CFP: 3rd Workshop on "Foundations of Digital Libraries"
Aarhus, Denmark, September 18, 2008
http://www.delos.info/DLFoundations2008
Sponsored by the DELOS Association
In conjunction with the 12th ECDL Conference
Workshop Objectives
-------------------
Since its conception, the Digital Library field has been a very broad
and heterogeneous research arena, attracting practitioners and
researchers from a large number of disciplines. Despite the plethora
of diversely motivated models, systems, and results that have been
developed, no agreement exists yet on the foundations characterizing
and governing Digital Libraries. Nowadays the community is well aware
of the problems generated by such lack of a universally accepted
unifying framework; it is urgent that the current situation is
reversed so that progress in the field can be accelerated.
The recent release of the Reference Model for Digital Libraries (http://www.delos.info/ReferenceModel) by the DELOS Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries (http://www.delos.info) represents a first step towards establishing such a unified
framework. In particular, the “DELOS Reference Model” identifies the
basic concepts and relationships characterizing the area and allows
for further additions, expansions, and specializations as the field
evolves.
After JCDL’07 and ECDL’07, this third edition of the Workshop on
“Foundations of Digital Libraries” intends to serve as a vehicle for
consolidating and expanding the DELOS Reference Model as well for
exploring other fundamental aspects of Digital Libraries through
contributions brought by the participants in the workshop. Its
ultimate goal is to stimulate a process that can lead to a
comprehensive and universally accepted model, influencing future
activities and development of Digital Library systems.
To achieve its goals, the workshop will focus on modeling the main
concepts characterizing the Digital Library universe: Content, User,
Functionality, Policy, Quality and Architecture. For each one of these
aspects, papers are solicited that outline modeling challenges and
propose appropriate solutions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- (Semi-)Formal Models for Digital Libraries
- Theoretical Foundations of Digital Libraries
- Models for Content, User, Functionality, Policy and Quality
- Reference Architectures for Digital Library Systems
- Digital Library Management Systems
- Evaluation of current approaches in modeling Digital Libraries
- Digital Library Interoperability Models and Methodologies
- Preservation Models and Methodologies
- Concrete exploitations and implementations of Digital Library models
Paper Submission and Publication
--------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers.
Submitted manuscripts will be limited to 8 pages, following the
guidelines for the LNCS format provided by Springer (http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-72376-0&teaserId=45515&CENTER_ID=73062
). Preferred formats are PDF or Microsoft Word. Papers should be
submitted via email to DLFoundations2008 AT isti DOT cnr DOT it.
Papers submitted to the workshop will undergo a peer-review process.
Accepted papers will be published as a volume in the DELOS workshop
proceedings series, which will also be made available in the DELOS
digital library. For every accepted paper, at least one author is
required to attend the workshop and present the paper. Depending upon
the number and quality of the submissions, efforts to coordinate
follow-on publications may be made, involving journal publication of
extended versions of some of the accepted papers.

CFP: Journal for Computing Teachers (JCT)
CFP: Journal for Computing Teachers (JCT)
JCT is published under the auspices of the Special Interest Group for Computer Teachers (SIGCT) in the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). The primary mission of SIGCT is to enhance precollege instruction in computer science. JCT accepts manuscripts for possible publication in two ways – editor reviewed and peer reviewed.
In the “editor reviewed” process, articles are reviewed by the editor. In the “peer-reviewed” portion of the journal, manuscripts are acknowledged by the editor upon receipt and, after a preliminary review to judge their appropriateness for JCT, are sent to at least two members of the Editorial Review Board. Following the completion of the review process, the editor contacts the author(s) to accept the paper for publication, to accept the paper conditional on the completion of any recommended revisions, or to reject it.
Submission topics include but are not limited to:
• Academic and research articles relating to the teaching of computing in K-12 education
• Pedagogical articles describing and explaining the rationale for some teaching practice, approach, or lesson
• Theoretical articles explaining or arguing particular principles or models of learning, teaching, curriculum development, content perspective-taking, etc.
• Explanatory articles providing teachers with professional development information, e.g., understanding hardware and software (TCP/IP, worm/virus operation, file systems, etc.), conceptual understanding (e.g., encryption, XML), etc.
• Reports concerning computing (e.g., curriculum and policy recommendations)
For information about the journal and submission guidelines for authors, go to http://www.iste.org/JCT. Potential authors do not have to be members of ISTE or SIGCT to publish in JCT. Submission deadline for fall 2008 issue is September 1, 2008.
Also, members for the Editorial Review Board for the Journal for Computing Teachers (JCT) are sought. The quality of JCT is reliant upon thorough outside reviews from qualified professionals.

Location: Massachusetts, United States
40th Anniversary Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association Hyatt Regency - Boston
No longer exclusively the realm of fanatic collectors, outcast misfits, or sneering speculators, the comic book is now entering art galleries, multiplexes, and book clubs. But when they become the lucrative, marketed, popularized property of all, what gets lost? Moreover, what of the authority? This panel looks to compare the late 20th century rise of the graphic novel and comic book series, particularly the new discourses being employed by the widening audience/market for the form in the present context. How have standards changed? What machinery has been put in place concerning the analysis of the comic book, and how does that now reflect back on its creation?
Submit a 500-word proposal and brief vita to panel chair A. David Lewis by 9/15/08.

CFP: Entrepreneurism in Libraries
CFP: Entrepreneurism in Libraries
To all Librarians, Entrepreneurs, and Innovators:
We seek pioneers, adventurers and inventors to tell their stories. The libraries of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Wake Forest University are organizing a conference entitled, "Inspiration, Innovation, Celebration: an Entrepreneurial Conference for Librarians".
We strive to provide a forum for you to share your path to change.
Conference dates: June 3rd and 4th, 2009 in the Elliott University Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
The mission for this conference is threefold:
1) To share and celebrate entrepreneurial accomplishments in libraries
2) To inspire each other to innovate in our libraries
3) To create a community of interested librarians who will perpetuate the discussion beyond the conference
Entrepreneurial activity may have taken place in areas such as: instruction, services, processes, facilities or resources, but this list is not exhaustive. We're interested in hearing about your process and the successful presentation could include the following:
* Identification of an unmet need or development of an innovative approach that extends the scope of service
* A non-traditional approach to fulfilling our mission as libraries
* A description of how a solution was designed and implemented including any obstacles that were encountered (financial, structural, human...)
* A discussion of lessons learned or what you would do differently next time and the project's current status
* A description of the keys to success
* A tone that inspires us all to become more entrepreneurial in our libraries, however small the project
Format:
* Sessions should be one hour in length to include 45 minute presentation with 15 minutes for Q&A.
* We will accept panel discussions
Timing:
* If interested, submit a letter of intent - a one paragraph description of your presentation - immediately. Those who submit a letter of intent by September 1st will receive priority consideration.
* Please submit your final proposal by 5:00 pm on Monday 1 November 2008; it should include a detailed outline of the presentation with a textual description of the entrepreneurial project.
* Photos, drawings or other multi-media aids are welcome; display space will be available at the conference.
