The theme highlights the introduction of a new conference focus on Applied Research, which recognizes that basic research in information science is also inspired by, and/or connected to, information practice contexts. Submissions are encouraged that present theoretical or applied research with results that demonstrate one or more of the following themes: Impact on Individuals Impact on Society Impact on Organizations Impact on Systems & Technology Impact on Information Contexts Important Dates Papers, Panels, Workshops & Tutorials Submissions: April 30, 2015 Notifications: June 11, 2015 Final copies: July 15, 2015 Posters, Demos & Videos: Submissions: July 1, 2015 Notifications: July 30, 2015 Final copies: August 20, 2015 Conference Chair: Lisa Given Paper Co-Chairs: Brian Detlor, Hazel Hall Panel Co-Chairs: Heather O'Brien, Alison Brettle Poster Co-Chairs: Lynn Westbrook, Michael Khoo Richard Hill Executive Director Association for Information Science and Technology 1320 Fenwick Lane, Suite 510 Silver Spring, MD 20910 FAX: (301) 495-0810 (301) 495-0900 From rhill at asis.org Fri Apr 10 15:45:44 2015 From: rhill at asis.org (Richard Hill) Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2015 15:45:44 -0400 Subject: [Sigifp-l] CFP ASIS&T Lecture Series Message-ID: <387-220154510194544143@LEN-dick-2011> Deadline is September 30, 2015 for 2016 lecture, The ASIS&T Annual Lecture is intended to promote the progress of information science and technology through one annual lecture delivered by a noted information scientist (or a person with related interests and accomplishments).

I'm putting together a panel submission for ASIS&T, and our lovely chair suggested I reach out over the list to find interested participants. The panel will be a discussion on the right to be forgotten - I've pasted a draft abstract below. Please me know if you'd be interested in joining. Thanks! Meg The right to be forgotten gained international attention in May 2014, when the European Court of Justice ruled that Google was obligated to recognize European citizens' data protection rights to address inadequate, irrelevant, or excessive personal information. As of April 14, 2015, Google received 239,337 requests to eliminate 867,930 URLs from search results and has removed 305,095 URLs, a rate of 41.5 percent. The right to be forgotten is intended to legally address digital information that lingers and threatens to shackle individuals to their past by exposing the information to opaque data processing and online judgment. There are a number of challenges to developing these rights - digital information means and touches so many aspects of life across cultures as they grapple with new policies. The controversial ruling and establishment of such a right, potential for a similar movement in the U.S., and future of transborder data flows will be discussed by this interdisciplinary panel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kristene Unsworth, PhD.

The Editor solicits papers from appropriate individuals that fit the scope of JASIST, oversees the activities of the Associate Editors, Guest Editors, and Editorial Board to ensure that submitted papers are peer reviewed by appropriately qualified and experienced persons, and communicates promptly with authors to accept or reject manuscripts or to request revision in response to referees' reports. The Editor, in consultation with the Society, appoints and renews Editorial Board members for an agreed term to ensure that the Board?s composition is sufficiently international and broad in scope to maintain JASIST worldwide within its field, and communicates regularly (at least annually) with the Editorial Board concerning the development of the Journal, editorial strategy, submissions and promotion. The Editor assists the Publishers in promoting JASIST by advising on publicity and promoting the JASIST wherever possible through contacts and at conferences attended. The Editor is responsible for the intellectual workflow (e.g., using the electronic manuscript system, sequencing papers in issues) and insuring that the instructions to authors are followed (e.g., that copy is original, and has not been published elsewhere; that copy is not defamatory or otherwise unlawful, and that appropriate illustrations and tabular matter, permissions, and assignments of copyright are included). BACKGROUND REQUIREMENT OF INCUMBENT a) Education: Graduate Degree. b) Skills Required: The Editor must be a leader who has strong motivational, interpersonal, and communication skills.

Knowledge of electronic communications and electronic manuscript management systems is essential. The Editor must be familiar with electronic publishing trends, issues of originality and reuse, and Open Access points of view and publishing economics. In additional to oversight abilities, the Editor must be willing and able to delegate. c) Term: The term for this position is five years. A limit of two terms is imposed. d) Relevant Experience: Substantial knowledge of JASIST and the field of information science. A record of scholarly publication. Prior editorship experience and/or editorial board experience with a comparable scholarly, technical, or scientific (refereed) journal is highly preferred.
