This project is funded by a grant ( LG-73-17-0002-17 ) from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The project team is conducting a community needs assessment, focused on developing the use cases and functional requirements for a freely available, collaboratively-developed digital library assessment toolkit, D-CRAFT. We are administering a survey that will ask respondents to identify how cultural heritage organizations currently assess digital library reuse. The survey will consist of several questions asking participants to identify barriers for reuse and to prioritize potential solutions and next steps. The results of this study may be published in professional journals. They may also be used for educational purposes or for professional presentations. However, no individual subject or identifying information will be shared. Those who meet any of the following criteria are eligible for participation in this survey: ? those with demonstrated experience, such as direct work experience, and/or research that involves building, preserving, and/or assessing digital library collections; ? self-identified individuals from underrepresented groups based on factors including but not limited to race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender identity, sexual orientation, ableness, veteran?s status, and/or socio-economic status; ? representatives from organizations with diverse and inclusive collections; ? self-identified representatives from cultural heritage organization types that might not be represented in the research team membership. If you meet the inclusion criteria, we would appreciate your participation in this survey. The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Respondents will only take this survey once. The first 50 participants will be eligible to receive a $25 Amazon gift card for completing the survey. You can access the survey here: http://uhlibrary.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bKNLEtMwORvQmJD This survey closes in one week (5:00 p.m. EDT on October 11, 2017) If you have any questions, you may contact any member of the project team: ?

Although Full and Perspective Paper submissions are now closed, Short Paper (4 pages) submissions are open through October 22. CHIIR (pronounced ?cheer?) provides a forum for the dissemination and discussion of research on the user-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval. Find more information about CHIIR here: http://sigir.org/chiir2018/ Short Papers should report on original, significant, high-quality research. A short paper is likely to present a more focused study, and tends to make a smaller scope of contribution to the research program than full papers. For example, reporting on work in progress, preliminary research analysis, or late-breaking results may be suitable for Short Papers. This might be a good venue for those researchers who are new to the CHIIR community to become familiar with the field. Accepted short papers will be published in the proceedings, and presented as posters at the conference. Important Dates October 22, 2017 ? Deadline for Short Papers December 15, 2017 - Notification of acceptance Submission Guidelines * CHIIR submissions should be original, high quality research that has not been published previously and are not under review for another conference or journal. * An international program committee will review all submissions. * All reviews will be double-blind, so submissions must be fully anonymized when submitted. * The page limits (4 pages) for each type of submission includes references. * All submissions should be formatted using the ACM Conference style (for LaTeX or Word). Submissions should be made in PDF. * All accepted submissions will be made available in the ACM Digital Library as part of the CHIIR series. * Submissions should not contain any author identification and should be submitted electronically via the conference submission system< https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chiir2018>. If you have any questions, please contact the Short Papers Chairs, Soo Young Rieh (rieh at umich.edu) and Preben Hansen (preben at dsv.su.se).

The CHIIR Doctoral consortium, held in conjunction with the main conference, provides an opportunity for doctoral students to present and discuss their research with senior researchers and other doctoral students in a seminar format. The Doctoral consortium focuses on 1) advising students regarding current critical issues in their research, and 2) making students aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their research as viewed from different perspectives. Doctoral consortium is generally targeted at students in their second or third year of a year PhD program. At minimum, students ought to have formulated their research problem, theoretical framework and suggested methods, and at maximum, students will have just submitted some of the early PhD work for publication. *Mentors* On our list of mentors are so far: Dr. Pia Borlund, Dr. Katriina Bystr?m, Dr. Rob Capra, Dr. Luanne Freund, Dr. Diane Kelly, Dr. Heather O'Brien, Dr. Ian Ruthven, Dr. Max Wilson. *Fees* Participation to the Doctoral consortium is included in the conference registration fee. *Funding* Students participating in the Doctoral Consortium (DC) may apply for a limited number of travel grants.

The ISIC conferences have a reputation for being an arena for discussing challenging work concerning people's contextualised interactions with information of various kinds. Keynote lectures by * Professor Lisa M. Given, Swinburne University of Technology * Professor Paul Dourish, University of California, Irvine * Dr. Sabina Cisek & Dr. Monika Krakowska, Jagiellonian University ISIC is multidisciplinary in scope: researchers from information science, information studies, library studies, communication studies, information management, education, management science, psychology, social psychology, sociology, STS, information systems, computer science, and other disciplines contribute to the research field. A common thread is the focus on contextualised information activities, expressed in different framings such as 'information behaviour', 'information practice', 'information seeking' 'information experience' and others. The ISIC conference is particularly interested in analytical rather than descriptive investigations.
