Subject: [Sigia-l] SJSU SLIS Student Research Journal Publishes Volume 3,
Issue 2
Message-ID: <085901cf08ba$c01f9bf0$405ed3d0$@sjsu.edu>
SJSU SLIS Graduate Students' Articles Explore the Changing Role of
Librarians
The Student Research Journal's
(SRJ) latest issue features two articles written by graduate students Julia
Wells and Tony Brooke, who are enrolled in the exclusively online library
and information science master's program at the San Jose State University
School of Library and Information Science (SJSU SLIS), along with an
introductory essay written by the SRJ editor-in-chief and SJSU SLIS graduate
student Adrienne Mathewson.
Wells' article " The
Female Librarian in Film: Has the Image Changed in 60 Years?" examines the
image of the female librarian within the social context of film. Wells
studies various movie scenes in which people visit libraries seeking
information, studying, and conducting other library activities to determine
how librarians are portrayed by the media.
Brooke's article " Open
Source Integrated Library Systems in Public Libraries" examines how the
electronic age affects the way information is delivered in both presentation
and content. He discusses the advantages of free and open source software
(FOSS) within the library system stating that collaboration between
librarians and open source developers is a natural fit, as both have the
common trait of being "obsessive about sharing information."
In her introductory
essay, Mathewson points out that although both students' articles explore
diverse topics, a theme emerges: "Despite the rapidly changing role of the
librarian from the stereotypical stern female librarian to the
technologically hip librarian of today, librarians still protect the right
to free and accessible information to the public."
This is the sixth issue of the journal, which was launched in 2010. Each
issue is developed by current SJSU SLIS graduate students selected by a
competitive process to serve one-year terms on the editorial team. Working
with SJSU SLIS faculty advisor and associate professor
Dr. Anthony
Bernier, the student editors review, select, and edit manuscripts submitted
by students at the SJSU information school and other graduate programs
worldwide.
The SRJ (pronounced surge) offers a great opportunity for graduate students
to showcase their original work in a peer-reviewed publication and
contribute to the body of knowledge in the information professions. The SRJ
has a global readership, with the most downloads from the United States,
India, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom.
The SRJ is an open-source journal, and all the articles are available in PDF
format online at
http://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/slissrj/vol3/iss2/
Call for Submissions
The SRJ invites original research or critical review essay manuscripts from
graduate students at any university on topics in the fields of information
science theory, policy, application or practice. Submissions are accepted on
a rolling basis. See
call for
submissions.
About the Student Research Journal
The SRJ promotes graduate scholarship and intellectual inquiry in library
and information science, archives and records management, and museum studies
by publishing two issues annually. It is San Jose State University's first
student-governed research journal. For more information about the SRJ,

Subject: [Sigia-l] Legal Design Jam - Milan February 11th - Registration now
open
Message-ID:
After Stanford, Berkeley and Helsinki, we invite everyone to join us in
Milan on February 11 for another
Legal Design Jam
which will take place
at Talent Garden, via Merano 16.
Registration is now open on Eventbrite
We look for motivated Information Architects, Information Designers, UX
people.
A Legal Design Jam brings together a group of motivated individuals from
different fields (e.g. designers, lawyers, policy-makers, coders,
innovators, business people?) and, together, give an extreme user-centric
makeover to a legal document. The idea is borrowed from hackathons and
service jams, and seeks to engage people to rethink and innovate the very
concept of what a legal document should be, look and feel.
During an intensive, hands-on day, the participants will ideate and
prototype a new version of the document, creating visualizations and good
layouts, rethinking the structure of the document in terms of good
storytelling and, where possible,simplifying its language.
Please notice: The language of the event is Italian.
The event is organized by Stefania Passera researcher at University of
Aalto and Giorgio Trono, lawyer and startup founder.
For info please contact *legaldesignjam(at)gmail.com *or

The 10th annual Taxonomy Boot Camp will be held again in Washington DC from November 4-5 as part of KMWorld. The call for speakers is now open, deadline for proposals is March 20. Proposals for individual sessions, panels and workshops are all welcome, covering any aspect of taxonomy/ontology/vocabulary design, management, integration and use. See full details at http://www.taxonomybootcamp.com/2014/, or submit your proposal online at http://www.taxonomybootcamp.com/2014/CallForSpeakers.aspx.
Taxonomy Boot Camp brings together practitioners and experts in taxonomy, vendors who have created tools to help manage your taxonomies, and novices who are starting out in the world of information management. Two parallel tracks on the first day provide those new to the field with the nuts and bolts they need to get up to speed, and expert practitioners with insights into how other professionals have made their organizations more successful through better use of taxonomies. On the second day of the Boot Camp, everyone shares in case studies, practical sessions on taxonomy tools and their use, and cutting edge developments in the field. Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn about tools and techniques you can use to bring your information clouds together, and meet the people who can help you be successful in your efforts.

Taming the news beast:
finding context and value in text and data
Wednesday 1st April 2014 (14.00-17.45)
Chemistry Lecture Theatre, University College London WC1H 0AJ
Don???t miss the first ISKO UK afternoon meeting of 2014 in London on
Tuesday 1st April 2014 on the topic "Taming the news beast - Finding
context and value in text and data", organized by member Helen Lippell.
The meeting is preceded by our AGM at 1pm, to which interested
non-members are most welcome as observers
As content volumes and sources have exploded, for news producers and
consumers alike it has become harder to extract context and value. The
rise of digital publishing has eroded print revenues, and companies have
to be innovative in packaging their offerings for a competitive
marketplace. Consumers too are faced with an unprecedented information
overload and need ways to ensure they see only the services they truly
value. As knowledge organizers, how do we address the challenges?
You will find the programme and other details of the event, and can
register until March 28thvia the ISKO UK site
athttp://www.iskouk.org/events/news_beast_April_2014.htmThe event is
freeto ISKO members and to full-time students. The fee for non-members
is just ??40. All fees must be paid in advance - there is no provision
for payment on arrival. Registration opens at 13.30and we shall start
promptly at 2 p.m.Please pass this invitation on to any colleagues who
may be interested. We hope to see you there.Twitter #ISKOUKNEWBE
Two speakers from the BBC will start us off, showing how the development
and adoption of ontologies has enabled a revolution in the processes
behind news broadcasting. It will be interesting to compare this with
the story from ABC News in the USA, where our generous sponsor LAC Group
was brought in to revolutionise the production process. Cost-effective
options for smaller players will be addressed too, in a talk about
AnnoMarket, a pan-European research project to launch a cloud-based
marketplace for text analytics. And finally we shall hear from the Press
Association about semantic data management, tagging interfaces and
triple store management.
ISKO is a not-for-profit scientific/professional association with the
objective of promoting research and communication in the domain of
knowledge organization, within the broad field of information science
and related disciplines. Founded in 2007, our UK Chapter has been
attracting lively and steadily growing audiences to its afternoon
meeting series (see slides and recordings
athttp://www.iskouk.org/events.htm) as well as its very successful third
biennial conference (http://www.iskouk.org/conf2013/index.htm
) last year.

Subject: [Sigia-l] Registration is open for Symposium on Communicating
Complex Information (SCCI)
Message-ID: <52E678C8.4040203@gmail.com>
Registration is now open and we invite everyone to join us on February
24-25 for the Symposium on Communicating Complex Information (SCCI).
February 24-25, 2014
East Carolina University
Greenville NC
http://workshop.design4complexity.com/home.php
The future will see the design of information and communication
technologies that serve ever more complex purposes and problems. For
these technologies, creating user centered design is particularly
challenging when users are engaged in sophisticated knowledge work and
collaborations and do not want to become power users to conduct this
work electronically. Goals of this workshop are to clarify what we
already know about communicating complex information, how to apply that
understanding in to the work environment, and to clarify our
understanding of what issues urgently need further research.
We hope to reach new insights about
Current major research issues that need to be addressed
Ways to transform research into practical applications
