[Sigifp-l] Call for IEP-related panelists

Wed Mar 14 20:37:48 EDT 2018

I think we may be talking about two different things.

1.The info Emily shared is focused ideas that we discussed in 2017 about a pre-conference workshop for 2018 (usually half a day long) that would be a sustained though somewhat informal look at a topic with multiple angles/ perspectives/ technologies/ etc. (It looks like, in 2018, all workshops will be post-conference.) Here are guidelines for workshops: https://www.asist.org/am18/call-for-proposals/workshops/.

2. The call I circulated a few days ago is from the Social Media SIG and is a call for a panel—that is, 3-5 people who briefly discuss one area during the regular conference. They would be happy to have some SIG-IEP folks participate.

See here for more info on the two types of submissions: https://www.asist.org/am18/call-for-proposals/ (scroll down to “Submission Types” for details).

I hope this disambiguates the past several emails. Perhaps setting up a conference call where we could discuss ideas would be beneficial? (I leave that in the hands of John Burgess, who is this year’s chair, or someone else who wants to step forward).

To re-ambiguate things (haha), I’m interested in a floating a third idea: a panel about the ways that emerging technologies can restrain or enhance information access, and the ethics therein. I would be willing to lead the development and submission efforts on this one if other folks are interested.

Finally, to lead efforts on any of the following generally entails: a) developing the idea fully and getting collaborators on board b) writing the first draft of the submission c) soliciting feedback and revision d) submitting the proposal by the deadline e) shepherding collaborators just before and during the presentation and f) coordinating with ASIST administration if it is a workshop. Written out like that, it sounds like a long list, but it’s not really too bad. Most of it happens in bits, not all at once, and generally people are willing to collaborate and pitch in.

I suggest changing the email subject line to make clear what we’re talking about:
-Use “2018 workshop” if you’re referring to a half-day workshop based on the ideas Emily circulated (or, honestly, it could draw from different ideas)
-Use “Social Media panel” if you’re referring to the call for panelists that I circulated a few days ago
-Use “Information Access panel” if you’re referring to the proposal I just mentioned above
-Make up a different subject line if it’s about none of the above

Here’s what we discussed in DC:

Here are some ideas we’ve discussed in preparation for the ASIST Annual Meeting 2018. The theme is:  Building an ethical and sustainable information future with emerging technologies.

I’ve just written down the notes as I took them at the SIG pre-conference workshop. Feel free to annotate, add, change, etc. Add your name in specific areas if you want to work on those areas.

Sustainability and policy and ethics
    -disappearing data
-scientific infrastructures that make environmental sustainability research possible

Toll/impact of information technology on developing world
    -such as disposal of lost/broken/discarded items
    -offshoring (information jobs)
    -extraction of resources for computing devices (mining)
    -could collaborate with SIG III (international)

Hate speech/ dignity of persons
    -could work with SIG social media

Canada (do comparative policy with U.S.)
-universal access and internet development
-multiple languages--oral histories
    -talk to Canadians about information policy (University of British Columbia?)

Should it be based on the document sent out earlier? If so I can probably draft something. What would taking the lead entail? Is there documentation about it?

Hi all,

I’m happy to coordinate, but don’t have time to take the lead right now either. Is anyone willing to pull together a paragraph or two that might serve as a proposal seed? We can collectively work on rounding it into shape after that.

Cheers,

John

Thanks, Shannon!

Is anyone taking the lead on our pre-conference workshop proposal?  I have heard some interest from a few people but I will not be able to shepherd this through.

Friends, the Social Media SIG of ASIST has issued an interesting call that is probably relevant to many of us. Please see the attached.
