From shannon.oltmann at uky.edu Tue Sep 5 12:06:41 2017 From: shannon.oltmann at uky.edu (Oltmann, Shannon) Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 16:06:41 +0000 Subject: [Sigifp-l] Update on elections Message-ID: Hello colleagues. We need to elect folks for three positions: Chair-elect, communications officer, and treasurer. I'm happy to say that we have received nominations for each position. The nominees are: Chair-Elect: Emad Khazraee (Kent State University, Berkman-Klein Center for Internet and Society) Communications officer: Kenneth Haggerty (University of Memphis Library) Treasurer: Abby Phillips (Utah State University) As a reminder, John Burgess (University of Alabama) is the current Chair-Elect and will become Chair this year. Since there is one nominee for each position, we do not need to conduct a poll. We will meet at the ASIST Annual Meeting in Washington DC (exact day, time, and location still to be determined). At that meeting, we will hand the reins over to the new folks (and I will step down as Chair). Please let me know if you have any questions. (New folks, make sure you are on the listserv; directions here: http://mail.asis.org/mailman/listinfo/sigifp-l ). -Shannon Dr. Shannon M.

I'm collecting a few examples of statements from departments, colleges, universities, etc., that address the current climate (in regards to racism/ Charlottesville/ etc.). I'd love to have links to any statements that you can point me toward (especially at the department/school level). Here's an example of what I'm looking for: Members of the University of Kentucky Community: You are a full shareholder in our University of Kentucky; and I am grateful you are here. Ours is a community of belonging for every race, ethnicity, religion, and identity. Everyone will be respected and be made to feel safe. In that spirit, we choose compassion over hate; understanding over division; knowledge over ignorance; and hope over fear. And we choose to remain unified in the face of any effort to turn us against one another. Being a full shareholder in our community requires that each of us have the courage to give voice to our values. It also requires of us the strength to shoulder the mantle of mutual respect and protection. We have invested aggressively in the infrastructure of safety. But a community of belonging also requires that we be each other's keepers, sharing among us the essential work of maintaining a secure and supportive environment where all of us are free to learn and grow, lifted by hope and unburdened by fear. The dawn of this new semester brings with it the power of possibility. In this space, our students and their teachers can explore the power of ideas; our researchers can harness the power of discovery; our health care providers can facilitate the power of healing; and all of us can improve lives through the power of service. Ours is a community that embraces our common humanity and cares equally for all who call this special place home - through the remarkable power of "we." -Shannon Dr. Shannon M.

At this time, we will introduce our new board members (if they are able to be present) and discuss any business we have. I have created a doodle poll to determine the best time to hold the meeting: https://doodle.com/poll/6u7niqn6uknpv8nh . Please note, ASIST gives us 90-minute time slots.

Lee Neoliberalism, as economic doctrine, as political practice, and even as a ?governing rationality? of contemporary life and work, increasingly encroaches on the Library and Information Studies field. The shift towards more conscious grappling with social justice and human rights debates and concerns has led to LIS scholarship that opens the possibility for addressing neoliberalism and the visible and often hidden roles it plays. Simultaneously practitioners and scholars across LIS regularly face the material realities of such delimiting neoliberal encroachments through continued and largely unquestioned practices that continue to uphold inequities. Despite its far-reaching impact, neoliberalism has yet to be substantively addressed in LIS. This special issue will provide a much-needed transnational forum to critically engage the genealogical threads that constitute the LIS field by interrogating the discursive and material evidences and implications of neoliberalism. Through its myriad definitions and instantiations throughout Information Studies and its associated domains (including archives, libraries, information policy, digital humanities, communication, media studies) and critical theory more broadly, this special issue will offer new ways to think about praxis as both practice and theory critically inform one another. Addressing neoliberalism provides a vital forum for international scholars and practitioners to come together to explore cross-cutting issues, such as: human rights frameworks as situated locally and globally, economic (in)justices, postcoloniality, decolonization, agency, access, ethics, Nation-State identities and citizenship, and belonging. ? The scope of this issue might include research on: - Increasing challenges to information ethics; - Shifting practices among community and institutional information environments; - The use of private contractors in government archives and public libraries; - The entanglement of governmental and educational institutions, libraries and neoliberal policies, worldviews, and values; - Information?s relationship to the economic market/political economy of information more broadly; - Neoliberal conceptions of information and knowledge; - Intellectual and affective labor in contemporary LIS environments; - Libraries and archives as sites of resistance; - The prevalence of neoliberal discourse in LIS research; - The influence of neoliberalism on labor practices in libraries, archives, museums or other information centers; and - Economic inequalities and global justice.
