Le web 2.0 a intensifi? et rendu possible, ? une ?chelle plan?taire, des m?canismes collaboratifs pour la production de contenu. Il s'agit d'une transformation progressive du web traditionnel qui, pendant pr?s de quinze ans, reposait sur un mod?le de diffusion, principalement structur? par les prestataires de services et de contenus. Cette capacit? participative et collaborative du web 2.0 peut dans certains cas gommer d'anciennes fronti?res ou hi?rarchies entre professionnels et amateurs dans diff?rents secteurs d'activit?, qu'ils soient du domaine priv? ou du domaine public (journalisme 2.0, journalisme citoyen, etc.). Les m?tiers li?s ? la cr?ation et ? la diffusion de contenus et des savoirs semblent ?tre particuli?rement touch?s (?diteurs, artistes, graphistes, journalistes, documentalistes, veilleurs, biblioth?caires, archivistes, infos-managers, etc.). L'adoption massive de la technologie du web participatif par le grand public conduit ? une reconfiguration et ? un repositionnement des acteurs dans ces secteurs. Ce num?ro sp?cial vise ? sonder des mutations ou transformations en cours au sein des institutions et acteurs des biblioth?ques, archives, mus?es et m?dias en ligne du fait de la g?n?ralisation des pratiques num?riques du type web 2.0. Les r?dactrices de ce num?ro th?matique de la Revue canadienne des sciences de l'information et de biblioth?conomie invitent les chercheurs provenant de diff?rentes disciplines ? soumettre les r?sultats de travaux originaux non publi?s en lien avec les changements occasionn?s par le web 2.0 dans ces secteurs. Les contributions peuvent porter sur diff?rents aspects : ?pist?mologique, technologique, sociologique, ?conomique ou politique de l'impact du web 2.0 dans le contexte des biblioth?ques, archives, mus?es et les nouveaux m?dias.

Web 2.0 has made possible - and intensified - global collaborative mechanisms for the production of content. For nearly fifteen years, it has been gradually transforming the traditional Web, based on a dissemination model mainly structured by service providers and content providers. This participatory and collaborative capacity of the Web 2.0 may, in some cases, erase old boundaries and hierarchies between professionals and amateurs in various areas, whether in the private or public domains (e.g., Journalism 2.0, citizen journalism, etc.). Professions related to the creation and dissemination of content and knowledge seem to be particularly affected (e.g., publishers, artists, graphic designers, journalists, librarians, competitive intelligence specialists, librarians, archivists, information managers, etc.). The participatory Web's massive implementation of technology by the public has led to a reconfiguration and repositioning of the stakeholders in these sectors. This special issue aims to investigate mutations or changes under way within the institutions and among the stakeholders of libraries, archives, museums and online media due to the spread of Web 2.0 digital practices. The guest editors of this special issue of the Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science invite researchers from different disciplines to submit original unpublished work in connection with the changes brought about by Web 2.0 in these sectors. Contributions may cover different aspects: epistemological, technological, sociological, economic and political impact of Web 2.0 in the context of libraries, archives, museums and new media. Languages: Submissions are accepted in either English or French. Extended deadline: November 30, 2014 Submission: Send your manuscripts in electronic format (Word or RTF) to: Fidelia Ibekwe-SanJuan Full Professor School of Journalism and Communication Aix-Marseille University, France fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-lyon3.fr Elaine M?nard Assistant Professor School of Information Studies McGill University Montreal, Canada elaine.menard at mcgill.ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

User studies, usability metrics, techno-determinism, socio-determinism, user-centered design, participatory design, end user programming, user appropriation, technology adoption, diffusion of innovations, technology and development: such research overwhelmingly focuses on people using technology. We seek to problematize this focus by turning our attention to situations in which a particular individual or group of individuals are unable or choose not to use some specific technology or technological system. Focusing explicitly on non-use can function as a dialectic maneuver, an inversion that provides a novel perspective on, and potentially fuller understanding of, the complex, multifaceted relations among society and technology. We seek to explore these relationships and their broad ramifications rather than simply to transform non-users into users. Studying non-use in its many forms can highlight sociotechnical configurations that may be overlooked due to a singular focus on technology use. To this end, we seek submissions from a broad array of disciplines representing a diverse collection of methodological approaches to the topic of technology non-use. Studying non-use may require novel empirical investigations, methodological approaches, conceptual tools, and theoretical developments. Many and varied technologies may be relevant to consider: digital and analog, modern and ancient, computational and mechanical, popular and obscure, etc. Through this special issue, we also seek to avoid reifying a binary distinction between use and non-use. The point is not to draw ever clearer lines that help us understand what distinguishes non-use(rs) from use(rs). Rather, this special issue aims to explore the complex sociotechnical situations where various forms and degrees of non-use arise. We hope to provide a foundational repository for the topic of non-use through which scholars from many diverse fields can be in conversation with one another. Topics for submissions: - case studies of unique or notable instances of non-use - conspicuous or performative non-use - development, ICT4D, and the ?digital imperative? - digital divide(s) and/or disenfranchisement - diverse reasons for or causes of non-use (or use): choice, compulsion, structural limitation, etc. - identity management - media and/or technology refusal - methodological innovations for studying non-use - organizational or institutional contexts - partial or situational non-use - social, political, or cultural dimensions of non-use - surveillance avoidance - modifications of existing theories or new theoretical contributions - typologies, taxonomies, categories, or degrees of non-use (and/or use) - any other topics that can be a touchstone for scholars interested in non-use Timeline: - Extended Abstracts Due: September 30 - Feedback from Editors on Abstracts: October 31 - Full Submissions Due: January 15, 2015 - Issue Appears: August 3, 2015 Authors are requested to submit an extended abstract of 400-500 words tononuse2014[at]gmail[dot]com.
