ISO's TC46/SC9 committee (Information and documentation/Identification and
description) is in the final stages of approving a new standard, ISO 17316,
Information and documentation - International Standard Link Identifier
(ISLI). 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.



The detailed Call for Candidates is available here:

All qualified and interested candidates are encouraged to respond.

Theme: "Context in Information Behavior Research"
Date: November 1, 2014 (Saturday)
Time: 1:30 to 6:30 pm
Location: Sheraton Seattle Hotel, Seattle, WA, USA

ABOUT THE 2014 SIG-USE SYMPOSIUM:
The importance of context in human information behavior research has been
well established. 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

Subject: [Asis-l] GSLIS welcomes nominations for annual intellectual
        freedom award
Message-ID: <CFDAE8B0.1FE7B%kimsch at illinois.edu>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252"

The faculty of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at
the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, seeks nominations for the
Robert B. 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<mailto:weech at illinois.edu> with a copy to
gslisdean at illinois.edu<mailto: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<mailto:weech at illinois.edu>.

Subject: [Asis-l] School librarians walk away with network, knowledge

School librarians walk away with network, knowledge after Summer Getaway



The Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign hosted a series of workshops recently that
brought together school librarians from across the state to learn about
current topics in K-12 librarianship from experts and from each other.



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.

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
