He comes to the field of library and information science after a long and successful career as a civil engineer, having earned a bachelor of science degree in civil and environmental engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2000. As a registered professional engineer in Tennessee and Georgia, he practiced as an engineer for almost ten years designing drinking water and wastewater pipelines and treatment systems throughout the southeast. He entered the field of library and information science to embark on a new career where his technical background could be useful. He brings to the field expertise gained in dealing with scientific and engineering data, problem solving, and project management along with his practical engineering knowledge and experience. He was chosen to be one of three students to be awarded a fellowship at the University of Tennessee in the Data Curation Education in Research Centers (DCERC) project, a grant funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services to train students from diverse scientific backgrounds in data curation and data management best practices. The DCERC program provides Christopher with the specialized knowledge for the future of scientific research and data curation. As a student, Christopher has engaged widely with the profession through presenting posters and lightning talks at conferences in the USA and Europe, participating in panels, and contributing to online resources for librarians. He has been a regular author on the *Hack Library School* blog, as well as the *e-Science Communities *blog.

In particular, technological advances have nurtured a new paradigm of data-intensive research. However, far too much of this activity still takes place in silos, to the detriment of open scholarly inquiry, integrity, and advancement. To counteract this tendency, the University of California Curation Center (UC3) has been developing and deploying a comprehensive suite of curation services that facilitate widespread data management, preservation, publication, sharing, and reuse. Through these services UC3 is engaging with new communities of use: in addition to its traditional stakeholders in cultural heritage memory organizations, e.g., libraries, museums, and archives, the UC3 service suite is now attracting significant adoption by research projects, laboratories, and individual faculty researchers. This webinar will present an introduction to five specific services - DMPTool, DataUp, EZID, Merritt, Web Archiving Service (WAS) - applicable to data curation throughout the scholarly lifecycle, two recent initiatives in collaboration with UC campuses, UC Berkeley Research Hub and UC San Francisco DataShare, and the ways in which they encourage and promote new communities of practice and greater transparency in scholarly research. Biography: Stephen Abrams is the associate director of the University of California Curation Center (UC3) at the California Digital Library (CDL), with responsibility for strategic planning, innovation, and technical oversight of UC3's services, systems, projects, and collections. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Part 1 will discuss the new role of E-Science Librarian. In Part 2, speakers will explore Libraries and Big Data and their role in data curation. You can register for either or both parts. There is a 25% discount to registrants of both parts. Part 1: E-Science Librarianship - Presenters will discuss the role of the library in the academic research enterprise and provide an overview of new librarian strategies, tools, and technologies developed to support the lifecycle of scholarly production and data curation. Specific challenges that face research libraries will be described and potential responses will be explored, along with a discussion of the types of skills and services that will be required for librarians to effectively curate research output. Topics and speakers are: * The Evolution of E-Science Librarianship in the New England Region and Beyond - Elaine Martin, Editor, Journal of eScience Librarianship, University of Massachusetts Medical School * The Digital Research Enterprise: Identifying New Roles for Libraries - Chris Shaffer, University Librarian and Associate Professor, Oregon Health & Science University Library * Seeking Our Niche: Understanding the Needs of Research Personnel to Develop E-Science Services - Megan Sapp Nelson, Associate Professor of Library Sciences, Purdue University Part 2: Libraries and Big Data - Faculty in all disciplines are increasingly creating and/or incorporating big data into their research and institutions are creating repositories and other tools to manage it all.

SITIS spans two inter-related research domains that increasingly play a key role in connecting systems across network centric environments to allow distributed computing and information sharing. SITIS 2013 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered on three main tracks: - The first track titled "Web Computing and Applications (WeCA)" focuses on emerging and novel concepts, architectures, technologies, and methodologies for information management related to the Web and cloud computing. In essence, the Web, with its different versions, has created an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, communities of users with similarly interests can be formed to achieve efficiency and improve performance, etc. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging applications requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including: Data Semantics, Web-Centric Systems, Big Data, Information System Interoperability, Cloud, Cooperative information and Distributed Systems, and Information security - The second track titled "Signal & Image Technologies (SIT)" focuses on recent developments in digital signal processing and pays particular attention to evolutions in audiovisual signal processing, analysis, coding and authentication, and retrieval techniques. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including:Image Processing and Analysis, Signal processing, Image/Video Coding and Authentication, and Applications - The third track titled "Multimedia Information Retrieval and Application (MIRA)" focuses on emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that take into account the amount, type and diversity of multimedia information accessible in distributed computing environment. The internet, social networking, multimedia databases and management of multimedia cultural collections have created the need for cross-fields models, paradigms and techniques for efficient modeling, management and consumption of multimedia contents. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including Multimedia Query and Retrieval; Mobile and Location-Based Media, Social media and Social networking, Multimedia Security, and Multimedia Arts, Entertainment and Digital Culture. Submission and publication -------------------------- The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials, and regular and workshop sessions. SITIS 2013 invites submission of high quality and original papers on the topics of the major tracks described below. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers for technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to track topics. Papers must be up to 8 pages and follow IEEE double columns publication format. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore and major indexes. Important dates ---------------- * Paper Submission: September 08th, 2013 * Acceptance/Reject notification: October 06th, 2013 * Camera ready: October 13th, 2013 * Author registration: October 20, 2013 Committees ----------- General Chairs: Setsuo Tsuruta, Tokyo Denki University, Japan Ernesto Damiani, Universit? degli Studi di Milano, Italy WeCa Track Chairs: Kokou Yetongnon, University of Bourgogne, France Richard Chbeir, University of Pau, France MIRA Track Chairs: Shin'ichi Satoh, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Yuichi Nakamura, Kyoto University, Japan SIT Track Chairs: Andrea Kutics, International Christian University, Japan Albert Dipanda, University of Bourgogne, France More details about each track and detailed topics can be found on the conference website: http://www.sitis-conf.org/
