Please Excuse cross-postings...

Join the Museum Computer Network.

Rates to rise after May 16

Are you a member of MCN? If not, how about becoming one? Our membership year is just about to begin and if you join now at www.mcn.edu, you'll save some money. We haven't raised our membership dues in five years, but despite every effort our costs have risen. Membership fees for the 2003-2004 year will go up, but if you register online at www.mcn.edu by May 15, you can get the same low fee we've charged for half a decade. Even better, sign up for two years by June 15, and get those same rates.

If you're not familiar with the Museum Computer Network, read on.

The name says it all...

From its beginnings in 1967, the Museum Computer Network was conceived as a way to connect people, not machines. It has always been about building a community among those responsible for implementing technology in their institutions. By working together, MCN members are able to solve the problems we all encounter in our workplaces. To this day, this is what the MCN is about and what it does best.

How we do it:

The Annual Meeting

Each year the MCN showcases the accomplishments of its members in an annual meeting. It's here that many of the best ideas in museum technology were first aired; collections management systems, standardized vocabularies, museum web sites, data interchange standards for museums - all of these idea showed up first at the MCN annual meeting. The themes have changed, but the relevance and importance of the information you get has been there since the beginning.

And it's not just the sessions. Each year since 1987, the MCN annual meeting has featured an exhibit hall focused on the technology our members need and has provided a setting where vendors can show their wares to an audience that matters.

MCN workshops address the learning needs of members across a wide spectrum of information technology issues, from choosing a collections management system to learning about the latest industry standards and how to implement them.

Spectra and ESpectra

For two decades, the MCN's journal, Spectra, has provided members with important articles, surveys and other information about developments in the field of museum technology.

Launched in 1999, ESpectra provides free and timely news on developments impacting museum technology, as well as announcements and job listings.

MCN-L

As an announcement service and as a source for finding solutions to the most perplexing of problems, the free MCN-l listserv is an invaluable service to the museum community as a whole. We do this for the entire profession; help us maintain it by becoming a member today.

What we're planning

MCN 2003

The 2002 meeting was great, but 2003 will be even better. This one is part of a double-header with the Northeast Document Conservation Center, which will be staging its "Off the Wall and Online" workshop a day in advance of the MCN meeting. MCN is offering a special discount for its meeting to dual-attendees, making it a value that is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

The Research Libraries Group (RLG) is sponsoring a hands-on, XML workshop. Priced on a cost-recovery basis, it's a terrific bargain. Check the web site for details.

www.mcn.edu

The annual meeting is essential, but we recognize that resources need to be closer at hand. We are working hard toward making more of that happen.

ESpectra and now Spectra are resources that MCN offers its members online. Spectra is the first of our members-only, online services. In the coming months we will introduce an online membership directory that can be searched by name, institution and specialization (so don't forget to fill out that part of your membership form!)

The MCN Marketplace was launched as an experimental directory of museum technology vendors. Look for it to grow into the incredible tool it can be during the coming year.

Workshops

We are also in the process of partnering with other organizations to bring you workshops that are held multiple times per year in different venues so that we can offer educational opportunities to the widest audience.

So there's the pitch. Join today and I'll see you in Las Vegas!

Since 2002, SILS and Prague's Charles University have offered library students and professionals a chance to journey to the heart of the Czech Republic. Entitled "Libraries and Librarianship in the Czech Republic," participants in this program will enjoy lectures and tours related to librarianship in this culturally and academically rich country (that deals with a history of monarchy, empire, Communism and the meeting of east and west). The 2012 program will be offered May 20 - June 2, 2012. A series of presentations is supplemented by a walking tour of the Old Town, Charles Bridge and Wenceslas Square; a bus tour of historic Prague, including Mala Strana, Nove Mesto, Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral and the Jewish Quarter; visits to the Klementinum (National Library), the town of Kromeriz to see a castle library, the Parliament Library and a tour of Strahov Monastery and its libraries. There is also ample free time to allow participants to explore on their own or to travel further afield in the Czech Republic or other nearby countries. "The seminar in Prague was a spectacular addition to my graduate studies. With the group I was able to see libraries and books unavailable to any tourist, or through any other program. The guides were attentive and put together creative and interesting programs and tours for us. We were treated like visiting scholars and colleagues. The Czech Republic itself is a quintessentially beautiful European country and we got to see quite a lot of it. I recommend this program to anyone!" - Prague summer seminar participant Registration is open to all students and professionals, not just UNC at Chapel Hill students. Librarians and information science folks at all stages of their careers have found our summer seminars enjoyable and worthwhile and are welcome to participate. Students enrolled in a library science program can receive three (3) hours of graduate credit for the seminar.

We are interested understanding and supporting the evolution of social theory, socio-technical theory, and social informatics in information systems research. This will be the 12th consecutive year for the Mini Track at AMCIS, and we hope to continue a tradition of high quality paper submissions, thought-provoking presentations and lively discussion for all IS researchers using, or considering the use of, social theory in their work in this domain. We seek to attract research papers and research-in-progress papers from all IS researchers who are using the work of social theorists, organizational theorists, sociotechnical theorists, and cultural. We are particularly interested in research that makes use of social theory to address issues of designing the digital future. We want to highlight research that uses social theory, sociotechnical theory, and social informatics approaches to critically examine the constitution of ICT, and their roles in the design, constitution, maintenance and dissolution of virtual communities and virtual worlds. For example, the work of social theorists (e.g., Callon, Castells, Bourdieu, Giddens, Putnam), organizational theorists (e.g., Powell, DiMaggio, Scott), sociotechnical theorists (e.g., Bijker , Hughes, Kling), cultural anthropologists (e.g., D'Andrade, Holland, Suchman), symbolic interactionists (e.g., Strauss , Star), and many others are being used to address the most important questions about how we are living, working and socializing in virtual communities. We invite IS research and research in progress that applies, builds on, compares, or critiques these social theories within the domain of virtual communities and virtual worlds.

Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2011 23:52:02 +0000 Subject: [Asis-l] John Ulmschneider selected SILS Distinguished Alumnus In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: CHAPEL HILL - John Ulmschneider (MSLS '77), university librarian and professor at the Virginia Commonwealth University Libraries, has been selected as a distinguished alumnus for 2011 at the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Ulmschneider, who will be the guest speaker for the SILS Fall commencement ceremony on December 18th, was recommended through nominations by several of his fellow alumni. Established in 1981, the Distinguished Alumni Award is presented by the SILS Alumni Association. The award recognizes alumni who have demonstrated outstanding professional library or information science achievements at national, state or local levels or who have provided outstanding service to SILS or its Alumni Association. "One thing I value most about John's leadership is the fact that he cares authentically for the people under his employ - and not just as librarians, but as human beings," said Laura (Westmoreland) Gariepy (MSLS '09). "That's a trait that is not frequently enough acknowledged, but I and many other staff members at VCU Libraries can speak firsthand to the fact that John cares for the people around him and will do everything in his power to ensure that we're in a position to succeed personally and professionally." "In addition to all of this, John has an outstanding record of professional service throughout his career, having invested a tremendous amount of time in his work with Solinet and ASERL, just to offer a couple of examples. I think his legacy, though, will be shepherding VCU Libraries from an historically underfunded system that has struggled to meet the needs of its users to a leading research library in the Southeast region." As director of VCU's research library system, the largest of State's three major research universities, he oversees annual expenditures exceeding $15 million, a staff of over 135 and holdings exceeding two million volumes with more than 25,000 journal subscriptions. He has a long history of service to the profession, particular with local and regional library organizations. He is past-president and Board member of the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries, comprising the 39 largest academic research libraries in the Southeast; a member of the Virtual Library of Virginia Steering Committee, chair of its Outreach Committee and a key leader in advocacy efforts supporting its funding; current co-chair of the Legislative Committee of the Virginia Library Association; past member of the OCLC Member's Council and User's Council; past Board member for SOLINET and chair of its finance committee; and current president of the Richmond Academic Library Consortium. He is also a former member of the SILS Board of Visitors. In addition, Ulmschneider also concluded in November an eight-year term as a Trustee of the Richmond Public Library Board and was Chair of the Board from 2006-2008. He previously held positions at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C., where he worked in concert with other library leaders to establish the NC LIVE initiative; the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA; and the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, MD. He holds the B.A. from the University of Virginia and the Master of Science in Library Science from UNC at Chapel Hill. "John forms meaningful partnerships with groups including the James River Writers and Jewish groups that sponsor an annual lecture," said another VCU colleague. "And, in a city full of wonderful museums and collections and archives, one focus of VCU Libraries collections is on "new" social history and collections from often overlooked communities-- African American, Latino, LGBT, and social movements. Something of a Renaissance man, he is an avid cyclist who is plugged into the literary and poetry scenes." ********************************** Wanda Monroe Director of Communications School of Information and Library Science University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 100 Manning Hall, CB 3360 Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3360 Phone: 919-843-8337 Web: sils.unc.edu Follow us on Twitter at: UNC SILS From rhill at asis.org Thu Dec 8 15:59:09 2011 From: rhill at asis.org (Richard Hill) Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2011 15:59:09 -0500 Subject: [Asis-l] FW: JCDL 2012 Call for Participation Message-ID: <201112082059.pB8KxFFu006010@mail.asis.org> [Forwarded.

JCDL 2012 invites submissions of papers and proposals for posters, demonstrations, tutorials, and workshops that will make the conference an exciting and creative event to attend. As always, the conference welcomes contributions from all the fields that intersect to enable digital libraries. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Collaborative and participatory information environments * Cyberinfrastructure architectures, applications, and deployments * Data mining/extraction of structure from networked information * Digital library and Web Science curriculum development * Distributed information systems * Extracting semantics, entities, and patterns from large collections * Evaluation of online information environments * Impact and evaluation of digital libraries and information in education * Information and knowledge systems * Information policy and copyright law * Information visualization * Interfaces to information for novices and experts * Linked data and its applications * Personal digital information management * Retrieval and browsing * Scientific data curation, citation and scholarly publication * Social media, architecture, and applications * Social networks, virtual organizations and networked information * Social-technical perspectives of digital information * Studies of human factors in networked information * Theoretical models of information interaction and organization * User behavior and modeling * Visualization of large-scale information environments * Web archiving and preservation IMPORTANT NOTES FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS All contributions must be submitted in electronic form via the conference's EasyChair submission page, following ACM format guidelines and template available from http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Please submit all papers in PDF format. PAPER SUBMISSIONS Paper authors may choose between two formats: Full papers and short papers. Both formats will be included in the proceedings and will be presented at the conference. Both formats will be rigorously peer reviewed. Complete papers are required-abstracts and incomplete papers will not be reviewed. Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important milestone. Short papers will highlight efforts that might be in an early stage, but are important for the community to be made aware of. Short papers can also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space. Full papers must not exceed 10 pages. Short papers are limited to at most 4 pages. All papers must be original contributions. The material must therefore not have been previously published or be under review for publication elsewhere. All contributions must be written in English and must follow the ACM formatting guidelines, http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Papers are to be submitted via the conference's EasyChair submission page, http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012 All accepted papers will be published by ACM as conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. POSTER & DEMOSTRATION SUBMISSIONS Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner. Poster proposals should consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed 2 pages. Proposals must follow the conference's formatting guidelines and are to be submitted via the conference's EasyChair submission page, http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012. Accepted posters will be displayed at the conference and may include additional materials, space permitting. Abstracts of posters will appear in the proceedings. Demonstrations showcase innovative digital libraries technology and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Demonstration proposals should consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors and should not exceed 2 pages. Proposals must follow the conference's formatting guidelines and are to be submitted via the conference's EasyChair submission page, http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012. Abstracts of demonstrations will appear in the proceedings. PANELS & INVITED BRIEFINGS Panels will complement the refereed portions of the program with lively discussions of controversial and cutting-edge issues that are not addressed by other program elements. Invited briefings will explain a topic of interest to those building digital libraries-they can be thought of as being mini-tutorials. We are not soliciting formal proposals for panels or invited briefings, but if you have an idea for one that you'd like to hear, please send email directly to the panels/briefings chairs, Noha Adly, adly at bibalex.org, and Haowei Hsieh, haowei-hsieh at uiowa.edu. TUTORIAL SUBMISSIONS Tutorials provide an opportunity to offer in-depth education on a topic or solution relevant to research or practice in digital libraries. They should address a single topic in detail over either a half-day or a full day. They are not intended to be venues for commercial product training. Experts who are interested in engaging members of the community who may not be familiar with a relevant set of technologies or concepts should plan their tutorials to cover the topic or solution to a level that attendees will have sufficient knowledge to follow and further pursue the material beyond the tutorial. Leaders of tutorial sessions will be expected to take an active role in publicizing and recruiting attendees for their sessions. Tutorial proposals should include: a tutorial title; an abstract (1-2 paragraphs, to be used in conference programs); a description or topical outline of tutorial (1-2 paragraphs, to be used for evaluation); duration (half- or full-day); expected number of participants; target audience, including level of experience (introductory, intermediate, advanced); learning objectives; a brief biographical sketch of the presenter(s); and contact information for the presenter(s). Tutorial proposals are to be submitted in electronic form via the conference's EasyChair submission page, http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012. WORKSHOP SUBMISSIONS Workshops are intended to draw together communities of interest-both those in established communities, and also those interested in discussion and exploration of a new or emerging issue. They can range in format from formal, perhaps centering on presentation of refereed papers, to informal, perhaps centering on an extended roundtable discussions among the selected participants. Submissions should include: a workshop title and short description; a statement of objectives for the workshop; a topical outline for the workshop; identification of the expected audience and expected number of attendees; a description of the planned format and duration (half-day, full-day, or one-and-a-half day); information about how the attendees will be identified, notified of the workshop, and, if necessary, selected from among applicants; as well as contact and biographical information about the organizers. Finally, if a workshop has been held previously, information about the earlier sessions should be provided-dates, locations, outcomes, attendance, etc. Workshop proposals are to be submitted in electronic form via the conference's EasyChair submission page, http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for PhD students from all over the world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work (i.e., the consortium is not intended for those who are finished or nearly finished with their dissertation). The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to help students with their thesis and research plans by providing feedback and general advice on using the research environment in a constructive and international atmosphere. Students interested in participating in the Doctoral Consortium should submit an extended abstract describing their digital library research. Submissions relating to any aspect of digital library research, development, and evaluation are welcomed, including: technical advances, usage and impact studies, policy analyses, social and institutional implications, theoretical contributions, interaction and design advances, and innovative applications in the sciences, humanities, and education. Doctoral Consortium proposals are to be submitted via the conference's EasyChair submission page, http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012. ********************************** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:48:14 +0000 Subject: [Asis-l] Register now for UNC at Chapel Hill SILS Summer Seminar to London Message-ID: Register now for the Summer Seminar to London The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science (SILS) and the Department of Information Studies, University College London (UCL) invite you on a journey to the literary, academic and cultural capital of England by attending our international summer seminar entitled, "British Libraries and Librarianship: Past, Present and Future." The 2012 seminar will be offered May 20, 2012 - June 2, 2012. This two-week summer seminar offers an opportunity to gain an in-depth view of libraries and librarianship in Great Britain. The seminar will be held in London, one of the most historic and dynamic cities in the world, and will feature lectures and presentations at UCL as well as tours of libraries and cultural heritage institutions in England. This international seminar is open to all students and professionals, not just SILS students. Librarians at all stages of their careers have found our summer seminars enjoyable and worthwhile and are welcome to participate. Students enrolled in a library science program can take the seminar for three (3) hours of graduate credit. Activities ----------- Although most of the program will take place in London, there will be day trips to visit the university libraries at both Oxford and Cambridge. In London participants will tour behind the scenes at the British Library, the National Archives, the Imperial War Museum (including its library) and the Wellcome Library (including the History of Medicine Collection). Visits will be made to other types of libraries and there will be presentations from experts in the field of librarianship in Great Britain. There will also be guided tours of UCL and the Bloomsbury area of London. Some free time will be built into the program so that participants can explore London and visit other libraries and cultural institutions of their choice. The weekend will be free so participants can visit places of interest in London, Great Britain, or Europe. Location ---------- The seminar will take place in Bloomsbury, the academic and literary heart of London. Bloomsbury is home of University College London and the UCL Department of Information Studies, co-sponsor of the seminar. It is also the location of Winston House, an 18th century townhouse which serves as the UNC campus in London and where some of the lectures and presentations will take place. Winston House is located around the corner from the British Museum in Bedford Square, the oldest remaining complete Georgian garden square in the city. Participants in the seminar are able to earn three hours of graduate academic credit through UNC at Chapel Hill. Lectures and site visits will be arranged by the faculty of the UCL Department of Information Studies, the largest and one of the most highly ranked LIS Schools in the United Kingdom. A UNC faculty member will accompany the group and will serve as the academic advisor to all participants taking the course for credit. Testimonials --------------- "The London Summer Seminar was one of the best experiences of my life; integrating all the top aspects of many types of librarianship, and the joys of being with other enthusiastic librarians in one of the best cities in the world. Not only do you get to visit the birthplace of libraries, but you are immersed into another way of life... British style. You will not want to leave the city or the friends you make here!" The London Summer Seminar was a fabulous experience. I got to live in the heart of literary London for two weeks, and get behind-the-scenes peeks into world-renowned libraries and museums that I never would have been able to see as a tourist. It was also a great way to see what kind of career doors my MLS could open for me, as I got to meet and talk to a wide array of archivists, catalogers, curators, historians, and, of course, librarians throughout the trip. And, as a student who is getting her MLS online, the seminar was an especially fun way to interact with other library students and professional librarians, and to get a hands-on look at the many different ways libraries are run. I only wish the seminar had been longer, because I had such a great time!

The School of Information and Library Science kicked off its 80th anniversary with a tailgate barbecue on September 17, 2011, the same day the School first held classes in 1931. More than 120 alumni, faculty, students, staff and friends attended the event that was held on the lawn in front of Manning Hall. http://sils.unc.edu/news/2011/sils-80th-kick-off >From Dewey Decimal to Twitter - School of Information and Library Science celebrates 80 years of building our information future! Since its beginning 80 years ago, the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) has focused on educating those who organize, research, locate, preserve and share information in its many forms for its many audiences with an emphasis on the user's experience. The aim has been, and still is, to produce leaders who will shape the future of information in all contexts, and to investigate and develop information theories and practices that lead to higher levels of prosperity, equity and understanding. What was especially relevant and important in the 20th century was demonstrated in this world-renowned School. In the 21st century, just as librarians transitioned from catalogs to online databases and servers, SILS has transitioned from a program that educated only librarians to one that leads the way in the digital domain. While the School will always educate leaders who move into the world's libraries, archives and cultural institutions; today SILS also educates leaders in corporate, government and business settings who manage and preserve information in all its forms. Graduates move into new fields such as social media strategy, health informatics, cyber and Internet security, Web development, database design and more. http://sils.unc.edu/news/2011/dewey-twitter LifeTime Library thought to be the first nationwide The LIFETIME LIBRARY will provide digital storage throughout a graduate's lifetime. How often have you asked yourself, "What did I do with that report I presented during my days at the university? Did I save it on my laptop, on a CD, to my cellphone or is it on a computer I no longer have?" Or after graduating, have you sadly remembered that you saved a special photo in your folder on the university's server only to realize it was now gone forever? Now imagine keeping those items all together and staying permanently connected to your university with the gift of digital storage throughout your lifetime. For the first time, that wish will come true for students entering the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill through a new project called the LifeTime Library. http://sils.unc.edu/news/2011/SILS-lifetime-library Carolina researchers tapped to develop national data infrastructure The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is leading a new effort to address key data challenges facing scientific researchers in the digital age. The National Science Foundation has awarded nearly $8 million over five years to the DataNet Federation Consortium, a group that spans seven universities, to build and deploy a prototype national data management infrastructure. About half the award will support research and development at UNC. http://sils.unc.edu/news/2011/datanet UNC launch of Digital Innovation Lab involves SILS professor and students Dr. Richard Marciano, professor in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, co-founder and former executive director of the Data Intensive Cyber Environments (DICE) Center, affiliated professor in American studies and director of Sustainable Archives and Leveraging Technologies (SALT) is now co-founder and co-director of a new virtual lab that will encourage collaborative, interdisciplinary and innovative digital humanities projects. http://sils.unc.edu/news/2011/richard-marciano CHIP Certificates in Clinical Information Science Awarded The first certificates in Clinical Information Science (CIS) have been awarded by the Carolina Health Informatics Program (CHIP) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science (SILS).

The survey is available online, and takes only 15 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous and confidential: http://tinyurl.com/ALAprivacysurvey The survey, which builds on an earlier 2008 survey assessing librarians' attitudes about privacy both within and outside of the library, will provide important data that will help ALA assess the state of privacy in the United States and help guide OIF's planning for "Privacy for All," ALA's ongoing campaign to engage librarians in public education and advocacy to advance privacy rights. The survey will be available until March 1, 2012. The study is funded by a generous grant from the Open Society Institute and is managed by Dr. Michael Zimmer, an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Information Studies and co-director of its Center for Information Policy Research. Barbara Jones, director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom, encouraged all librarians and library workers to take the survey. "After three successful years working on Choose Privacy Week and related educational programs, it is essential that we test our assumptions for the remaining years of the grant," she said. "We want 'Privacy for All' to create models for programming and services that librarians can use for various constituencies and community groups. We can?t do that without your opinions." The "Privacy for All" initiative features Choose Privacy Week, an annual event that encourages libraries and librarians to engage library users in a conversation about privacy; and a website, privacyrevolution.org, that provides access to privacy-related news, information and programming resources. In 2011 - 2012, "Privacy for All" and Choose Privacy Week will be focused on the topic of government surveillance, with an emphasis on immigrant and refugee communities? use of libraries and youth attitudes about privacy. Visit www.privacyrevolution.org to learn more about Choose Privacy Week and the resources available to help libraries engage their users in a conversation on privacy. -- Michael Zimmer, PhD Assistant Professor, School of Information Studies Co-Director, Center for Information Policy Research University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee e: zimmerm at uwm.edu w: www.michaelzimmer.org From zimmerm at uwm.edu Fri Dec 16 22:33:03 2011 From: zimmerm at uwm.edu (Michael Zimmer) Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 21:33:03 -0600 Subject: [Asis-l] CFP: 2nd Milwaukee Conference on Ethics of Information Organization Message-ID: <11EC8358-9AE9-43FD-9876-EC49FCDEEB49@uwm.edu> CFP: 2nd Milwaukee Conference on Ethics of Information Organization Information organization, like other major functions of the information professions, faces many ethical challenges. In our literature, ethical concerns have been raised with regard to, topics such as, the role of national and international tools and standards, provision of subject access to information, deprofessionalization and outsourcing, education of professionals, and the effects of globalization. These issues and many others like them have serious implications for quality and equity in information access. The Information Organization Research Group and the Center for Information Policy Research of the School of Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee join in presenting this second conference to address the ethics of information organization.
