CFP: Bucknell University 6th Digital Scholarship Conference - October 2019, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania #BUDSC19

Bucknell University will host its sixth annual digital scholarship conference (#BUDSC19) on campus from October 11th - 13th. The theme for this year’s conference is “From Wonder to Action: the Journey of Digital Scholarship”

While every digital scholarship endeavor may be unique, many are kindled in a moment of wonder and are given form through three areas of activity -- the spark, the flow, and the sharing.

Wonder excites you, breaks inertia and sparks you into action. A great idea for a creative endeavor begins to take shape.

As a project or program starts to come together, activity flows, weaving itself into existence as purpose lends clarity to action. You're now building the project, teaching the class or using the technology.

The project nears completion, and your creation is ready to be shared, to bring wonder to others and to ignite their own spark. The cycle starts anew.

Sessions at this conference will be organized around each of these three actions -- the spark, the flow, and the sharing. Possible topics might include, but are not limited to:

• Exciting new ideas, projects, or technologies that spark the imagination,
• Activity flows that transform the spark into action,
• Stories about how you share the wonder.

Please keep in mind that these are only examples! Don’t be afraid to be creative with your submission.

Proposals may take the form of interactive presentations, project demos, electronic posters, panel discussions, work-in-progress sessions, workshops, lightning talks, or other creative formats.

#BUDSC19 is committed to expanding the definition of digital scholarship to be more inclusive across diverse communities, both inside and outside of academia. The conference will bring together a broad community of practitioners--faculty, researchers, librarians, artists, educational technologists, students, administrators, and others--engaged in digital scholarship both in research and teaching who share an interest in the journey of digital scholarship.

We look forward to building on the success of the last five years, in which we came together to discuss challenges, share working models, reflect on projects, and inspire new avenues for actively including students in scholarly pursuits. For more information, please view our highlights from the 2018 meeting or search our archived sessions.

Join us to discuss the Journey of Digital Scholarship, where wonder leads to action.

Submission Form: https://bucknell.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bkMmKAWjCyVP9c1

Proposals are due: 8:00 PM, Eastern Time (US), Thursday, June 6th
Notifications will be sent mid-July

If you have any questions please contact: budsc@bucknell.edu

CFP: BitCurator Users Forum 2019 (Yale University - October 2019)

Call for Proposals

BitCurator Users Forum 2019: Communities of Practice

Submission Form - https://forms.gle/swXwvUEJ42KX4qxi7

The BitCurator Consortium (BCC) invites proposals for the 2019 BitCurator Users Forum, to be held October 24-25 at Yale University. An international, community-led organization with 42 member institutions, the BCC promotes and supports the application of digital forensics tools and practices in libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage organizations.

In previous years, the BitCurator Users Forum has focused on sharing strategies, approaches, and best practices for using digital forensics tools and methods within processing workflows in archives, libraries, and museums. While we still encourage proposals in these topic areas, this year we are seeking to expand the scope and discussions at the 2019 Users Forum to explore themes and concepts across organizations and fields of practice, such as collaboration, advocacy, ethics, and other areas. We particularly welcome participation from organizations and individuals working outside of academic and special collections libraries, as well as individuals working outside of the United States. See more details on our Call for Proposals page.

Please note that the BitCurator Users Forum is open to all. You don't need to be a BCC member to submit a proposal and/or attend the event.

The first day of the BitCurator Users Forum will feature an introduction to digital forensics workshop aimed at practitioners who are just getting started working with digital forensics tools and methods. This workshop will include an overview of digital forensics concepts, and will mostly focus on hands-on exercises and activities. Other programming on both days of the Forum will include a variety of sessions, from to participant-driven workshops to panel presentations.

Submission Information

Deadlines

Submission Deadline: May 17, 2019

Acceptance Notification: June 14, 2019

Participant-focused session formats

Sessions facilitated by individuals or groups welcome. 60 minutes - 4 hours

Please submit a 250-word (maximum) abstract describing the session format and topic(s).

The Program Committee particularly encourages participant-focused session formats that incorporate interactivity. This can include any type of non-traditional session format, such as peer-to-peer learning sessions, collaborative working sessions, roundtables, etc.

Presentations

Individual or group submissions welcome. 30 - 60 minutes

Please submit a 250-word (maximum) abstract. If submitting as an solo speaker, individual panelists may be matched by the BCC Program Committee based on complementarity of subjects or overarching themes.

We encourage presentations to move beyond the case study and address pressing issues, best practices, opportunities for collaboration, visions, and expanded uses for digital forensics in libraries, archives, museums, and beyond. The Program Committee strongly encourages proposals from underrepresented groups, and/or those that feature the perspectives of a variety of roles, organizations, or fields. We particularly welcome alternative panel formats (pecha kucha, group discussions, or others) that will facilitate dialogue and enlarge participation.

Lightning Talks

1 presenter, 5-12 minutes

Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words.

Lightning talks are a great format for case studies, digital forensics “success stories” or “tragic tales,” and research updates.

Themes

The BCC Program Committee recognizes that the field of digital forensics is broad and diverse, and accepts proposals that focus on any related topic from any field. We particularly encourage proposals to consider areas of interest such as:

• Integration and Collaboration
• How have cross-departmental or intra-institutional projects helped to build, teach, or improve digital archives workflows and outcomes?
• Are there examples of tools or systems that have been linked or leveraged to improve preservation outcomes? What areas of opportunity exist for future integrations?
• What communities of practice exist around digital archives?
• What challenges and opportunities are involved in cross-disciplinary digital archives collaborations?
• Advocacy and Building Capacity
• How are you building capacity through “in-reach” and cross-training?
• How does your work with digital archiving connect to other forms of advocacy and organizing?
• What does successful advocacy for digital archives, preservation, and forensics look like?
• How can we better demonstrate the value of digital archives and digital forensic work?
• How can staff at small or underfunded organizations advocate for the time, tools, and expertise to conduct digital archives work?

• People and Policy
• What training curricula exist for working with digital archives and forensics? Are existing options sufficient?
• How do people come to work with digital archives, preservation, and forensics? What skills from past experience have proven valuable?
• How do digital archivists learn on the job?
• What policies impact the experiences of digital archives workers?
• How can we balance the need to maintain existing infrastructure with innovation and responding to new technologies?

• Ethics
• How do privacy and security, donor relations, institutional risk tolerance, and other ethical issues affect your work with digital archives?
• How do we address the fact that doing one’s work often means relying on tools and techniques that were originally developed for the law enforcement community?
• How do we address the environmental impact of large digital archives while managing researcher’s expectations of immediate/online access to digital materials?
