From brad.eden at valpo.edu Wed Jan 4 13:32:35 2017 From: brad.eden at valpo.edu (Brad Eden) Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2017 12:32:35 -0600 Subject: [Eurchap] CFP: Project management in the library workplace Message-ID: > > Please excuse duplication. 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 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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.

This invitation extends to professionals in library publishing (past or present), LPC members/practitioners, LIS/iSchool professors, PhD candidates, and others with an interest and/or experience in this growing area of activity. Each proposal may be authored by an individual or a team. Proposals are invited between January 9 and February 28, 2017. Each proposal should focus on ONE of the following four course topics: Policy, Content, Impact, or Sustainability. See the Library Publishing Curriculum Framework for more details on what each of these course topics might include. Each selected author will develop a self-paced online course covering approximately 5-7 subtopics and providing approximately 15 hours of instruction and materials. Selected proposal authors will: - Attend an in-person retreat with the project team and fellow authors to review program goals, discuss formats and learning styles, and refine the learning objectives and methods we will use for each course and its subtopics (April-May, 2017). - Assemble the following learning materials for each course subtopic: learning objectives, readings, a narrative core for the course, a brief annotated bibliography, case studies, and exercises (May-August, 2017). - Refine the materials according to guidance from an Instructional Designer (August-September, 2017). - Create a course guide to support those who may use the materials (October 2017). - Assist in the creation of evaluation instruments tied to the learning objectives and competencies covered in your course (November-December, 2017). - Be invited to participate as a panelist at the 2018 Library Publishing Forum to talk about the project and the course materials (March-April, 2018). The curriculum is expected to reach more than 100 students in the first year of pilot experiences (2018) through LIS programs, professional development workshops, and online courses. We are pleased to be able to offer an honorarium of $4,000 for each of the four course topics (Policy, Content, Impact, and Sustainability). This honorarium will be provided to each of the four authors (or author teams) as they complete their work on the four course topics in December 2017, in recognition of the time and energy course development requires. Travel expenses will be covered for each of the four authors (or, in the case of a team, the lead author) to attend the in-person retreat. In addition, each author will have an opportunity to present at the 2018 Library Publishing Forum. Proposals are due by 5pm PT on February 28, 2017. Authors will be notified by March 31, 2017. Proposals should consist of: - A 1-2 page summary of your proposed approach to designing and developing the self-paced online course on one of the four named topics (Policy, Content, Impact, or Sustainability) and its range of potential subtopics (please see the Framework for more information). - A current author CV.

ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. The conference brings together people from academia, industry and non-profit organizations and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. It is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and doctoral consortium for graduate students. The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned?5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. The conference venue is the well known 5* beach hotel St. Raphael Resort, situated on one of the largest Blue Flag accredited beaches, only a short coastal drive from the lively centre of town, approximately 10 minutes away (http://www.raphael.com.cy). The Larnaca International Airport is 35 minutes away, and Paphos International Airport is 55 minutes away. There are shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance and a bus stop exactly outside the hotel. The conference organizers have secured very competitive rates for accommodation, both at the venue hotel as well as a number of other hotels at close distance (http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMm5kIEFDTSBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gSW50ZWxsaWdlbnQgVXNlciBJbnRlcmZhY2VzIChJVUkgMjAxNyk6IENhbGwgZm9yIFBhcnRpY2lwYXRpb24JMTEJTGlzdHMJMTk0CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=http%3A%2F%2Fiui.acm.org%2F2017/accommodation.html). In addition, the conference organization offers airport transfers to and from the hotels at very reasonable prices. This year IUI attracted an overwhelming number of submissions for all types of contributions (papers, posters, demos, etc.). The list of accepted contributions can be found here: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMm5kIEFDTSBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gSW50ZWxsaWdlbnQgVXNlciBJbnRlcmZhY2VzIChJVUkgMjAxNyk6IENhbGwgZm9yIFBhcnRpY2lwYXRpb24JMTEJTGlzdHMJMTk0CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=http%3A%2F%2Fiui.acm.org%2F2017/accepted.html .

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.

The conference is run in Europe but attracts researchers from all over the world. The 21st ADBIS conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. The conference is accompanied by satellite events, including doctoral consortia and workshops. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a forum where PhD students can present their research ideas, confront them with the scientific community, receive feedback from mentors, and tie cooperation bounds. Students will receive inspiration from their peers and will have a chance to discuss their research objectives with senior members of the community in the context of an established international conference. The DC session will take place on September 24, in parallel with the workshop sessions. Each participant will present her/his work, followed by a discussion with senior researchers. ELIGIBILITY We seek PhD students who have either determined the direction of their thesis research (probably with some preliminary results already published), but who still have substantial work to complete, or PhD student participants who are in the early stages of their dissertation year. It is not required to have a paper accepted for the main conference in order to participate in the DC. SUBMISSIONS To apply to the DC, please submit a single-authored paper (which will appear in the proceedings of DC), accompanied by a short email from the thesis advisor stating support for your participation in the DC, describing the current status of the thesis research, and giving your expected date of graduation. The papers for DC should be at most 12 pages in Springer format (formatting instructions can be obtained via http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogVGhpcmQgQ2FsbCBmb3IgRG9jdG9yYWwgQ29uc29ydGl1bQkyMAlMaXN0cwkxOTEJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fcomputer%2Flncs%3FSGWID%3D0-164-2-793332-0%29 and describe the state of the whole PhD project, rather than a specific completed result. The paper should outline the objectives, the problem, state of the art, results obtained so far, and what is still to be done in the frame of the PhD project. If an author prefers to present a completed research result, the paper should be submitted to the main conference or one of accompanying workshops. A paper submitted to the DC may not be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for the DC. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format at CMT: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogVGhpcmQgQ2FsbCBmb3IgRG9jdG9yYWwgQ29uc29ydGl1bQkyMAlMaXN0cwkxOTEJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcmt3.research.microsoft.com%2FADBISDC2017.

ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. The conference brings together people from academia, industry and non-profit organizations and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. It is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and doctoral consortium for graduate students. The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned?5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. The conference venue is the well known 5* beach hotel St. Raphael Resort, situated on one of the largest Blue Flag accredited beaches, only a short coastal drive from the lively centre of town, approximately 10 minutes away (http://www.raphael.com.cy). The Larnaca International Airport is 35 minutes away, and Paphos International Airport is 55 minutes away. There are shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance and a bus stop exactly outside the hotel. The conference organizers have secured very competitive rates for accommodation, both at the venue hotel as well as a number of other hotels at close distance (http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMm5kIEFDTSBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gSW50ZWxsaWdlbnQgVXNlciBJbnRlcmZhY2VzIChJVUkgMjAxNyk6IENhbGwgZm9yIFBhcnRpY2lwYXRpb24JMjIJTGlzdHMJMTg1CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=http%3A%2F%2Fiui.acm.org%2F2017/accommodation.html). In addition, the conference organization offers airport transfers to and from the hotels at very reasonable prices.
