11-15 September, 2006
Queen Mary University of London
Deadline: May 5, 2006
URL: http://www.bcs-hci.org.uk/hci2006/participation/participation.html
There is still time to Engage in HCI 2006, the leading UK conference on usability.
We are now looking for exciting short papers, posters, panel sessions and interactive experiences or tell us about how you practice or study usability.
Deadline for all submissions: 5th May
You could also go for one of the world class tutorials and workshops on a huge range of established and emerging ideas in usability.
More details below and on the web-site:
www.hci2006.org
Short Papers
We invite the submission of high quality short papers from researchers and practitioners reporting late breaking results and work in progress. Short papers have made a lively and stimulating contribution to past HCI conferences and, reflecting this, the best will be published in Volume 1 of the HCI 2006 conference proceedings. All other accepted short papers
will appear in Volume 2 of the proceedings.
Posters
We invite you to submit posters addressing any of the conference themes.
Authors are encouraged to demonstrate work in progress and late-breaking
research results that show the latest innovative ideas to stimulate audiences.
Doctoral Consortium
The Consortium is designed for students currently registered for a PhD in
HCI or a related field. It is a great opportunity to engage with the
broader HCI community and get valuable and timely feedback on your research.
Panels
The call for panels remains open allowing you an extended opportunity to
create an event to explore a topic within a highly interactive format. We
hope that by extending the call you will have further opportunities for
proposals, the ability to propose late-breaking topics, and have a better
view of candidate panel members.
Interactive Experiences
Interactive Experiences are the home for demonstrations or presentations
involving real systems, prototypes, videos, interactive participations by
conference delegates and interactive surveys. It is a great showcase for
your latest products and prototypes and a great opportunity to test your
ideas with an enthusiastic audience.
Work practices and spaces
These sessions provide a forum for usability groups - private and public -
to promote the work they do. It allows them to introduce their work to the
wider Human-Computer Interaction community and share their insights,
challenges, successes and even failures.
Tutorials and Workshops
Full details of workshops and tutorials are not yet available but details
and contacts will appear on the web-site at the beginning of May.
Engage is the 20th BCS HCI Group conference, in co-operation with ACM.

Call for Papers: On the Horizon Issue: THE FATE OF THE ACADEMIC JOURNAL
Call for Papers: On the Horizon Issue: THE FATE OF THE ACADEMIC JOURNAL
ON THE HORIZON
http://www.emeraldinsight.com/oth.htm
Dr. Tom P. Abeles, editor
tabeles@gmail.com
Background
The Royal Society of London launched "Philosophical Transactions" in 1665 to get ideas out of closeted correspondence and into wider circulation. Today there are estimated to be 24,000 academic journals. The March issue of University Affairs (http://www.universityaffairs.ca, suggested that many of these provide more of a "publishing" venue rather than for the larger goal of getting ideas into circulation. This has become a stumbling block for the "open access" movement designed to use the Internet as a way to make knowledge open and accessible. The open access movement has also brought into focus the industry which has come to be dependent on the income from these journals, including large publishing houses and small academic societies where revenues subsidies other activities.
The increasing availability of scholarly articles through the Internet seems to reflect other issues which were once not visible. This includes plagiarism, poor editorial control over writing quality and thin articles which probably should be notes or a chart in a more substantive piece. Thus the potential of Open Access could raise the bar for authors and editorial boards of journals while challenging the purpose and substance of the scholarly journal. Simultaneously, some scholars have chosen to take their ideas to the larger, public, venue through the popular press and alternatives offered by the advent of electronic deliveries and just-in-time publishing.
What is to be the fate of the scholarly publication in the near and long term? What does this import for the current list of scholarly journals, the publishing houses and societies that distribute ideas via the journal, whether in print or electronic, subscription or open access? What does this mean for The Academy and the academic, given the shifting roles within the University? In an Internet world, where does respected knowledge originate and does this depend on the disciplines as defined by The Academy?
The Call
On the Horizon seeks ideas in the form of prospectus not to exceed one page in length. These will be due by 1 June 2006 with notification by 1 July and full papers due by 1 October, 2006. Ideas accepted will be published in essay format of up to 5000 words, but may be shorter. Footnotes and references are to inform as well as validate. Authors retain the copyrights beyond the publication in OTH. Final paper will include an abstract and key words.
The editor is interested in thoughtful ideas on format or collaborative/complementary articles. Questions can be addressed to the editor, above.
Kind Regards,

CFP: Cool Tools and New Technologies
Friday, October 27, 2006
Deadline: May 12, 2006
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~biomed/services.htmld/OctCon2006/
The tenth annual October Conference for New England academic librarians, sponsored by the Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries.
FIRST CALL FOR PRESENTERS
We seek presenters for the Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries' annual October Conference for New England academic librarians! The topic this year is "Cool Tools and New Technologies.” The Conference is scheduled for Friday, October 27, 2006. The day-long event will be held at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire (an easy two-hour drive from Boston, Springfield, and many other New England locations).
What's new on the technology front of import to libraries? Lots more than we have time to explore on our own! At this year’s October Conference—our tenth!—we’ll take a day and have fun exploring new online tools, software, services, and hardware, and their features that enhance our work as librarians.
What are you doing with information and communications technologies, tools, software, services, and gizmos? We are seeking presenters to describe and/or demonstrate new and emerging technologies and tools, innovative ways you use existing tools, or cool tricks that you’d like to share.
Tools can help us with our teaching, reference, research, marketing, outreach, and day-to-day workload management. Have you adapted free- or shareware to meet a particular need in your library? Have you used RSS, wikis, or blogs for an unusual library implementation? Have you used Connotea or podcasts in your work? Have you discovered a particularly useful or little known feature in a browser or Google or another search engine? Here's a brief and non-exclusive list of ideas that have come to us: bookmark management (on the browser, on the web, in special software); social web; data mining; browser extensions; making movies for library education; visualization of search results; delivery of search results (via RefWorks or EndNote); new gadgets and their potential library uses (cellphones, iPods, etc.).
To submit a proposal for a presentation (10-30 minutes), please e-mail pamela.bagley@dartmouth.edu by May 12. The proposal should include a description of the technology or tool you want to present, its application to library work, and how long you think you’ll need for the presentation.

CFP: 2006 Film and History League Conference "The Documentary Tradition"
CFP: 2006 Film and History League Conference "The Documentary Tradition"
The Film and History League conference details can be found at www.filmandhistory.org. The meeting will run from 8-12 November, 2006 in the Dolce Conference Center near the DFW airport. Many subject area venues are listed on the web page.
AREA: Sport Documentaries
From the classic and controversial Olympia (1938, Leni Riefenstahl) to the critical and commercial success of Murderball (2005: Rubin and Shapiro), sport documentaries represent a significant if under researched aspect of the documentary tradition. Certainly, documentary filmmakers have long recognized the sporting domain, whether that be sporting events, athletes, or sporting cultures, as fertile terrain for telling stories that reach an audience well beyond the sports aficionado: Hoop Dreams (1994, James) for example is in the top ten biggest grossing documentaries of all time. Furthermore, sport documentaries also constitute an increasingly important part of the burgeoning television sport channel output. As sport continues to expand and permeate global cultural consciousness, documentaries will continue to chronicle, critique and celebrate sport by offering us windows and mirrors on this universal human endeavor.
How do we account for the Sport Documentary? How have particular sport documentaries engaged with political and social issues, such as nationalism, gender, race and sexuality? Is it the case that sporting events, as one critic has argued, lie at the "actuality" end of the documentary spectrum? Is it useful to talk of the sport documentary as a sub-genre of documentary film? What is the relationship between: sport and the documentary; between sport documentaries and sport fiction; and between sport documentaries and mainstream sport programming? We are inviting submissions on all aspects of sports documentaries. Deadline for submission is July 25, 2006.

CFP: The Archive, the Book, and the Library (Modernist Studies Association)
CFP: The Archive, the Book, and the Library (Modernist Studies Association)
Proposed Panel for Modernist Studies Association 8 (2006)
October 19-22, 2006, Tulsa, OK
This panel seeks proposals on modernist critiques of (and experimentation with) the technology and institutions of the book. In what ways did modernist authors and movements address the material manifestations of literature, both old and emerging, in an effort to "make it new"?
Papers might address the relationship between print and manuscript, the role of the printing press, the relationship between modernist authors and publishers, booksellers, libraries, and universities, the use of the typewriter, methods of reading, and experimental or utopian bookmaking. Some examples might include: Pound's advocation of a "loose-leaf" system instead
of bound anthologies, to keep the best material in front; the influence of late 19th-century sentence diagrams on modernist poetry (e.g., Stein, Williams); the burning of the library in Williams's *Paterson*; avant-garde (especially Futurist and Constructivist) experimentation with printing and typesets; Olson's use of the typewriter (or O'Hara's use of the telephone)
and other new technologies; and other related topics.
Please send a maximum 500-word abstract along with a brief bio/CV to Timothy
Carmody at carmody@sas.upenn.edu by April 20. Inquiries welcome.

CFP: Westminster English Colloquia Series - Unpacking the Library: Literatures and their Archives.
CFP: Westminster English Colloquia Series - Unpacking the Library: Literatures and their Archives.
Event Date: June 10, 2006
Deadline for Abstracts: April 16, 2006
The history of Western culture is punctuated by affirmations of the presence, rebirth, or return of literature. Such affirmation involves, necessarily, if implicitly or symbolically, a turn toward the archival forms of the text – that is, traditionally speaking, a turn toward the codex and the library. This recourse to textual holdings in various senses clearly involves often unacknowledged complexities of institutional, technical and cultural issues.
Indeed, the relation between literature and the library has often been problematic – appearing within or between: the maintenance of ideas and the accumulation of material; imaginative or intellectual freedom and ideological collections policies; excitement and boredom; private ownership and mass dissemination; taxonomy and miscellany, chaos and order; past and future. The library may appear not only as a place of memory, security, and knowledge, but of loss, trauma, and indeterminacy. This complexity appears to be particularly apt for these times, when, in the context of digitisation, the traditional forms of textual accumulation seem to be in the process of their displacement and even their obsolescence.
However, literary studies have been historically characterised by the absence of any consistent attempt to encounter the relation between literature and its archival forms. The colloquium calls for papers which pursue a critical analysis of literatures and their archives from a multiplicity of approaches: literary-critical analyses of the figure of the library; philosophical encounters with literature and its texts; analysis of the symbolic connotations of the library from cultural studies; the appearance of textual-archival forms within contemporary art; sociological accounts of literature and the library within public culture; architectural readings of the library within the built environment, etc.
Further Information.
The English Colloquia series at the University of Westminster has been characterised by a wide range of critical engagements with key contemporary literary and cultural issues, by speakers of national and international academic standing, and by a significant record of publication.
Previous speakers have included Andrew Benjamin (Monash), Andrew Bowie (Royal Holloway), Simon Critchley (New School, NY), Alex Garcia Duttmann (Goldsmiths), Elena Gualtieri (Sussex), Maggie Humm (UEL), Simon Jarvis (Cambridge), Peter Osborne (Middlesex), Doina Petrescu (Sheffield), and Anthony Vidler (Cooper Union, NY). Previous Westminster English Colloquia include: ‘Reading Paul de Man’; ‘Art Demanding Community’; ‘The Culture and Philosophy of Comedy’; and ‘Forgotten Voices of the Twentieth Century’. The most recent events in this series were ‘Adorno and Literature’ and ‘Literature and Photography’.
Among other publications, these latter have both been developed as expanded volumes: Cunningham and Mapp (eds.), Adorno and Literature, Continuum 2006; Cunningham, Fisher, Mays (eds.), Twentieth Century Literature and Photography, CSP 2005.
The colloquium will be held on the 10th June 2006. Papers (of up to 45 minutes) or abstracts of (of up to 500 words) should be delivered via email as Word attachments by the end of the 16th of April 2006, along with a brief CV. The colloquium is able to reimburse speakers for refreshments on the day and national travel, but would welcome submissions from international speakers who will be in the UK around the time of the event.
