the recipient and cosponsors the reception. The Robert B. Downs Intellectual Freedom Award is presented annually to acknowledge individuals or groups who have furthered the cause of intellectual freedom, particularly as it affects libraries and information centers and the dissemination of ideas. Granted to those who have resisted censorship or efforts to abridge the freedom of individuals to read or view materials of their choice, the award may be given in recognition of a particular action or long-term interest in, and dedication to, the cause of intellectual freedom. The award was established in 1969 by the iSchool's faculty to honor Robert Downs, a champion of intellectual freedom, on his twenty-fifth anniversary as director of the School. With Libraries Unlimited, an imprint of ABC-CLIO, assuming cosponsorship of the award in 2012, ABC-CLIO has been dedicated to supporting the Downs Award for more than thirty years. As a publisher committed to advancing library professional development and independent critical thought, Libraries Unlimited and the entire ABC-CLIO family are strong advocates of intellectual freedom rights and the dissemination of all ideas. The iSchool at Illinois is very honored to share sponsorship with Libraries Unlimited and appreciates the contributions it and the other imprints of ABC-CLIO have made in defending intellectual freedom through the years.

However, it is only during the second half of the twentieth century that innovation became a fashionable concept and turned into a buzzword. It gave rise to a plethora of terms like technological innovation, organizational innovation, industrial innovation and, more recently, social innovation, open innovation, sustainable innovation, responsible innovation. We may call these terms X-innovation. In this way, X-innovation is the latest step (see background paper Godin /et al./ 2017 and Godin and Vinck 2017 ) to give sense to a century-old process of enlargement of the concept of innovation. Over the last five centuries, innovation enlarged its meaning from the religious to the political to the social to the economical. X-innovation is the more recent such enlargement. It Is the continuation, under new terms, of the contestation of technological innovation as the dominant discourse of the twentieth century. How can we make sense of this semantic extension? Why do these terms come into being? What drives people to coin new terms? What effects do the terms have on thought, on culture and scholarship and on policy and politics? Which forms of contestation and appropriation ensue around certain X-innovations? How do they shape, and are shaped by, broader social trends? How to they relate to questions of power and inclusion? This call asks for answers to these questions through critical approaches in human and social sciences, including intellectual and conceptual history, science and technology studies, political economy, sociology, and anthropology. We welcome both conceptual and empirical work. The five areas below represent the scope of methodological possibilities for this special issue of NOvation: 1.

The North Carolina Negro Library Association's War on Information Poverty in the Long Civil Rights Movement, 1935-1955." Poole was recognized at an awards ceremony at the 2017 ASIS&T Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. (October 27 to November 1). Poole's paper revolves around Mollie Huston Lee, the founder not only of the North Carolina Negro Library Association in 1934, but also of the Richard B. Harrison Public Library in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1935. The Harrison Library was one of only a few independent African-American libraries in the U.S. and served as a hub for African American community uplift. The North Carolina Negro Library Association played a similarly key role: Lee and her colleagues developed library services for African-Americans, ensured black materials were included in library collections, purged stereotypes from literature, and combatted the American Library Association's racism during the reign of Jim Crow in the American South. Their work directly contributed to the Civil Rights Movement. The paper was lauded by the jury as "commendably well written," "a masterpiece on the history of negro library associations in the [...] southern U.S. in the first half of 20th century," and "a history of how information science has helped gradually to address democracy, human rights and equality." Poole's paper is forthcoming in the fall 2018 issue of The Library Quarterly. His prior research has focused on digital curation, digital humanities, diversity and inclusivity, and all matters archival. Among other venues, his work has been published in Journal of Documentation, Digital Humanities Quarterly, American Archivist and Archival Science. Poole earned his doctorate in information science and a master of science degree in library science from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, a master of arts degree in history from Brown University, and a bachelor of arts degree in history from Williams College.

The award is endowed by alumni and friends of the School and given in recognition of outstanding accomplishments and/or professional promise in information sciences. A leading researcher in text mining medical literature, Blake has returned from a year as a faculty fellow at the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications, a research and development unit of the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). There she worked on projects in semantic knowledge representation and medical ontology research. Blake's earlier focus on how people synthesize evidence from literature directly informs her computational approaches to accelerate scientific discovery. She utilizes her industrial experience as a software developer, formal training in information and computer science, and more than a decade of experience in text mining scientific articles in medicine, toxicology, and epidemiology. Her work has been published in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, the Journal of Biomedical Informatics, Environmental Health Perspectives, and elsewhere. She has also published three book chapters. Blake is co-principal investigator on a project funded by the National Science Foundation that uses next-generation risk assessment tools to explore how the culture of an organization affects the likelihood of a disaster. She recently completed a project that analyzed data reuse at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. "I am deeply grateful to receive this award, and the timing rounds out a wonderful year while I was on sabbatical at NIH. I am very much looking forward to integrating that experience back into the iSchool and the information science research community," said Blake, who also holds affiliate appointments in the Departments of Computer Science and Medical Information Science at Illinois. "We are delighted to recognize Cathy's work with the Centennial Scholar award," said Dean Allen Renear. "She has been pioneering new approaches to better integrate and advance our understanding of medical research results. This is enormously important work, and we are excited about both the results so far and the prospects ahead. We are also, of course, very pleased to have her back with us!" At the iSchool, Blake serves as associate director of the Center for Informatics Research in Science and Scholarship, which studies the information lifecycle in the contexts of science and scholarship. She teaches text mining, an introductory course on databases, evidence-based discovery, and foundations of socio-technical data analytics. She also designed the School's graduate specialization in Socio-technical Data Analytics (SODA), which was funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and formed the basis of the data analytics track in the new MS in information management. Prior to joining the iSchool in 2009, Blake was an assistant professor in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She holds an MS and PhD in information and computer science from the University of California, Irvine, and a BS and MS in computer science from the University of Wollongong, Australia.

The project, LIS Education and Data Science-for-the National Digital Platform (LEADS-4-NDP), is being led by PIs Jane Greenberg, PhD (Alice B. Kroeger Professor and Associate Department Head for Graduate Affairs) and Xia Lin, PhD (Information Science Professor and Department Head), along with CoPIs Professor Il-Yeol Song, PhD and Associate Professor Weimeo Ke, PhD. LEADS-4-NDP will provide stipends for 18 library and information science doctoral students across the country who will complete an online preparatory curriculum, an intensive three-day data science boot camp at Drexel University, and a ten-week immersive data science research experience. The participants will work with our LEADS project partners, including Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), Smithsonian, California Digital Library (CDL), Digital Curation Innovation Center (DCIC), University of Maryland, Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP), Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), Philadelphia Free Public Library, and University of Pennsylvania Libraries. A team of mentors and internationally recognized data and library science experts will also help guide the LEADS-4-NDP initiative. ?Increasingly, we see LIS graduates with data science skills seeking employment in the tech industry. Although attractive salaries are part of the draw, LIS graduates with data skills may not pursue libraries simply because they lack exposure to the value proposition of data science in the library domain,? Greenberg explained. ?We need to provide infrastructure along with education, so future faculty and graduates alike can see the application of predictive analytics and other data science methods for services and operations in libraries, museums, and other aspects of the National Digital Platform,? she said. ?The LEADS-4-NDP program will address this need, and allow Drexel University to share our expertise in data science with LIS programs by teaching future faculty, and making lesson plans and other resources open and accessible beyond the immediate LEADS program,? added Lin. This program will differ from other data science initiatives in that it aims to teach students to apply data science methods, frameworks, processes, and tools to the NDP. The goal is to prepare the next generation of LIS faculty so that they may bring data science knowledge and skills, in a meaningful way, into LIS education. LEADS-4-NDP will develop a template for educating library data scientists, while also readying this first cohort to serve as educators and leaders in libraries and archives.
