Good digital data management requires attention to the means of data storage, aspects of archiving data, how data are to be preserved, and the curation of data so that is discoverable, accessible and usable. This online seminar will explore the practical aspects of good data management: how to organize materials during the life of a project, tools and methods that they can integrate into their existing projects and workflows to ensure data is prepared preservation and accessibility once a project is complete. The webinar will: (1) introduce participants to the Center for Digital Antiquity and tDAR (the Digital Archaeological Record), its repository of digital archaeological data and information; (2) identify good digital data management practice as it relates to the topics of data storage, data archiving, long-term preservation, and the access and reuse of archaeological data; and (3) describe best practice for the organization of digital archaeological materials during the life of a project and prepare them for curation and preservation. Webinar sponsored by SIG DL: http://www.asis.org/SIG/sigdl/ Presenters Francis P. McManamon Francis P. McManamon is the Executive Director of Digital Antiquity. Issues and topics related to the management of archaeological data and information is one of his professional focuses.

The NLG program invests in projects that address challenges faced by the library and archive fields and generate results such as new tools, research findings, or models that can be widely used. The LB21 program supports human capital capacity projects for libraries and archives. This call for preliminary proposals has a deadline of September 1, 2016, for both programs. A separate funding opportunity for both programs will be announced in December with a deadline in February 2017. >From the preliminary proposals received in September, IMLS will select applicants and invite them to submit full proposals by January 13, 2016. Applicants who are not invited to continue from the first round of funding may submit new preliminary proposals in February. As outlined in the 2017 IMLS Congressional Justification, IMLS is especially interested in projects that address the following priorities: 1.* Community Anchors:* NLG projects that advance the role of libraries as community anchors that provide civic and cultural engagement, facilitate lifelong learning, promote digital inclusion, and support economic vitality through programming and services. LB21 projects that investigate and build the skills and knowledge of library professionals to support the role of libraries as community anchors that facilitate lifelong learning; enhance civic and cultural engagement; and support economic vitality, through programming and services. 2.* National Digital Platform:* NLG projects that create, develop, and expand the social and technical infrastructure and the open source software applications used by libraries and archives to provide digital content and services to all users in the United States. LB21 projects that increase library professionals' capacity to create, develop, and use the social and technical infrastructure and the open source software applications used by libraries and archives to provide digital content and services to all users in the United States. NDP projects bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital infrastructure for increased efficiencies, cost savings, access, and services. 3.* Curating Collections:* NLG projects that can have a significant national impact on shared services for the preservation and management of digital library collections and content across the country. LB21 projects that increase librarians' and library professionals' capacity to create, preserve, manage, and provide access to digital library collections across the country. Applicants to the LB21 program are required to align their projects with a project category, i.e., National Digital Platform, Community Anchors, or Curating Collections. Projects must also align with a project type, i.e., Pre-Professional; Masters-level and Doctoral-level Programs; Early Career Development; or Continuing Education. The Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries is now a funding category within the National Leadership Grants program, rather than a standalone program. Sparks grants support new tools, products, services, or organizational practices. Sparks preliminary proposals will now be accepted twice a year, instead of full proposals accepted once a year. See the grant program guidelines for more information about LB21 or NLG programs. *Getting Your Questions Answered* IMLS staff members listed on the NLG and LB21 program pages are available by phone and email to answer general questions related to the programs. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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.
