Thank you. *THE DIGITAL HUMANITIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR LIBRARIANS,* *LIBRARIES, AND LIBRARIANSHIP* The redefinition of humanities scholarship has received major attention in higher education over the past few years. The advent of digital humanities has challenged many aspects of academic librarianship. With the acknowledgement that librarians must be a necessary part of this scholarly conversation, the challenges facing subject/liaison librarians, technical service librarians, and library administrators are many. Developing the knowledge base of digital tools, establishing best procedures and practices, understanding humanities scholarship, managing data through the research lifecycle, teaching literacies (information, data, visual) beyond the one-shot class, renegotiating the traditional librarian/faculty relationship as ?service orientated,? and the willingness of library and institutional administrators to allocate scarce resources to digital humanities projects while balancing the mission and priorities of their institutions are just some of the issues facing librarians as they reinvent themselves in the digital humanities sphere. *A CALL FOR PROPOSALS* *College & Undergraduate Libraries, a peer-reviewed journal published by Taylor & Francis, invites proposals for articles to be published in the fall of 2017. The issue will be co-edited by Kevin Gunn (**gunn at cua.edu* *) of the Catholic University of America and Jason Paul (**pauljn at stolaf.edu* *) of St. Olaf College.* The issue will deal with the digital humanities in a very broad sense, with a major focus on their implications for the roles of academic librarians and libraries as well as on librarianship in general. Possible article topics include, but are not limited to, the following themes, issues, challenges, and criticism: ? Developing the project development mindset in librarians ? Creating new positions and/or cross-training issues for librarians ? Librarian as: point-of-service agent, an ongoing consultant, or as an embedded project librarian ? Developing managerial and technological competencies in librarians ? Administration support (or not) for DH endeavors in libraries ? Teaching DH with faculty to students (undergraduate and graduate) and faculty ? Helping students working with data ? Managing the DH products of the data life cycle ? Issues surrounding humanities data collection development and management ? Relationships of data curation and digital libraries in DH ? Issues in curation, preservation, sustainability, and access of DH data, projects, and products ? Linked data, open access, and libraries ? Librarian and staff development for non-traditional roles ? Teaching DH in academic libraries ? Project collaboration efforts with undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty ? Data literacy for librarians ? The lack of diversity of librarians and how it impacts DH development ? Advocating and supporting DH across the institution ? Developing institutional repositories for DH ? Creating DH scholarship from the birth of digital objects ? Consortial collaborations on DH projects ? Establishing best practices for DH labs, networks, and services ? Assessing, evaluating, and peer reviewing DH projects and librarians. Articles may be theoretical or ideological discussions, case studies, best practices, research studies, and opinion pieces or position papers. Proposals should consist of an abstract of up to 500 words and up to six keywords describing the article, together with complete author contact information. Articles should be in the range of 20 double-spaced pages in length. Please consult the following link that contains instructions for authors: http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=wcul20&page= instructions#.V0DJWE0UUdU. Please submit proposals to Kevin Gunn (gunn at cua.edu) by *September 9th, 2016*; please do not use Scholar One for submitting proposals. First drafts of accepted proposals will be due by *February 1, 2017* with the issue being published in the fall of 2017. Feel free to contact the editors with any questions that you may have.

These technology-mediated exchanges can play an important role in how information, and the library, is perceived and used. This book will share perspectives on how to interpret and apply the ALA's Core Values of Librarianship in the context of emerging technologies as well highlight case studies of organizations and applications that exemplify relevant library values. It will be grounded in theory, but be made applicable to a variety of libraries by situating discussions within a framework for decision-making. Authors will retain copyright of their work, and after one year the entire book will be made available open access. Structure The book will be organized into chapters corresponding with the values identified in the ALA's Core Values of Librarianship, but individual chapters do not need to tie directly to any particular interpretation of those values (see ?Chapter Details?). Authors should consider library values in the context of emerging technology, and what the implications are for making decisions about library practice. The editors are interested in considering a wide variety of perspectives and forms of submissions in order to be relevant to a broad audience Each section will include both: * Practical case studies of how to effectively use a particular technology in a library setting * Theoretical models for understanding and interpreting the relevant library value (or values) in context of a relevant technology Most submissions should include at least some elements of theory and practice, but can focus on any aspect. We will also consider submissions featuring just one element (an important theoretical consideration that could impact other works, or a particularly impactful case study). Copyright Priority will be given to producing the best possible final work that is meaningful to a wide audience rather than necessarily ?original research,? so authors may reuse portions of previous works when copyright allows. If doing so, authors are expected to revise their work and provide at minimum an introduction and conclusion that fit with the theme of this volume. Chapter Details For a more context and suggested topics for each chapter visit this document: https://goo.gl/slsCNV Potential Sections Include: ? Confidentiality/Privacy & Intellectual Freedom ? Access/Democracy ? The Public Good/Social Responsibility & Education and Lifelong Learning ? Preservation ? Diversity ? Service ? Professionalism Examples of topics include: * Libraries providing access to encryption technology * Libraries providing training/access to technology that enables expression * Libraries relationship to modern efforts to censor (e.g. NSA; Patriot Act; China?s firewall) * Technology that supports Open Access * The #ICANHAZPDF phenomenon, and technology surrounding interlibrary loan * Licensing/copyright agreements and library values * Preventing link-rot and related issues with archiving websites * Issues surrounding private/public communications online (e.g. preserving e-mails, Facebook posts and other semi-public digital objects stored on private servers) * How library interfaces impact diversity * How library values such as professionalism and service can be embodied in technology decisions Don?t see your topic/idea here? We encourage you to contact the editors at valuesandtechnologyacrl at gmail.com to discuss how your idea may fit within this book?s scope.

Matusiak*, University of Denver *Abebe Rorissa,* University at Albany *Dan Albertson*, University of Alabama *JungWon Yoon*, University of South Florida *Summary* The digital revolution is associated with the proliferation of visual resources and with the increasing use of images in teaching, scholarly activities, communication, and everyday information practices. Visual information seeking and use is a growing area of research in information science. The panel discussion will focus on theoretical and methodological approaches to studying how users seek, select, apply, and organize visual information in a range of information and communication practices. The discussion about theory and research methodologies will be complemented by an example of an empirical study and an inquiry into implications of social media for image use research. The panel will contribute to a better understanding of the current state of image research and will engage the scholarly community in a debate about research methodology and theory development.
