Science, Technology, Art and International Relations (STAIR) will allow us to share our work in a more focused way and also to begin incorporating work from other disciplines that have relevance for understanding the implications of technology for global politics. It should have special resonance with many of you who work on political aspects of Internet technology. Next year in New Orleans, we will present our inaugural program and I wanted to extend an invitation to any of you who may be interested to submit a paper or a panel/roundtable proposal. The CfP is below but don't hesitate to contact me or the program chairs (listed at the end) if you have any questions. Hope to see some of you in New Orleans! Madeline Call for Papers: International Studies Association 2015 Annual Convention Science, Technology, Art and International Relations (STAIR) Section Deadline: 1 June 2014 http://www.isanet.org/Conferences/NewOrleans2015/Call.aspx The newly chartered ISA section on Science, Technology, Art and International Relations (STAIR) recognizes that science, technology, and art are critical to global politics. They shape much of the everyday reality of international security, statecraft, development, design of critical global infrastructures, approaches to social justice, and the practices of global governance. Science, technology and art (i.e., in the form of creativity, the arts, architecture and design) permeate international affairs in the form of material elements and networks, technical instruments, systems of knowledge and scientific practices. They challenge existing conceptual approaches and prompt us to step beyond IR canons to seek inter-disciplinary collaborations. Through this new section we seek to generate the space for International Relations as a discipline to engage these matters through productive intellectual conversations with existing subsections as well as with other disciplines. STAIR will facilitate theoretical understandings of how we go about creating, assessing, and deliberating scientific, technological and artistic design and their impact on the shifts of contemporary world order. At the next ISA in New Orleans, (February 18th-21st) STAIR seeks to engage particularly with the impact of science, technology and art on ?global IR? and how scientific and artistic practices, technological infrastructures and artistic performances open up global understandings of international and global affairs. STAIR encourages submissions of individual papers, (innovative) panels and roundtables that explore the following themes: - the role of STS methods and sensibilities in International Relations - the different ?regional? impacts of science, technology and art on International Relations and, especially, the role of technologies and infrastructures in post-colonial contexts - the role of science, technology and art in the rise of non-Western countries and in global power shifts - the ways in which perspectives of science and technology studies (STS) on contemporary developments in science, technology and art challenge traditional modes and practices of International Relations - debates on understanding and misunderstanding the global politics of emerging technologies (such as nano-tech, surveillance instruments and systems, hacking software etc) - indigenous and non-Western technologies and their impact on contemporary global politics - exploring and critiquing the diversity of techno-fetishisms in international affairs - the role STS debates and concepts can play to reframe core notions of IR (including sovereignty, power, anarchy and governance) and to challenge normative assumptions in International Relations - innovative panels and roundtables that explore the possibility of a jointly ?global? and ?interdisciplinary? International Relations Theory. *Section Programme Chairs:* Michele Acuto, University College London ? m.acuto at ucl.ac.uk Maximilian Mayer, University of Bonn ? maximilian.mayer at uni-bonn.de For more info on STAIR & ISA visit: http://www.isanet.org/ISA/Sections/STAIR You can find out more about special elements (including career courses, workshops, innovative panels etc) of ISA?s program under "Special Convention Programs" area.

The iSchool faculty, staff and students are truly excited that Denice and Heather will be taking on these prestigious leadership roles! The ALA Council is the governing body of the 65,000 member Association. The seventy-six member (only twenty-six of whom are at-large members) Council is the equivalent of the American Library Association?s senate. The Council is the policy-making body of the Association, so the election carries a great deal of responsibility. Their election is testimony to their ability and the faith which the membership has in them. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Springs, Edits e-Book ?Succession Planning and Implementation in Libraries: Practices and Resources Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Gene R. Springs (MSLS ?06), an alumnus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science (SILS),< http://sils.unc.edu> has co-edited the book titled Succession Planning and Implementation in Libraries: Practices and Resources. According to the book?s description, ?As the baby boomer generation begins to retire, the focus shifts to the next generation of global leaders in diverse industries. Within the field of library science, succession planning has become a topic of interest to ensure the success of future libraries as the workforce shifts and enable up-and-coming leaders.? It goes on to state, ?Succession Planning and Implementation in Libraries: Practices and Resources provides valuable insight into the process of implementing succession planning in libraries. This book delves into the challenges and possibilities of a succession plan?s effect on the success of library organizations. Human resources officers, library administrators, academicians, and students will find this book beneficial to furthering their understanding of current practice in succession planning.? Springs, assistant professor and business librarian at the Ohio State University Libraries, co-edited the book with University of Nebraska-Lincoln assistant professor and science librarian in the University Libraries, Kyomi D. Deards. The foreword, which asks the question, ?Is librarianship prepared for the future?? was written by another SILS alumnus, Megan Z. Perez (MSLS ?07), client services manager at Sharp Hue Web Design.
