CFP: iPRES 2008: The Fifth International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects
The British Library will host this year's International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects (iPRES 2008) at its Conference Centre in St Pancras, London, on 29-30 September 2008.
Conference URL: http://www.bl.uk/ipres2008/
CFP URL: http://www.bl.uk/ipres2008/papers.html
Dates:
Registration opens: 12 May
Submission of title and abstract: 28 May 2008
Notification of acceptance: 14 June 2008
Camera-ready papers due: 15 August 2008
Deadline for early registration: 21 July 2008
Registration deadline: 22 September 2008
Conference opens: 29 September 2008
Call for papers
The value and volume of digital information increases year on year. Our scientific, cultural, and social heritage becomes more digital and the need to ensure that it can be effectively preserved becomes more urgent. This problem is not confined within national boundaries and is not specific to any discipline. We must work together to solve the challenges posed by this historic change. Whilst easily envisaged, collaborative working across national boundaries requires commitment, planning and co-ordination, and the theme of this year’s conference is designed to focus minds on how that can be achieved.
There are, in addition, further areas where the community needs to consider the value of a joined up approach. Stronger links can be forged between libraries and archives or between those practising scientific data curation and those involved with preserving arts and humanities information or learning materials. We need to strengthen the ties between theory and practice in digital preservation. It should be possible to show that preservation practice is underpinned by theory and can deliver benefits to stakeholder communities.
iPRES is a series of international conferences that seeks to address issues relating to digital preservation by bringing together experts and practitioners across the spectrum of digital preservation disciplines. We invite you to submit papers and presentations that present substantial new results, contribute to the conceptual foundations of digital preservation, or show novel applications of existing work. Empirical evidence demonstrating what works – and what doesn’t – is also welcome.

an opportunity to obtain feedback about their work from a wide range
of persons during the poster session.
Accepted posters and demos will be displayed during a dedicated
session, preceded by a plenary poster spotlight presentation session.
The poster and demo session will allow attendees to have first-hand
views of innovative digital library technologies and applications and
to talk informally with system developers and researchers.
The call is also open for contributions to panels, themes, tutorials
and Doctoral Consortium. For more information see the website

CFP: Technology of Data: Collection, Communication, Access and Preservation (IASSIST)
CFP: Technology of Data: Collection, Communication, Access and Preservation (IASSIST)
Palo Alto, California - May 27-30, 2008
Deadline: December 17, 2007
The 34th International Association for Social Science Information Services and Technology (IASSIST) annual conference will be held at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, USA, May 27-30, 2008. This year's conference, Technology of Data: Collection, Communication, Access and Preservation, examines the role of technology and tools in various aspects of the data life cycle.
The theme of this conference addresses how technology can affect aspects of data stewardship throughout the data lifecycle. The methods and media by which data are collected, shared, analyzed and saved are ever-changing, from punch cards and legal pads to online-surveys and tag clouds. There has been an explosion of data sources and topics; vast changes in compilation and dissemination methods; increasing awareness about access and associated licensing and privacy issues; and growing concern about the safeguarding and protection of valuable data resources for future use. The 2008 conference is an opportunity to discuss the role of technology – past, present, and future – in all of these arenas. We seek submissions of papers, poster/demonstration sessions, and panel sessions on the following topics:
-Issues and techniques for preserving "old" data as well as information "born digital"
-Methods, technology and questions surrounding data dissemination, including best practices and innovations
-Archival and preservation challenges presented by new processes
-Metadata
-Innovation in the use of data for teaching and research
-The legal issues surrounding new technologies
-Changes in resource discovery methods
-Data services in virtual spaces
-Providing services to users with different degrees of technical "savvy"
-Tools and spaces for research collaboration
Papers on other topics related to the conference theme will also be considered. The deadline for paper, session, and poster/demonstration proposals is December 17, 2007. The Conference Program Committee will send notification of the acceptance of proposals by February 8, 2008.
Individual presentation proposals and session proposals are welcome. Proposals for complete sessions, typically a panel of three to four presentations within a 90-minute session, should provide information on the focus of the session, the organizer or moderator, and possible participants. The session organizer will be responsible for securing session participants. Organizers as well as panel participants are also welcome to submit additional paper proposals but please note that the Conference Program Committee may need to limit the number of presentations per person.
Proposals for papers, sessions, and posters/demonstrations should include the proposed title and an abstract no longer than 200 words. Longer abstracts will be returned to be shortened before being considered. Please note that all presenters are required to register and pay the registration fee for the conference. Registration for individual days will be available.
Proposals can be submitted via email to: iassist08@gmail.com
A conference website with an on-line submission form will be available shortly. A separate call for workshop proposals is also forthcoming.

CFP: Digital Archiving at (dis)junctions 2007 (University of California Riverside’s 14th Annual Humanities Graduate Conference)
This call for papers is for a proposed panel to be held at (dis)junctions 2007: Malappropriation Nation at the University of California Riverside’s 14th Annual Humanities Graduate Conference on April 6-7, 2007.
Contributors are invited to submit critical works on digital archiving. These papers can examine the roles new media and new technologies play in the archiving of literary texts. How does the translation of a text from print culture into the digital realm effect its reading and reception? How does it allow for a re-imagining of the text? How does digital archiving create a new mode of access to texts? What are the tensions around the creation of such archives?
Abstracts of 250-300 words should be e-mailed to helen.lovejoy@sbcglobal.net by January 5, 2007 (text in the body of the message; please no attachments).
For more information, please visit the website at
