Cortada discusses the key findings from his new book, All the Facts: A History of Information in the United States Since 1870. He will also introduce a framework for studying information history that can be applied at the national level and in more narrowly focused studies. His discussion will review the role of information in the private and public sectors, also how people used information in their public and private lives, and conclude with an argument in favor of understanding the role of information as a central theme in American history.

The Information Ethics Roundtable is a yearly conference which brings together researchers from disciplines such as philosophy, information science, communications, public administration, anthropology and law to discuss ethical issues such as information privacy, intellectual property, intellectual freedom, and censorship. Suggested areas of inquiry include, but are not limited to: * The primacy of data over the individual * Reinforcement of personal preferences through surveillance of personal data * Responsibilities and ethical obligations for data curation and sharing * Privacy and surveillance (including the NSA disclosures) * "Big Data" research and the ethical treatment of human subjects * Moral implications of the Quantified Self * Ethics in data science instruction/pedagogy * Social justice and data collection We invite both individual and group proposals: (1) For individual paper proposals, please submit a 500-word abstract of your paper. (2) For panel, fishbowl, or group proposals, please identify participants with a 100-250 word biography and submit a 1500 word abstract of your topic and treatment.

Wiegand discovers people love their public libraries for three main reasons: access to practical information; the library as a place; and the transformative potential commonplace stories have for library readers. Because conventional LIS research and education mostly focus on the first, and largely overlook and undervalue the last two, he argues that by not having core courses in "reading and libraries" and "library as place" in American Library Association-accredited programs, and by not conducting much more research on the effects of both, LIS research and education fall short of the profession's needs. Come and join ASIS&T and Dr. Wiegand for what will be a riveting discussion. As a primer, this fascinating article will get you thinking about the salient attributes public libraries provide, not only for information studies, but sociologically and politically as well [more (http://asist.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de58424ef2e609298efbb4a00&id=076f3dfb39&e=6c804efb41) ].
