The symposium aims to cover all aspects of Document Computing - issues ranging from the fundamentals of document architectures and standards for markup, through storage, management, retrieval, authentication and workflow, to active and virtual documents. The symposium emphasises both commercial and academic issues by encouraging a variety of submissions. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ The symposium topics include (but are not restricted to) the following: - Cognitive Aspects of Documents - Digital Libraries - Document Databases - Document Standards (XML, SGML, etc.) - Document Summarisation - Enterprise Search - Evaluation - Information Retrieval - Multimedia Document Management - Multimedia Resource Discovery - Natural Language Techniques and Documents - Personalised Documents - Retrieval Models and Ranking - Search Engine Architectures and Scalability - User Studies Involving Documents - Web Documents - Web Search SUBMISSIONS ----------- All submissions must be original work, not previously published elsewhere, and not currently submitted to any other conference or journal. Electronic copies of accepted papers will be made available through the ACM Digital Library as part of the ICPS collection. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, in PDF format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Full papers have a maximum of length of 8 pages including all references, and short papers have a maximum length of 4 pages including references. All submissions will be fully refereed using a single blind refereeing process, at their full published length, and will comply with DEST criteria for fully-refereed conference papers (category E1). Papers will be submitted using Easy Chair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adcs20140 Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the symposium to present the work. Note also that it is insufficient for an author to register and pay for the symposium to be regarded as fulfilling this obligation. Authors of accepted papers will have to sign the ACM rights management form to comply with publication in the ACM digital library. For more information see the ACM authors page. FULL PAPERS ----------- Full papers should describe new contributions or analyse research issues. Submissions should be at most eight pages long (around 4000 words); over-length submissions risk immediate rejection. Refer to the guidelines for papers for details of the required format. POSTERS, SHORT PAPERS AND INDUSTRY STATUS REPORTS ------------------------------------------------- To encourage participation by industry and to provide a place for work of a more speculative nature, ADCS invites submissions for short papers, up to a maximum of four pages (around 2000 words). A typical proposal might describe a leading-edge solution to a practical problem in document management. Short papers follow the same format as for full papers. STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS --------------------- Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, students will be able to receive travel support to attend and present at ADCS 2014.

Chaoqun Ni has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in advanced statistics, logistics and supply chain management, evaluation resource and service, and quantitative analysis of information. Currently, Ni is finishing her doctorate in information science in the Department of Information and Library Science in the School of Informatics & Computing at Indiana University. Her research interests lie at the intersection of science policy, science and technology studies and scholarly communication in the context of data-intensive science. http://www.simmons.edu/gslis/faculty/fulltime/ni.php Amber Stubbs teaches computer science and library and information science courses about data structures and algorithms, programming and theory of programming languages, and information retrieval. Stubbs received her doctorate in computer science from Brandeis University. Her doctoral dissertation involved creating an annotation methodology to extract high-level information ? such a hospital patient's medical diagnosis ? from narrative texts. She developed the Multi-Purpose Annotation Environment (MAE) and Multi-document Adjudication Interface (MAI) software, which is used at institutions around the world for natural language processing research. http://www.simmons.edu/gslis/faculty/fulltime/stubbs.php GSLIS also congratulates two members of the faculty who have been granted tenure, Associate Professors Lisa Hussey and Melanie Kimball. http://simmons.edu/gslis/for/current/news/blog/2014/02/gslis-faculty-lisa-hussey-and-melanie-kimball-receive-tenure.php -- Alisa M.

We are looking for original chapters on this topic - from scholars in academia and industry. For many years, information retrieval has focused on individual users searching for information. Algorithms have assumed that one person is reviewing the results, and user interfaces have supported the needs of individual searchers. CIS - also referred to as collaborative information retrieval and collaborative search - focuses on the notion that information seeking is not always a solitary activity, and that people working in collaboration to perform information-seeking tasks should be studied and supported. CIS occurs in many contexts, including healthcare, business intelligence, technical fields, strategic research, information analysis, planning tasks, and everyday activities such as shopping and travel. While the submission could be a synthesis of some of the prior works, it should not be published before. Manuscripts may describe research, experiences, and software tools/algorithms/architectures focused on support for collaborative information seeking. Specific topics include ? CIS theories and models; ? Design experiences of CIS systems; ? User Interfaces for CIS systems and tools; ? CIS applications and use cases in different domains, such as e-learning environments, healthcare, office work, and intelligence analysis; ? Approaches for incorporating CIS with social search; ? Issues related to collaborators? awareness of actions, Team/group aspects and participants? roles; ? Evaluation measures for CIS systems; ? Methodologies for studying CIS; and ? Software tools and algorithms to support collaborative search. All chapter submissions are subject to double peer review based on both technical merit and relevance to Springer CSCW book series readership. Accepted chapters will be professionally edited for content and style.

To inspire the development of complete MIR systems. 2. To promote the notion of user experience as a first-class research objective in the MIR community. =Dataset= A set of music 10,000 music audio tracks is provided for the GC14UX. It will be a subset of tracks drawn from the Jamendo collection's CC-BY licensed works (http://www.jamendo.com/en/welcome). The Jamendo collection contains music in a variety of genres and moods, but is mostly unknown to most listeners. This will mitigate against the possible user experience bias induced by the differential presence (or absence) of popular or known music within the participating systems. As of May 20, 2014, the Jamendo collection contains 14742 tracks with the ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ CC-BY license). The CC-BY license allows others to distribute, modify, optimize and use your work as a basis, even commercially, as long as you give credit for the original creation. This is one of the most permissive licenses possible. The 10,000 tracks in GC14UX will be sampled (w.r.t. maximizing music variety) from the Jamendo collection with CC-BY license and made available for participants (system developers) to download to build their systems. =Participating Systems= Unlike conventional MIREX tasks, participants are not asked to submit their systems. Instead, the systems will be hosted by their developers. All participating systems need to be constructed as websites accessible to users through normal web browsers. Participating teams will submit the URLs to their systems to the GC14UX team. To ensure a consistent experience, evaluators will see participating systems in fixed size window: 1024x768. Please test your system for this screen size. See the evaluation webform on the task wiki for a better understanding of our E6K-inpsired evaluation system design. ==Potential Participants== Please put your names and email contacts in the place provided on the task wiki page. It is encouraged that you give your team a cool name! =Evaluation= As written in the name of the Grand Challenge, the evaluation will be user-centered. All systems will be used by a number of human evaluators and be rated by them on several most important criteria in evaluating user experience. ==Criteria== Note that the evaluation criteria or its descriptions may be slightly changed in the months leading up to the submission deadline, as we test it and work to improve it. Given the GC14UX is all about how users perceive their experiences of the systems, we intend to capture the user perceptions in a minimally intrusive manner and not to burden the users/evaluators with too many questions or required data inputs. The following criteria are grounded on the literature of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Experience (UX), with a careful consideration on striking a balance between being comprehensive and minimizing evaluators' cognitive load. Evaluators will rate systems on the following criteria: 1. OVERALL SATISFACTION: Overall, how do rate the experience of using this system? 2. LEARNABILITY: How easy was it to figure out how to use the system? 3. ROBUSTNESS: How good is the system's ability to warn you when you're about to make a mistake and allow you to recover? 4. AFFORDANCES: How well does the system allow you to perform what you want to do? 5. PRESENTATION: How well does the system communicate what's going on? (How well do you feel the system informs you of its status? Can you clearly understand the labels and words used in the system? How visible are all of your options and menus when you use this system?) 6. OPEN TEXT FEEDBACK: An open-ended question is provided for evaluators to give feedback if they wish to do so. ==Evaluators== Evaluators will be users aged 18 and above. For this round, evaluators will be drawn primarily from the MIR community through solicitations via the ISMIR-community mailing list. The evaluation assignment webform developed by the GC14UX team will ensure all participating systems will get equal number of evaluators. ==Task for evaluators== To motivate the evaluators, a defined yet open task is given to the evaluators: "You are creating a short video about a memorable occasion that happened to you recently, and you need to find some (copyright-free) songs to use as background music." The task is to ensure that evaluators have a (more or less) consistent goal when they interact with the systems. The goal is flexible and authentic to the evaluators' lives ("a recent, memorable occasion"). As the task is not too specific, evaluators can potentially look for a wide range of music in terms of genre, mood and other aspects. This allows great flexibility and virtually unlimited possibility in system design. Another important consideration in designing the task is the music collection available for this GC14UX: the Jamendo collection. Jamendo music is not well-known to most users/evaluators, whereas many more commonly seen music information tasks are more or less influenced by users' familiarity to the songs and song popularity. Through this task of "finding (copyright-free) background music for a self-made video", we strive to minimize the need of looking for familiar or popular music. ==Evaluation results== Statistics of the scores given by all evaluators will be reported: mean, average deviation. Meaningful text comments from the evaluators will also be reported. ==Evaluation Webforms== To facilitate the evaluators and minimize their burden, the GC14UX team will provide a set of evaluation forms which wrap around the participating systems. As shown in the following image, the evaluation webforms are for scoring the participating systems, with their client interfaces embedded within an iframe in the left side of the webform. Wireframe examples of the webforms are posted on the task wiki. =Organization= ==Important Dates== *July 1: announce the GC *Sep. 21st: deadline for system submission *Sep. 28th: start the evaluation *Oct. 20th: close the evaluation system *Oct. 27th: announce the results *Oct. 31st: MIREX and GC session in ISMIR2014 ==What to Submit== A URL to the participating system. ==Contacts== The GC14UX team consists of: J.

This standard will require a Registration Authority for its implementation and ongoing operation. A Call for Candidates inviting proposals from qualified organizations interested in serving as the Registration Authority for ISO 17316 has been issued. Deadline for proposals is September 1, 2014. The ISLI standard specifies a new identifier of links between entities (or their names) in the field of information and documentation. These entities may be documents, media resources, people or more abstract items such as times or places. By identifying links between entities that are related to each other they can, for example, be rendered jointly. As more linked data applications are implemented, it is anticipated that many more uses for the ISLI will be found.

Nonetheless, it has been observed that although contextual aspects are included in most research, they tend to serve as the backdrop of a study, and not as its focus. Stronger emphasis on context will enhance our understanding of information behavior. The purpose of this symposium is to explore the role and impact of context, aiming to advance scholarship and knowledge concerning this key component of information behavior research. This symposium will focus on themes including, but not limited to: ? Conceptual and theoretical aspects: Focusing on the conceptual and theoretical understanding of context in information behavior research, papers may explore questions such as the following: What does ?context? really mean? What is the nature of context in the research frameworks of information behavior studies (e.g., as the background/setting, the explanatory factor, the manipulation condition, or the outcome variable of a research study)? How are relationships between individuals, groups, and contexts surrounding the information behavior conceptualized? To what extent and in what way do variables representing features at broader levels of aggregation (e.g., group level, organizational level, societal level) affect the information behavior of an individual? What philosophical and theoretical perspectives and frameworks can be used to study contexts? ? Methodological aspects: From the research method perspective, papers may examine issues such as: What factors need to be considered when selecting methods and/or instruments for studies of various contexts? What are the methodological challenges and opportunities of studying information behavior in a particular context? ? Context-related research: With strong focus on contexts, papers may probe questions such as: What is the typical information behavior in a particular context? How different is the information behavior in one context from the other? How does the context factor interact with other factors (e.g., user characteristics)? ? Meta-analysis of context-related research: Context-related research may be analyzed to explore questions such as: What kinds of research have been done in relation to contexts? How do different aspects of context impact different LIS areas (e.g., information literacy, design of information systems/services, etc.) and in what way? CALL FOR PARTICIPATION All the interested researchers, graduate students, and information professionals are invited to submit a proposal for a short presentation (i.e., approximately 5-8 minutes in the form of lightning talks). Proposals for lightning talks should be one to two pages long (500-1000 words) and outline the topic and themes that will be addressed during the talk. Proposed topics must be relevant to the Symposium theme - "Context in information behavior research." Submission guidelines for Lightning talk proposals: - Author?s name, title, and institutional affiliation should be included at the top of the proposal. - Proposal text must be 500-1000 words. - Submission should be in pdf or doc format.

Downs Intellectual Freedom Award. The deadline for nominations is October 1, 2014. Given annually, the award acknowledges individuals or groups who have furthered the cause of intellectual freedom, particularly as it impacts libraries and information centers and the dissemination of ideas. Granted to those who have resisted censorship or efforts to abridge the freedom of individuals to read or view materials of their choice, the award may be in recognition of a particular action or a long-term interest in and dedication to the cause of intellectual freedom. The Robert B. Downs Intellectual Freedom Award was established in 1969 by the GSLIS faculty to honor Dean Emeritus Downs, a champion of intellectual freedom, on the occasion of his 25th anniversary as director of the School. Previous winners have included DaNae Leu (2013) for her efforts to keep a controversial picture book on the shelves of her elementary school library; Librotraficante (2012) for its efforts to oppose the censorship of ethnic and cultural studies materials in Arizona; Marianna Tax Choldin (2011) for her international work in educating librarians about intellectual freedom; the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (2010) for its consistent dedication to the active defense of First Amendment rights; and the West Bend (WI) Community Memorial Library for its steadfast advocacy on behalf of intellectual freedom in the face of a library challenge (2009). Libraries Unlimited, an imprint of ABC-CLIO Publishing Company, provides an honorarium to the recipient and co-hosts the reception in honor of the recipient. The reception and award ceremony for the 2014 Downs Intellectual Freedom Award will take place in January 2015 during the American Library Association?s Midwinter Meeting in Chicago, Illinois. Letters of nomination and documentation about the nominee should be sent by email to weech at illinois.edu with a copy to gslisdean at illinois.edu or in paper form to Terry Weech, Associate Professor, GSLIS, 501 East Daniel Street, Champaign, IL 61820 by October 1, 2014. Questions should be directed to Associate Professor Terry Weech at weech at illinois.edu. -- Kim Schmidt Director of Publications and Media Relations Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 501 East Daniel Street Champaign, IL 61820 (217) 265-6391 www.lis.illinois.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Summer Getaway: Professional Development for School Librarians event consisted of four workshops spread across a three-day period, June 23-25, which focused on emerging trends and issues in school librarianship and offered opportunities to gain hands-on experience using the newest technologies. Topics included performance evaluations and student learning objectives; ebooks and ereaders; iPads and apps for K-8 library instruction; and Google apps. The workshops were led by experts in the field, including librarians, media specialists, an assessment consultant from the Illinois State Board of Education, and a technology and classroom instructor. Since many school librarians serve as the only librarian for several schools or even for an entire district, opportunities for these educators to share resources and network with peers are few and far between. The Summer Getaway allowed participants to connect with other professionals in their field throughout the event and at a luncheon sponsored by the Illinois School Library Media Association (ISLMA) on June 25. As a library resource center director and president of the Mt. Prospect Education Association, Michelle Waters-Walsh will take what she learned at the Getaway back to her district and launch an initiative to help educators implement student learning objectives. ?Now I have a better framework for how we?ll do that with our school librarians and I?ll be able to share that with them,? she said. ?Getting to know what other librarians are doing at other schools, being able to network with them and share ideas with them, is just an incredible opportunity. I?m the only librarian at our middle school and we?re only a four-school district, so I don?t get to meet a lot of other librarians. This is like one-stop shopping for networking with other librarians at other levels.? ?The Summer Getaway event brought together experts from the field and the expertise of the nation?s top school both for library and information science and for youth services to offer the kind of continuing professional development that is crucial for school librarians today,? said Georgeann Burch, GSLIS K-12 program coordinator. Burch co-organized the event with Tonyia Tidline, director for professional development. ?We were so pleased to welcome librarians from across Illinois, and we hope that the supportive, educational network that we built this week extends beyond the three-day workshop series and allows participants to continuing working together to apply what they learned here,? said Burch. The Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Illinois is the premier LIS program in the nation, consistently ranked number one by U.S. News and World Report. We offer advanced degrees with areas of specialization including data curation, digital libraries, social and community informatics, socio-technical data analytics, and youth services as well as continuing professional development opportunities. Courses are available both on campus and online.

This is an opportunity for scholars to fine-tune position papers and works-in-progress as they are informed via the workshop discussions and activities, and brainstorm about methodological approaches to studying trust in the context of government and corporate use of big data, emerging technologies, and globalized infrastructures. Participants who do not present a work-in-progress or position paper, but are in attendance as a general workshop participant, will have the opportunity to further develop ideas and interests that are related to information policy, ethics, and trust. This workshop will enable participants to engage, challenge, support, and encourage each other on questions such as: the importance of trust; theorizing the concept of trust; conceptualizing trust around a set of relationships; understanding trust in the relationship between citizens and the state; reconciling trust with NSA (and other agency) surveillance; trust in international or intra-national state to state relationships; and trust in other communities, including between and among dominant and underrepresented groups in society. We will address questions such as: * How are researchers conceptualizing trust in the age of data? * How can scholars investigate infrastructures of trust? * Are understandings of trust shifting? If so, with what consequences, in which contexts? * When is trust justified? When is it not justified? Should decision-makers focus on and build trustworthiness rather than (mere) trust? * What are the economic, political and legal implications of trust in the age of data (big and small)? * How does policy design build/undermine trust? * What are the ethics of trust in the age of data? This workshop aims to bring together scholars from across the information science fields (LIS, Archives, Museums, HCI, Law, Policy) to lend their respective lens's to a critical exploration of trust. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION All interested researchers, graduate students, and information professionals are invited to submit a proposal for: 1) works-in-progress research papers, 2) short position statements and/or short information policy/trust scenarios (e.g., critical reflection on policies already in place or developing new policy), 3) abstracts describing possible existing or novel methodological approaches to researching the relationships between data and trust in a range of contexts.
