For example, one great resource is the section UNPUBLISHED MATERIALS (INCLUDING AUDIO AND VIDEO), ORAL HISTORIES, THESES, DISSERTATIONS, AND WEB GUIDES at Bob Williams' 2012 work https://www.asist.org/about/history-of-information-science/bibliography-of-information-science-and-technology/ Many efforts are scattered at schools around the USA and world. As we report to each other, please consider joining an effort by HFIS to publish such a comprehensive list. Thanks as always!

This book describes OCLC's contributions to the transformation of the Internet from a web of documents to a Web of Data. As many in the library community have acknowledged, the new Web is a growing 'cloud' of interconnected resources that identify the things people want to know about when they approach the Internet with an information need. The linked data paradigm is a promising framework for delivering on this promise that is achieving critical mass just as it has become clear that library standards for resource description are nearing obsolescence. In 2015, the authors of the book reported on the technical details underlying the publication of RDF datasets extracted from MARC bibliographic and authority records in WorldCat, VIAF, FAST, and the Dewey Decimal Classification. Taken together, these resources represent some of the oldest, largest, and most widely used RDF datasets published to date by the library sector. But these projects are only a start, a technical proof of concept. Going forward, the transformation to linked data will encourage librarians extend their focus from legacy conversion to original description, and to create better models of resources not described well in MARC This is an opportunity as well as a challenge. This presentation gives an update on OCLC's linked data experiments since the book was published nearly two years ago.

NetSci 2017 aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners working in the emerging area of network science. The conference fosters interdisciplinary communication and collaboration in network science research across computer and information sciences, physics, mathematics, statistics, life sciences, neuroscience, environmental sciences, social sciences, finance and business, arts and design. NetSci 2017 is a combination of: - Satellite Symposia (June 19 & 20) -- Satellites will be announced Jan 15 - An International School for students and non-experts (June 19 & 20) See the slate here: http://netsci2017.net/school - A 3-day Conference (June 21-23) featuring research in a wide range of topics and in different formats, including keynote and invited talks, oral presentations, posters, and lightning talks.

ERD?S-R?NYI PRIZE The Erd?s-R?nyi Prize is awarded each year to a selected young scientist (under 40 years old on the day of the nomination deadline) for their achievements in research activities in the area of network science, broadly construed. While the achievements can be both theoretical and experimental, the prize is aimed at emphasizing outstanding contributions relevant to the interdisciplinary progress of network science. Candidate dossiers are due March 1, 2017 and self-nominations are not accepted. Details can be found at: http://netsci2017.net/erdos-renyi.
