Call for Manuscripts - Internet Reference Services Quarterly
Internet Reference Services Quarterly (IRSQ), a peer-reviewed journal published by The Haworth Press, Inc., welcomes the submission of manuscripts for its next issue. This comprehensive and highly respected journal offers readers examples of cutting-edge technologies innovatively applied for the enhancement of library service. Don't let the word "reference" in the title fool you: the journal has a broader focus, seeking to highlight the theory and practice behind emerging Internet services, sources and resources in all areas of librarianship. If you are using technology to make the lives of you or your patrons better, we want to hear from you!
Research-based studies, case studies of successful services or programs, and authoritative articles highlighting best practices are welcome. Topics of interest to us include: course management systems, blogs, statistical packages and analyzers, web tutorials, federated searching technologies, link resolvers, digital collections and digital object repositories, information services for cell phones, iPods or PDAs, Internet and copyright law, plagiarism, electronic information access (e-reserves, document delivery, electronic theses of dissertations, home-grown databases), digital or virtual reference services, streaming video and audio, library web site innovations, management of electronic resources, IT/library mergers, Internet security, Googlization, etc.
Submissions should follow the Haworth guidelines for manuscript format and preparation available at http://www.haworthpress.com/journals/instructionsforauthors.asp. All submissions should be accompanied by a Manuscript Submission and Copyright Transfer form, available at http://www.haworthpressinc.com/pdfs/jmanuscript.pdf.
All accepted manuscripts will be published in the journal's next issue, Volume 11, No. 1. The due date for submission of manuscripts is August 1st, 2005.

CFP: Technology and the Home
CFP: Technology and the Home
One could reasonably argue that without technology in its simplest form, homes would not exist. Technology has also made homes more comfortable, attractive, safer, and sturdier. In the pre-industrial past, the home’s relationship to technology was fairly straightforward: homes either
benefitted from changes in technology or they did not. Today, the relationships between the home and technology are complex and, at times, contradictory. For example, owners of a historic house will often research and revive outdated technologies in order to "correctly" restore a house to its former glory. Yet, they may incorporate modern decorative materials, lighting, heating, and appliances. On the other hand, the owner of a more recent home has an unprecedented range of environmentally friendly and fireproof materials, energy efficient appliances, and innovative furniture and furnishings from which to chose. In addition, some contemporary technologies that may seem benign, such as computers, RFID tags, smart
technology and the latest appliances, may have detrimental effects. Technology and the Home welcomes papers examining the home's positive and negative relationships to technology in any and all past, present, and future applications. There is no limit on the time frame nor upon the
methodology. Proposals from undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals welcome.
The 2005 conference is from November 4-6 in New Brunswick, NJ. Registration
fees apply. For more information, please go to

Rewiring "The Nation": The Place of Technology in American Studies
Rewiring "The Nation": The Place of Technology in American Studies
An American Quarterly Speical Issue
Edited by Carolyn de la Peña, University of california, Davis and Siva Vaidhyanathan, New York University
We invite submissions for a special issue of American Quarterly on "Technology and American Culture" to be published in September 2006. We challenge scholars working among an array of "technologies" and "Americas" to interrogate why we might study technology in a post-Eurocentric, post-national American studies. Join us in re-reading the narrative of U.S. technologies as we move beyond celebrations of exceptional tinkerers and a deterministic machine-driven sense of progress to a more complex understanding of the opportunities and responsibilities that befall a nation that interweaves its identities, labors, and creative cultures with its machines. We seek to put a variety of conversations in dialogue, including the present and historical, the national and international, the material and theoretical, and the critical and celebratory. We invite authors who employ a variety of methodologies to contribute their work. We are particularly interested in projects that explore the place of "American" technologies in an increasingly globalized, multi-polar, "high-technology" world and those that illuminate the relationship between technological positivism and dynamics of imperialism and war. Papers with hypertext elements and proposals for online components for papers are also encouraged
Essays should be no longer than 10,000 words, including notes. Please send essays to American Quarterly by September 1, 2005. Please send any questions about the call for papers to american.quarterly@usc.edu. Information about American Quarterly and submission guidelines can be found on our web site: www.americanquarterly.org.
