The WebSci14 program includes 29 paper presentations, 35 posters with lightning talks, a documentary, and keynotes by Dame Wendy Hall (U. of Southampton), JP Rangaswami (Salesforce.com), Laura DeNardis (American University) and Daniel Tunkelang (LinkedIn). Several workshops will be held in conjunction with the conference on topics such as Altmetrics, computational approaches to social modeling, the complex dynamics of the Web, the Web of scientific knowledge, interdisciplinary coups to calamities, Web Science education, Web observatories, and Cybercrime and Cyberwar. Conference attendees will have an opportunity to enjoy the exhibit Places & Spaces: Mapping Science, meant to inspire cross-disciplinary discussion on how to track and communicate human activity and scientific progress on a global scale. Finally, we will award prizes for the most innovative visualizations of Web data. For this data challenge, we are providing four large datasets that will remain publicly available to Web scientists.

Please refer to the website for more information about submission ( http://www.asis.org/asist2014/) Posters Posters are a vehicle for face-to-face presentations and interactions using traditional posters, short videos, or live demonstrations. These formats provide opportunities for interactive discussion and feedback about the work. Poster presentations are expected to invite questions and discussion in a personal and less formal setting. Posters offer a unique opportunity to present late-breaking results, work in progress, or research that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Please note, however, that posters describing work that is simply a proposal will not be accepted. Submissions for refereeing should be in the form of an extended abstract of up to 4 pages. The reviewers will use similar criteria for judging the Posters submission as for any other categories, namely the scope of the work, the quality of the research and of the presentation, the perceived impact of the work presented, citations' adequacy and the overall quality of the submission. See you in Seattle!

Message-ID: Hello SIG-III Colleagues, Are there any SIG-III panels planned for ASIST 2014? If my experience working with the US Department of State on library programs in Iraq and Pakistan (and a little bit in Afghanistan) would be of use/interest, I would be happy to participate on a panel in Seattle this fall. I also conducted large-scale knowledge management work during the military draw-down in Iraq and hope to prepare a poster on that as well as my library experience. I'm contacting SIG-KM also, but I'd be delighted to partner with anyone who has work on related themes. After 4+ years in conflict zones, I have completed my service with the US State Department and I am beginning a PhD program at the iSchool at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. I am looking forward to being active in ASIST again, and SIG-III. See you all in Seattle!

Shortlisted sites will be notified before the end of September 2014. -- Background -- Candidate institutions must have the ability to host a four-day conference of approximately 300-500 attendees (OR2014 held recently in Helsinki, Finland drew more than 450 people). This includes appropriate access to conference facilities, lodging, and transportation, as well as the ability to manage a range of supporting services (food services, internet services, and conference social events; conference web site; management of registration and online payments; etc.). The candidate institutions and their local arrangements committee must have the means to support the costs of producing the conference through attendee registration and independent fundraising. Fuller guidance is provided in the Open Repositories Conference Handbook on the Open Repositories wiki. -- Expressions of Interest Guidelines -- Organisations interested in proposing to host the OR2016 conference should follow the steps listed below: 1. Expressions of Interest (EoIs) must be received by August 24th, 2014. Please direct these EoIs and any enquiries to OR Steering Committee Chair Carol Minton Morris . 2. As noted above, the Open Repositories wiki has a set of pages at Open Repositories Conference Handbook which offer guidelines for organizing an Open Repositories conference. Candidate institutions should pay particular attention to the pages listed at "Preparing a bid" before submitting an EoI. 3. The EoI must include: ? the name of the institution (or institutions in the case of a joint bid) ? an email address as a first point of contact ? the proposed location for the conference venue with a brief paragraph describing ? the local amenities that would be available to delegates, including its proximity to a reasonably well-served airport 4. The OR Steering Committee will review proposals and may seek advice from additional reviewers. Following the review, one or more institutions will be invited to submit a detailed proposal. 5. Invitations to submit a detailed proposal will be issued before the end of September 2014; institutions whose interest will not be taken up will also be notified at that time. The invitations sent out will provide a timeline for submitting a formal proposal and details of additional information available to the shortlisted sites for help in the preparation of their bid. The OR Steering Committee will be happy to answer specific queries whilst proposals are being prepared. -- About Open Repositories -- Since 2006 Open Repositories has hosted an annual conference that brings together users and developers of open digital repository platforms.
