THEME: Big things come in small packages ------------------- The #Microposts workshops aim to bring together researchers from multiple disciplines to debate current, leading edge effort toward analysing and understanding Microposts - "information published on the Web that is small in size and requires minimal effort to publish. Microposts include tweets (using plain text or with embedded links and objects); social network endorsement using Instagram hearts; check-ins via Facebook and Foursquare, pins on Pinterest; links to brief, pre-recorded and streaming video via Snapchat and Meerkat. Although individual Microposts are small and therefore typically focus on a single thought, message or theme, collectively they provide a rich source of information and opinion about a range of topics. Among others, the (Computational) Social Science track will examine the human in Micropost data generation and analysis; we encourage submissions that look at understanding how situation and context, and social and cultural phenomena and language drive individual and collective publication of Microposts, whether targeted at the general public, a specific person or other entity, e.g. a ruling government or a cause. The workshop aims to continue to provide a forum to enable discussion and hence, improve understanding of the generation and reuse of Micropost data, and discuss application of the knowledge thus derived in a variety of contexts, including crowd movement, mass communication, and its influence on citizen empowerment and the formatino of opinion and sentiment. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------- The special (Computational) Social Sciences track at #Microposts2016 will focus on topics including, but not exclusive to, first: Computational Social Science & Web Science Studies - Collective awareness - Education & citizen empowerment, data journalism - Digital & media literacy regarding Micropost data - Civil action, media & politics - Political and polemical aspects of Microposts - Conflicts and crises - Ethics, legal and privacy issues - Psychological profiles and psychological aspects of Micropost-based interactions - Cultural phenomena & memes - Social media and wellbeing - Cultural, generational and regional differences in access and use - Inequality in access and use of digital, social media - Emerging social and communication dynamics resulting from Micropost-based services - Critical reflections on big data - Linguistics & Microposts Additionally, the topics below, detailed in the CfP for the main track, are of interest to the Social Sciences community, regarding obtaining understanding about, discovering knowledge content of, add application of Micropost data: - Emergent semantics - Data mining from Microposts - Opinion mining, sentiment and sentic analysis - Network analysis and community detection - Influence detection and social contagion modelling - Prediction approaches - Linking Microposts into the Web of Linked Data (i.e. entity extraction and URI disambiguation) APPLICATIONS: - Collective intelligence, user profiling, personalisation & recommendation - Business analytics & market intelligence - Event & topic detection and tendency tracking - Microposts as second screen to television - Geo-localised, Micropost-based services - Public consensus & citizen participation - Security, emergency response & health - Effortless posting and wearable devices on communication - Linking social and physical signals for, e.g., crowd tracking WORKSHOP STRUCTURE ------------------- A keynote address from an invited speaker will open the day, and followed by paper presentations. We will hold a poster and demo session to trigger further, in-depth interaction between workshop participants. The last set of presentations will be brief overviews of selected submissions to the Challenge. The workshop will close with the presentation of awards. SUBMISSIONS ------------ Full papers: 6 pages Position papers & extended abstracts: 3 pages All written submissions should be prepared according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Template (at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates), and should include author names and affiliations, and 3-5 author-selected keywords. Where a submission includes additional material submission this should be made as a single, unencrypted zip file that includes a plain text file listing its contents. Submission is via EasyChair, at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=microposts2016 Each submission will receive, in addition to a meta-review, 2 peer reviews. We aim to publish the #Microposts2016 proceedings as a single volume containing all three tracks, via CEUR (http://ceur-ws.org), a free, open access, online platform for publishing workshop proceedings. CEUR-WS.org is a recognised ISSN publication series. Submissions to the Social Sciences track may, in addition to presenting novel work, include extended abstracts summarising or discussing previously published work or presenting position statements.

IDEASc ? Integrated Doctoral Education with Application to Scholarly Communication ? is a fellowship program designed to further scholarship and practice in the area of scholarly communication by integrating practical experience in the library with the research and classroom experiences that comprise the traditional education of doctoral students. The Fellow will be provided with intensive mentoring, wide-ranging opportunities to work and conduct research in scholarly communication, and comprehensive training in pedagogy, curricular development, and in-class instruction. Our efforts are motivated by an awareness of the complex transformations of library roles in the scholarly communication environment and the increasing need to educate future LIS faculty with an integrated understanding of research and practice to meet the needs of future MLS students. The Fellow will receive a stipend of $23,000, health insurance, tuition, travel assistance, and funding for publication in an open access journal for three consecutive years as part of this program. The Fellow will also have an opportunity to work in the library with experienced and innovative librarians and with leading faculty studying the diverse range of issues related to scholarly communication. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, digital libraries, scientometrics, intellectual property, metadata, social media metrics, university presses, data curation, digital humanities, scholarly publishing, institutional repositories, and copyright. Additional information can be found on the project website: http:info.ils.indiana.edu/IDEASc Indiana University Bloomington is particularly well-situated to support this proposal given its campus-wide focus on issues of scholarly communication as well as the strengths of both the Indiana University Bloomington Libraries and the Department of Information and Library Science in this domain. This is a time of systemic change in how institutions create, sustain, and provide access to information, and libraries and LIS professionals are uniquely situated to influence the direction of this change. The project will graduate doctoral students who are not only familiar with issues of scholarly communication but will also, as leaders in the field, understand scholarly communication from the varying perspectives of practice, education, and research. Applicants will need to apply to and meet the requirements for the ILS Ph.D. program. Information on the Ph.D. application process can be found on the departmental website (http://ils.indiana.edu/phd/). Students will additionally be asked to send their personal statement, writing sample, and CV/resume directly to Dr. Cassidy R. Sugimoto (sugimoto [at] indiana.edu). *Applications should be received by February 1, 2016 for full consideration.* -- Cassidy R.

Peculiar ambitions. Surprising outcomes; whether we belong to communities or help create them, the associations, guilds, leagues and interest groups we keep company with serve as many different purposes and pursuits as there are names to describe them. In keeping with the 2016 Congress theme of ?Energizing Communities,? the Canadian Association for Information Science 2016 CFP challenges you to think about information science at the community level, and invites proposals relating to the broad theme of ?Information Science in our Communities: Reflections on our Work and the People, Places and Institutions Around Us.? Whether we work individually or collaboratively, in highly technological or highly social contexts, in the hotbed of contemporary research or on the periphery, information science inevitably wrestles with aspects of community. What do these communities look like? How do they survive (or not) through adversity and challenge? What does community innovation look like, and how does it affect sustainability? We invite papers and proposals representing diverse themes and methods related (but not limited) to conceptualizations of community. Consider the following ideas: ? Discovering and defining communities: locally, nationally, internationally ? Collaboration and independence: within IS contexts and beyond ? Community benefit and engagement ? Community building: opportunities, structures, best practices, learning from the past, visions for the future ? Community participation, service and leadership ? Organizing information for and with communities ? Community research and methods ? Missing and excluded communities ? Differentiation and integration: among groups, professionals, or on personal levels ? Supporting communities, listening to communities ? Traditions and extraordinary changes in IS communities Call for Proposals Proposals may be submitted in English or French. Please anonymize all submissions at this time. The conference committee strongly encourages submissions from professional, academic and student researchers. Types of submissions include: CAIS Papers: 20-minute oral presentations of completed or well-developed projects on topics suitable for publication in scholarly journals. Proposals that report on completed or ongoing research will be given preference. Diverse perspectives (theoretical and applied) and methodologies are welcomed. Proposals should be in the form of an extended abstract (approximately 1000-1500 words excluding references), reporting on research projects, theoretical developments or innovative practical applications. CAIS Posters: Visual presentations of completed or well-developed projects on topics suitable for publication in scholarly journals. Proposals that report on completed or ongoing research will be given preference. Diverse perspectives (theoretical and applied) and methodologies are welcomed.

For example, consider what Web search is today: highly diversified results are returned from Web pages, news, social media, image and video search, products and more, and all are merged through adaptive strategies driven by current and previous user-systems interactions. As a result, experimental evaluation needs to appropriately model these evolving tasks, needs, data sources and user interactions. An additional challenge pertains to the anticipated outcome of IIR research and application. It is no longer sufficient to focus solely on precision, recall and satisfaction: successful IIR systems must engage, inform, and relate to users, taking into account single session and more long-term use and re-use. To progress current evaluation methodologies and ensure they are able to effectively support the development of next generation IIR systems, one of the most compelling prospects is to bridge system-oriented and user-oriented evaluation methods. Both methodological approaches have their advantages and drawbacks: while system-centered methods ensure greater internal validity, they may fail to take into account user and contextual factors that influence IIR; user-oriented methods may better approximate actual user behavior, affect and cognition, but provide less experimental control of independent variables. The goal of this workshop is to unite system- and user-centered IIR researchers for the purposes of: ? Sharing different user-centered and system-centred research methods, measures, and tools in order to foster knowledge exchange; ? Exploring the addition of user-centered evaluation strategies to system-oriented studies, and vice versa; and ? Initiating collaborations between user- and system-oriented researchers to further IIR research. The workshop will include a keynote with Dr. Eric Wiebe, North Carolina State University, and expert panel with Drs. Jaap Kamps, Diane Kelly, and Jacek Gwizdka.

Details are as follows: Track: Social Technical Issues and Social Inclusion Track Mini Track Title: Social Theory in Information Systems (STIR ?16) Description This year we are proud to celebrate the 20th consecutive year of the Social Theory in Information Systems Research minitrack. Since 1996, scholars and researchers have presented cutting edge research, using social theory in their work. STIR?16 solicits papers that use social theory in IS research drawing upon such approaches as sociotechnical theory, critical theory, social informatics, and organizational theory. We are interested in highlighting research that critically examines the constitution of ICT, and their roles in organizations and society. We are interested in research that addresses the conference theme, Surfing the IT Innovation Wave; focusing on innovative uses of theories and methodologies to study the impacts of new and emerging technologies, such as social media and wearable technologies, on people?s organizational and social lives and on organizations and institutions. Issues might include designing smart and sustainable digital futures, critically examining the constitution of ICTs, and their roles in the design, maintenance and dissolution of online and offline communities, and posing and investigating questions about how we interact with ICTs in our work and social lives in ways that help and sometimes hinder progress towards more useful, productive, and happier lives. Please join us in San Diego for this milestone! Suggested Topics In addition to research aligned with the conference theme we are also interested in high quality empirical and conceptual work that uses social theory to study and understand: ? The interplay between ICT and the development, implementation, and evaluation of Blue Ocean Strategy ? The implications of social networks for organizations and social groups ? Conceptual and empirical work focusing on the ways ICT can promote or hinder social inclusion ? The significance of cyberinfrastructure for commerce, governing and research and sustainable development ? The relationships between ICTs and people as they participate in online communities and virtual teams ? Online communities of practice, their processes and outcomes ? The dynamics of and social and cultural impacts on ICT ? Hacktivism and the use of technology to mobilize resources and advance ideology ? Unintended consequences of technology implementation and use in organizations and in social life ? Scientific collaboration and scholarly communication as enabled and constrained by ICTs ? The impacts of social computing on our social and work lives SUBMISSION SITE http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2016 Submissions may be of two types: ?

(For links to past PIM workshops see http://pimworkshop.org/2016/). People are amassing large stores of personal information (PI). Others are amassing large stores of information about people as well. (For the several senses in which information can be personal, see the full workshop proposal: http://pimworkshop.org/2016/). These stores present rich opportunities for analysis and use in matters of wealth, health, living and legacy. But these stores also bring with them new challenges for managing information across long periods of time. We expect the workshop to attract a range of people doing research related to PIM, HCI, personal digital archiving, personal informatics, aging, and the design of informational spaces for later life. We invite 2 to 4 page position statements relating to any or all of the following workshop themes: 1. Managing personal information (PI) for longer periods of time. What happens to PI including data logs, complex profiles, and preferences, as it accumulates over time? How can we help people anticipate the future value of PI in order to preserve and use PI to best effect? How can massively distributed PI (across diverse personal devices and throughout the cloud) be stored and managed (without unduly taxing its owner) to ensure its long-term accessibility and continued utility? How should privacy and security be supported over heterogeneous forms of information-e.g. personal photos, biosensor data, financial statements, musical playlists, and medical information? How best to evaluate the scalability and long-term consequences of different schemes for maintaining and organizing personal information? Can these "flex" to meet a person's changing needs and circumstances? To what extent can curatorial chores can be automated? How might emerging, decentralized information architectures help? Relating to personal informatics, how might various "quantified self" measures be combined with more conventional forms of information (photos, emails, financial transactions, etc.) to provide an understanding of long-term trends relating health, wealth and overall well-being? 2. Managing for later life. In what novel ways can a lifetime of accumulating PI support the lives we wish to lead? How can uses of PI and 'digital memories' be informed and guided by cognitive science research? How, in particular, can we support prospective memory and planning? Can personal information help compensate for age-related declines in cognitive ability, while leveraging the strengths (e.g., increased crystalized intelligence) that accompany the normal aging process? How can PI (and information tools and channels) help to preserve a healthy engagement with the world as people grow older? 3. Managing for legacy. How can legacy PI be passed on to family and friends or to cultural heritage institutions? Can PI be targeted to those it is intended for? What can be done to ensure its continued intelligibility and preserve its meaning? How can people control what happens to their information after they are no longer around? ****************** PARTICIPATION******************************** * (extended) 11 January 2016: submit a 2-4 page position statement in CHI ACM Extended Abstract Format relating to any or all of the workshop themes listed above. Statements can include references to research done by the prospective participant or others. Include also in this submission, a brief (200 word) personal biography. Submissions should be made through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pim2016). Those invited to participate in the workshop are then asked to do the following: * 12 February (2016), provide a mini-poster (e.g., as a single MS PowerPoint side) summarizing and illustrating their position paper. Please also include a photograph of the participant. Posters will be printed for display along the walls of the workshop room as a conversation starter and a way for participants to learn more about each other's work (e.g., during breaks). * (Optional, but also by 12 February), participants are invited to submit a longer paper of up to 10 pages (in CHI Proceedings Format with 150 word abstract) relating to their research and their position statement. Accepted papers will be featured on the workshop web site (http://pimworkshop.org/2016/). Papers may also be included in a special journal issue or edited book. * In March and April, invest at least 1 hour on-line (at the participant's convenience) in a structured conversation to identify points of consensus and controversy. This dialog and the participant's position paper will be used to help identify the participant's breakout group. * 7th and 8th May 2016, attend the workshop. Exactly one author of each accepted position paper must attend the workshop and must register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the conference. Additional authors of accepted position papers may be invited to attend the workshop on a case-by-case basis according to room capacity. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

She can be reached at nadia.caidiutoronto.ca On behalf of my colleagues on the ASIS&T Board, I would like to extend to you all our best wishes for the New Year, and a happy start to 2016. In the past few months, I attended several events and represented ASIS&T at various meetings including the Council of Scientific Society Presidents (CSSP) in Washington, D.C., as well as ALISE and the ALA mid-Winter (both in Boston). To me, this was a wonderful reminder of how crosscutting and broadly encompassing the field of information science truly is. Council of Scientific Society Presidents The Council of Scientific Society Presidents is an umbrella organization representing a broad array of scientific disciplines. Affiliated member societies are represented by their presidents. CSSP's biannual meetings are a wonderful opportunity for members to share best practices, to lend a strong voice in support of science and science policy development and to learn about cutting edge research. At the CSSP meeting this past December, information issues pervaded many sessions: from the talk by Prof. Jacqueline Burton on gene editing and the chemistry of DNA, to Prof. Abigail Marsh's take on the altruistic brain. In his inspiring talk about the Mars mission, special guest General Charles F. Bolden Jr. (NASA Administrator) related to the CSSP audience that while the technological issues are for the most part figured out, what is needed is behavioral and social scientific research on humans' adaptation to living in space for prolonged periods of time as they journey toward Mars. General Holden's openness to interdisciplinary inquiry is steeped in decades of collaboration with various scientists and partners. When asked about his mentor and inspiration, however, he attributes his success in part to his mother, Ethel Martin Bolden, a practicing librarian in South Carolina. It is during CSSP's working group meetings, however, that issues most familiar to the information field emerge as our sister societies relate their struggles with making sense of the changing landscape of scholarly publishing (open access models, author publication/processing charges, mega-journals and the future of the academic journal.) Similarly, the data syndrome is a recurring theme: how to ensure integrity and security of one's data or to preserve and curate born-digital data for effective access and re-use. I saw ample opportunities for our field to contribute our expertise on these matters and engage in discussion with our sister societies. ASIS&T is seeking to co-sponsor a workshop or session on these issues for the next meeting of CSSP. I will reach out to some of you for your research expertise. ALA Mid-Winter If you have not attended an ALA meeting in recent years, you should reconsider. There is a palpable energy to these meetings as droves of librarians descend on the Exhibit Hall (the Mid-Winter meeting was held in Boston from January 8-12). Vendors, publishers, LIS programs, authors, libraries and, of course, librarians engage in complex rituals that include lots of freebies, book signing, cooking demos, updates about the latest developments in LIS-related services, inspiring talks and ample opportunities to network with a range of people representing all sectors of the library universe. As an ALA affiliate, ASIS&T was well represented by President-Elect Lynn Connaway, and past ASIS&T presidents Samantha Hastings and Linda Smith. In the Exhibit Hall, Wayne Wiegand could be found in the Oxford University Press booth signing copies of his latest book, "Part of Our Lives: A People's History of the American Public Library." The ALA meetings, in many ways, are a reminder that our field is deeply connected with books and libraries, with reading and literacy, with information organization and access and with the training of librarians and other information professionals. ALISE 2016 That training was a significant theme at the ALISE 2016 conference (also held in Boston). Many sessions were devoted to pedagogy, experiential learning, ethics and values. Beyond the panels and juried papers, however, there were numerous conversations about the future of the accreditation process and standards. Last fall ALA President Sari Feldman appointed two task forces on LIS accreditation to make recommendations to the ALA Executive Board. As one of the leading organizations representing the information field in all its richness and variety, ASIS&T plans on participating in these conversations around accreditation reforms. We will be consulting with our membership once the Board establishes the most appropriate means to communicate ASIS&T's position on this matter. In the meantime, the preparations for the 2016 Annual Meeting of ASIS&T in Copenhagen are progressing well. Co-chairs Diane Sonnenwald and Lauren Harrison promise to deliver us a unique experience, and they invite you to submit your papers and panel sessions (due date: April 17). I encourage those who wish to do so to take advantage of the Paper Mentoring Service (deadline to submit is March 10, 2016). We thank the officers and the volunteers who are contributing to this innovative experiment. The Annual Meeting is shaping up to be a great opportunity to bring diverse perspectives and approaches to our study of the library and information fields. I look forward to seeing most of you in Copenhagen. Richard B. Hill Executive Director ASIS&T 8555 16th Street, Suite 850 Silver Spring, MD 20910 v. (301) 495-0900 f.

It's the global force accelerating opportunities and opening new frontiers. Research communities across all disciplines capture, preserve and assess data to advance investigations and enable important discoveries. As a result, funders now demand that data be managed and curated as a key aspect of the research process, and future investigations and discoveries will rely on the data being collected today. The NFAIS 2016 Annual Conference's theme is "Data Sparks Discovery of Tomorrow's Global Knowledge." In the context of fueling the advancement of information, the conference will examine issues and challenges on a range of topics including: . Managing data and establishing appropriate policies . Maintaining privacy and intellectual property rights . Text and data mining . Predictive modeling . New software, systems and analytic tools . The globalization and internationalization of content . Artificial intelligence The 2016 conference aims to help attendees understand what to expect in - and how to prepare solid foundations for - tomorrow's data-driven, global knowledge standard. Future developments by information services providers will reflect a deeper understanding of a researcher's needs and behaviors. New tools for evaluation and measurement, implementation of artificial intelligence, and new business models will allow service providers to prioritize data sustainability. The NFAIS Annual Conference, over the course of three days, will illuminate and dissect the complexities of our data-rich, networked environment, challenging current modes of thought and industry practices.

Capra will develop and evaluate new techniques for capturing, saving, and re-using search information, enabling individuals and collaborators to more efficiently conduct exploratory searches, and providing valuable search assistance to future users. "Instead of starting from scratch, people will be able to benefit from information saved by others who have completed similar searches," Capra said. "A goal of this research is to develop search tools that will help people in both the discovery and understanding of information, going beyond what is offered by current search systems. We want to enable people to capture and share the knowledge they acquire during a search in a way that will support collaboration and re-use." Capra's research will provide insights about users' needs for exploratory searches and how systems can best support them. Throughout the project, research activities will be integrated with a cross-cutting educational plan that will include UNC-Chapel Hill undergraduate and graduate students engaged through research assistantships and course projects. "We are delighted that Dr. Capra has won one of these prestigious five-year NSF grants," said SILS Dean Gary Marchionini. "His work will lead to better support for human information needs that are complex and collaborative, and the project will become one of the centerpieces of SILS' leadership in information seeking research."

John Wiggins, director of library services and quality improvement, and Danuta A. Nitecki, dean of libraries, both from Drexel University Libraries, coordinated the Philadelphia bid. Criteria for selection included the location, facilities, regional and national support, the strength of the organizing team and unique selling points. Philadelphia was commended for the overall quality of its proposal including a good understanding of the requirements of the conference and excellent support for the EBLIP movement. "Drexel University is delighted to host the Ninth International Evidence Based Library and Information Practice Conference, ? said John Wiggins, co-chair of the Local Organizing Committee. ?We look forward to a dynamic and engaging Conference that will stimulate and excite new and existing EBLIP research community members.? The EBLIP Conference is a biennial event designed to promote the use of the best available evidence to improve library and information practice in all types of libraries. It aims to bring together practitioners, researchers, and students involved in critical and reflective information practice to think through new ways to address contemporary issues of evidence based practice in less isolated, more collaborative, ways. The first EBL(IP) Conference took place in Sheffield, UK in 2001. Subsequent conferences have been hosted in Edmonton (Canada, 2003), Brisbane (Australia, 2005), Chapel Hill (USA, 2007), Stockholm (Sweden, 2009), Salford (UK, 2011), Saskatoon (Canada, 2013) and Brisbane (Australia, 2015).

Of especial relevance is how the Archive is organized in the form of a physical library archive brought into the digital era, rather than a traditional search engine with a preservation component, and its collage approach to weaving together millions of files in thousands of collections from hundreds of partners. For those contemplating using the Archive's holdings for research on the evolution of the web, there are a lot of details in there about how the Archive is put together, its use of a collage approach to archiving rather than a single centralized and standardized continuous crawl, and the tremendous variability in the priorities and composition of its crawls. Of particular note, the Wayback Machine and its data stores access just a small portion of the Archive's web holdings. Those concerned about the impact of robots.txt on archival of the web will find of interest the discussion of the Archive's evolving stance on both robots.txt and administrative exclusions, as well as the approaches taken by several national libraries. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2016/01/18/the-internet-archive-turns-20-a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-archiving-the-web/ ~Kalev http://kalevleetaru.com/ http://blog.gdeltproject.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

All the best Katrin ===================================================================== the 6th Making Sense of Microposts Workshop (#Microposts2016) at WWW 2016 http://microposts2016.seas.upenn.edu 11/12th Apr 2016 ===================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES ---------------- Main Track submission deadline: ***25 Jan 2016*** Social Sciences Track submission deadline: ***25 Jan 2016*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BEST PAPER AWARD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAIN TRACK Award: ?500 sponsored by the MK:Smart project (http://www.mksmart.org) SOCIAL SCIENCE TRACK Award: ?300 sponsored by GESIS, Germany ( http://www.gesis.org ) NEEL CHALLENGE Award sponsored by FREME ( http://www.freme-project.eu ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THEME: Big things come in small packages ------------------- Microposts ? "information published on the Web that is small in size and requires minimal effort to publish" ? remain a popular means for communicating information. Microposts include tweets (using plain text or with embedded links and objects); social network endorsement using Instagram hearts; check-ins via Facebook and Foursquare, pins on Pinterest; links to brief, pre-recorded and streaming video via Snapchat and Meerkat. Microblogging apps for the ubiquitous smartphone and other small, personal devices, which support capturing photos and short videos, allow these to accompany text or serve in themselves as the Micropost. Services such as those provided by WhatsApp, Viber, Snapchat, LINE and Saya, piggybacking on SMS/MMS and augmented with social media features, are also growing in popularity, especially in emerging markets where the Internet is often accessible mainly via mobile networks. Such services typically sync with desktop or web front-ends, allowing seamless switching between devices. Microposts are also used as a portal to other services, alerting users to, e.g., live video streams on Periscope and Meerkat. Individual Microposts typically focus on a single thought, message or theme, often written on the go or in the moment, as events transpire. Collectively, however, Microposts comprise a very large amount of heterogeneous data ? a source of valued, collective intelligence about a range of topics that may be mined for a variety of end uses, including opinion mining and crowd tracking, emergency response and community services. The #Microposts workshops aim to continue to provide a forum to enable discussion and hence, improve understanding of the social and cultural phenomena that influence the publication and reuse of Microposts; to assess different approaches to gleaning the information content. Enabling the understanding and application of Microposts in various contexts requires techniques and tools that function at scale, and that are able to handle the very high rate of publication. Despite advances in tools to tackle the specific challenges inherent to Micropost data, applications and approaches for analysing Microposts still rely on third party text extraction tools. An important aim of the workshop is to promote formal evaluation of the accuracy of text extraction tools specifically for Micropost data, as opposed to more typical comparative assessment using corpora of well-formed, normal length, natural language documents. To address this issue, starting in 2013 the workshop hosted an information extraction challenge in which participants detected named entities typed with corresponding concepts. In 2014, the challenge was extended to require also the linking of entities extracted to relevant DBpedia sources. 2015 saw further extension that tested the accuracy and runtime efficiency of entrants' systems for entity extraction and linking. #Microposts2016 will consolidate the 2015 task and provide a base from which participants will deploy live systems. Evolution of the challenge each year addresses a current need of researchers and others who rely on the output of text extraction tools specifically built to support or adapted to Micropost data, and where reliability and computation time are important when dealing with large-scale datasets. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------- #Microposts2016 will focus on topics including, but not exclusive to, the three areas below: MAKING SENSE/UNDERSTAND ? focusing on the human in Micropost data generation and analysis, we encourage submissions that look at understanding how situation and context drive individual and collective generation of Microposts, whether targeted at the general public, a specific person or other entity, e.g. a ruling government or a cause. We particularly encourage interdisciplinary work and that driven by research in Social & Computational Science and Information and Web Sciences, that lead to deeper understanding of Micropost content, and how this content influences the contribution of Micropost data to, among others: - Collective awareness - Education & citizen empowerment, data & citizen journalism - Civil action, media & politics - Political and polemical aspects of Microposts - Ethics, legal and privacy issues - Psychological profiling and psychological aspects of Micropost-based interaction - Cultural, generational and regional differences in access and use of Microposts - Humans as sensors - Impact of effortless posting and wearable devices on communication DISCOVER ? The extraction of information content from Microposts and subsequent analysis contribute to the discovery of patterns and trends in the data. This information is key to further knowledge discovery and application, using a number of approaches including: - Emergent semantics - Data mining from Microposts - Opinion mining, sentiment and sentic analysis - Network analysis and community detection - Influence detection and social contagion modelling - Prediction approaches - Linking Microposts into the Web of Linked Data (i.e. entity extraction and URI disambiguation) APPLY ? Applications papers and case studies describing systems that make use of Micropost data. This includes tools developed to support the generation and sharing of Microposts using a variety of devices and media, piggybacking where necessary on other communication methods, including SMS/MMS and even radio. Areas of interest include: - Collective intelligence, user profiling, personalisation & recommendation - Business analytics & market intelligence with particular attention to big data - Event & topic detection and tendency tracking - Microposts as a second screen to television, large screens and stages at public events - Geo-localised, Micropost-based services - Public consensus & citizen participation - Security, emergency response & health - Linking social and physical signals for, e.g., crowd tracking - Identification and use of geo-location information embedded in or attached to Microposts - Increasing importance of multilingual and non-English Microposts #Microposts2016 BEST PAPER AWARD -------------------------------- Best paper award for main track will be sponsored by the MK:Smart project (http://www.mksmart.org) Award: ?500 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (COMPUTATIONAL) SOCIAL SCIENCES TRACK -------------------------------------- To foster collaboration between Computer Science and (Computational) Social Science, and continue to encourage contribution from the latter domain to improve on 'Making Sense of Microposts', we will include again a special track dedicated to Social Science papers and other related fields. The best paper award for this track will for the second time be sponsored by GESIS, Germany, with an award of ?300. This track will be chaired by Katrin Weller (GESIS, Germany). Further detail will be sent out in a separate call for papers. Web page: http://microposts2016.seas.upenn.edu/socsci_track.html NAMED ENTITY RECOGNITION AND LINKING CHALLENGE ----------------------------------------------- Held since 2013, each year the challenge has allowed a valuable overview of the state of the art and has received expressions of interest and submissions from both industry and academia. We have also seen continued interest after publication of the results each year. We expect this to continue in 2016 with further extension of the challenge and with the provision of a base for the deployment of live systems. In line with the overall workshop goals, we envisage that the outcomes of the challenge will continue to advance work in the domains of named entity recognition and disambiguation, with a specific focus on function over the short length information snippets in Microposts. A detailed description of the challenge will be published in a separate call, with intent to participate to be registered in Jan 2016. Web page: http://microposts2016.seas.upenn.edu/challenge.html WORKSHOP STRUCTURE ------------------- We aim to start with a keynote address, followed by regular paper presentations and brief overviews of selected submissions to the Challenge. We will hold a poster and demo session to trigger further, in-depth interaction between workshop participants. The workshop will close with the presentation of awards. SUBMISSIONS ------------ Full papers: 8 pages Short and position papers: 4 pages Demos & Posters: 3 & 2 pages resp. Social Sciences track: 6 pages (full); 3 pages (short) Challenge extended abstracts: 3 pages (with challenge results) All written submissions should be prepared according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Template (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates), should include author names and affiliations, and 3-5 author-selected keywords. Where a submission includes additional material submission this should be made as a single, unencrypted zip file that includes a plain text file listing its contents. Submission is via EasyChair, at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=microposts2016 Each submission will receive, in addition to a meta-review, at least 2 peer reviews, with full papers at least 3 peer reviews. We aim to publish the #Microposts2016 proceedings as a single volume containing all three tracks, via CEUR. The same publication conditions however apply as for other workshop proceedings included in the WWW conference companion: "Any paper published by the ACM, IEEE, etc. which can be properly cited constitutes research which must be considered in judging the novelty of a WWW submission, whether the published paper was in a conference, journal, or workshop. Therefore, any paper previously published as part of a WWW workshop must be referenced and suitably extended with new content to qualify as a new submission to the Research Track at the WWW conference." Note this caveat does not apply to extended abstracts submitted to the special Social Sciences track summarising or discussing previously published work or presenting position statements.

The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals who make semantic computing work, who understand its benefits and encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information managers, IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from organisations ranging from NPOs, through public administrations to the largest companies in the world. Attendees learn from industry experts and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of semantic software, enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies, methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse; attendees have responsibilities in interlinking areas like knowledge management, technical documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise search, document management, business intelligence and enterprise vocabulary management. The success of last year?s conference in Vienna with more than 280 attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2016 will continue a long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world. There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal settings. SEMANTICS addresses problems common among information managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic software systems. The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make things work - just like you. In addition, attendees can network with experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great value to organisations as they encounter subtle technical issues in any stage of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a long-term impact on their careers and organisations. These factors make SEMANTiCS for our community the major industry related event across Europe. SEMANTiCS 2016 will especially welcome submissions for the following hot topics: * Data Quality Management * Data Science (Data Mining, Machine Learning, Network Analytics) * Semantics on the Web, Linked (Open) Data & schema.org * Corporate Knowledge Graphs * Knowledge Integration and Language Technologies * Economics of Data, Data Services and Data Ecosystems Following the success of previous years, the ?horizontals?

The aim of the meeting is to explore the feasibility of establishing an international means of assessing the quality of Higher Education programs for initial and continuing professional development of library and other information professionals. The goal of such an international assessment protocol would be to support opportunities for cooperation and collaboration among higher education institutions worldwide, and to ensure the equivalency of degrees and certificates granted as well as learning experiences. This would result in a system that would permit reciprocity in educational programs internationally for both initial professional positions and continuing professional development of library and information professionals. Proposals are welcome for papers (research, case studies, etc.) as well as panel presentations representing innovative and original perspectives on current and future issues in the assessment of LIS education and similar programs. For information on submission, please see the call for papers at http://2016.ifla.org/cfp-calls/education-and-training-section-joint-with-library-theory-and-research-sections.

Hence, it is a matter of EUChap, too. We were informed this week that the dean of the Philosophical Faculty of the University of D?sseldorf intends to *close the Department of Information Science in the next faculty council meeting on Tuesday, 26 January*. The reason for closure is the need to economize and to cut a professor's position at the level of the Philosophical Faculty (12 institutes, 10,000 students). However, unlike at other institutes, the cut of a professor in information science would entail the *closure of the whole department, affecting four degree programs, more than 10 university lecturers and almost 1,000 students*, as Prof. Stock is the only full information science professor in D?sseldorf. The imminent closure represents a *great loss not only for the greater field of information science but also for bibliometrics research and education*. Bibliometrics and scientometrics are inherent parts of the curriculum in D?sseldorf. Alumni, doctoral students as well as BA and MA students frequently present their research at international conferences such as ISSI, STI and the ASIS&T SIG/MET workshop. Information science students from D?sseldorf also play a role in bibliometric analyses for research funders and universities, as the research center in J?lich involves them in bibliometric contract work. I consider the planned closure short-sighted, ill-conceived and disastrous for information science and bibliometric education and research in Germany and Europe. As an alumna I strongly oppose the dean's decision to cut Prof. Stock's position and close the department and kindly *ask for your support*: The student body has started an *online petition* to protest against the closure, which has already gathered more than 700 signatures: change.org/saveIWS My colleagues Dirk Lewandowski, Jasmin Schmitz, Violeta Trkulja, Katrin Wellerand I have issued a *request for support letters from the community *to the university president and the dean to convince them to stop the intended closure. An English translation of their open letter can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Mm1Fli724z05miSdsh2n6q910SlqvhxsJXCUoB2520/edit?usp=sharing *Please help us to protest against the closure of the Department of Information Science by signing the petition, writing a letter and sharing this information with your colleagues.* * * Kind regards from Kiel, Isabella Peters PS: Further information in German can be found here: https://www.phil-fak.uni-duesseldorf.de/studium/fachschaften/informationswissenschaft/news/newsdetails/offener-brief-bzgl-der-einstellung-der-informationswissenschaftlichen-studiengaenge-3825/ http://libreas.tumblr.com/ http://www.infobroker.de/blog/informationswissenschaften-in-duesseldorf-vor-dem-aus/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OvqCP3SHFC-cEXOQ5WJAzLfFvAoEvBfEZ2AVQ6Ao5jI/edit?usp=sharing --- Alle Postf??cher an einem Ort.

As of 1 January 2016, I'm the editor-in-chief of Information Processing and Management. Information Processing and Management is one of the flagship journals for the fields of information science, including information retrieval and information searching. The journal has a great team of associate editors, who are Hideo Joho (University of Tsukuba, Japan), Christina Lioma (University of Copenhagen, Denmark), Ian Ruthven (University of Strathclyde, Scotland United Kingdom), and Liwen Vaughan (The University of Western Ontario, Canada). I believe IP&M is fortunate to have such a diverse set of impactful researchers as Associate Editors! The Information Processing and Management Editorial Board (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/information-processing-and-management/editorial-board/) is a fantastic group of researchers who will work to ensure the highest standards of research for the journal. This is evident in the time to publication for the journal, with a manuscript being through the review and production process in as little as 60 days. This is faster than many outlets in the information science field and much quicker than any conference that I know of. A complete presentation of the Information Processing and Management scope and aims is online (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/information-processing-and-management/). If your research topic is not listed, please reach out to me. I want Information Processing and Management to be a welcoming home for broad range of research areas in our field, including information searching, information retrieval, computational advertising, social computing, web analytics, human computing interaction, and health informatics. Also, a big thanks to Fabio Crestani, the outgoing editor-in-chief, who has excelled at leading the journal. His contribution to the field is considerable and greatly appreciated! Fabio, as well as former editor-in-chief, Tefko Saracevic, are maintaining their involvement with the journal as Editorial Board members. I am really looking forward to this challenge and opportunity of taking Information Processing and Management to its next exciting chapter. Consider Information Processing and Management as an outlet for your research manuscripts.

Given these changes, instructional design (ID) is becoming an important concept in librarians? day-to-day activities. Unique, library-specific challenges call for creative ideas that are grounded in solid research and theory. Applying the theory to your institution or circumstance is often challenging. This book will attempt to break down librarians? preconceptions of what ID is and inspire them to implement ID in creative ways. There are many variations in how different sectors understand and apply the concept of instructional design. *For purposes of this book*, we define it as intentional, sound instructional or programmatic creation, delivery, and assessment that takes into account the audience, course/program context, and shared learning goals. *Book Structure*: This book will have three main sections ? *Information Literacy Instruction, Programming and Outreach, *and *Online Initiatives*. We welcome chapters that focus on practical and creative approaches to ID implementation. What problem were you trying to solve? What ideas did you generate to solve that problem? Who was involved? What was the result? How can the ideas be adapted beyond your library situation? Supporting ID theory and models can supplement your ideas, but should not be the focus of your proposed chapter. Proposals will be considered in any of the following categories within one of the three main sections (Information Literacy Instruction, Programming and Outreach, and Online Initiatives): Suggested subtopics include: - Intentional planning using ID principles (e.g., lesson planning, designing targeted programs, moving from face-to-face to online instruction) - Collaboration with faculty, staff, and other on-campus support services - Assessment planning using ID principles - Obstacles and creative solutions to ID issues *Don?t see your topic here?* Contact the editors at CreativeIDBook at gmail.com to discuss how your idea may fit within this book?s scope. *Proposal Guidelines*: A short form with an attached Word document (.doc or .docx) is required for proposal submission. The Word document should be written in Times New Roman, 12 pt., be double-spaced, and include: - A working title - Names of all contributing authors & their respective institutions - Contact information for the primary author - A paragraph describing the proposed chapter - One final sentence that explains how your idea can be adapted beyond your library setting *Proposals are due by Friday, February 5, 2016*, and can be submitted to https://form.jotform.com/53554577686169 - Contributors will be notified of their status (acceptance or rejection) by February 23, 2016 - Deadline to submit the first draft of accepted chapters: April 1, 2016 - Estimated length of chapter: 2,500?4000 words - Projected publication date: September 2016 ACRL Publications Agreement FAQ: http://www.ala.org/acrl/publications/publicationsfaq Thank you, Brandon West (Social Sciences Librarian, SUNY Geneseo) Kim Davies Hoffman (Head of Outreach, Learning and Research Services, University of Rochester) Michelle Costello (Head of Instructional Services, SUNY Geneseo) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kimberly Davies Hoffman Head of Outreach, Learning, and Research Services River Campus Libraries University of Rochester khoffman at library.rochester.edu 585-275-9354-- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Centennial Scholar award is endowed by alumni and friends of GSLIS and given in recognition of outstanding accomplishments and/or professional promise in the field of library and information science. ?This is a real honor. One of the things that makes GSLIS a great academic home is the excellence and intellectual diversity of our faculty. To be recognized in this way by colleagues whom I really admire is so gratifying. I give my strongest thanks to the GSLIS faculty for this recognition and support of my work,? Efron said. ?This award will help me to continue organizing GSLIS?s ongoing participation in the annual Text Retrieval Conference (TREC), hosted by the National Institute for Standards and Technology. It will also afford me a much-welcomed freedom to pursue a project in the digital humanities?analyzing data from the HathiTrust?that I have had on the back burner for a few years now.? Efron joined the GSLIS faculty in 2009. His research areas include information retrieval in emerging domains such as social media and large collections of digitized books; diachronic issues in information retrieval; and human interactions with information search and retrieval systems. His current work focuses on information filtering problems, with special emphasis on applying unsupervised and semi-supervised statistical learning to filtering-related tasks. He has received funding to support this work from Google and the National Science Foundation. Efron has published papers in several scholarly journals?including the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST), Information Processing and Management, Journal of Digital Information, and Knowledge and Information Systems?and has presented at international conferences, receiving best paper awards and nominations. He currently serves on the editorial board of JASIST. ?Miles is working in new areas of enormous importance and promise, pioneering novel methods of information retrieval and analysis that will help us make better use of social media and other new sources of digital information. He is an extraordinary young scholar who already has great accomplishments to his credit and certainly more to come,? said GSLIS Dean Allen Renear. ?We are very proud to have him here with us.? Prior to joining the GSLIS faculty, Efron was an assistant professor in the School of Information at the University of Texas and a postdoctoral researcher and instructor at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. He holds a PhD in library and information science and an MS in information science from UNC Chapel Hill as well as a bachelor?s degree from Occidental College in English and comparative literature. In addition to his GSLIS faculty position, Efron holds a courtesy appointment in the Department of Computer Science. ??????????????????????????
