Open Scholarship: Authority, Community and Sustainability in the Age of Web 2.0
Scholarly communications, in particular scholarly publications, are undergoing tremendous changes. Researchers, universities, funding bodies, research libraries and publishers are responding in different ways, from active experimentation, adaptation, to strong resistance.
The ELPUB2008 conference will focus on key issues on the future of scholarly communications resulting from the intersection of semantic web technologies, the development of cyberinfrastructure for humanities and the sciences, and new dissemination channels and
business models. We welcome a wide variety of papers from members of these communities whose research and experiments are transforming the nature of scholarly communications. Topics include but are not restricted to:
* New Publishing models, tools, services and roles
* New scholarly constructs and discourse methods
* Innovative business models for scholarly publishing
* Multilingual and multimodal interfaces
* Services and technology for specific user communities, media, and content
* Content search, analysis and retrieval
* Interoperability, scalability and middleware infrastructure to facilitate awareness and discovery
* Personalisation technologies (e.g. social tagging, folksonomies, RSS, microformats)
* Metadata creation, usage and interoperability
* Semantic web issues
* Data mining, text harvesting, and dynamic formatting
* User generated content and its relation to publisher's content

CFP (edited volume): Library Data: Empowering Practice and Persuasion
CFP (edited volume): Library Data: Empowering Practice and Persuasion
Librarians increasingly have access to vast amounts of data, but more important than the data itself is how it is handled, interpreted, and used. This is your opportunity to contribute to the
critical discussion concerning the theory, uses, and best practices concerning numerical evidence in libraries today.
As its working title suggests, this collection proceeds from the basic observation that library data serves two primary functions: informing decision-making and providing support for communication beyond library walls. Some data analysis projects may support both activities, but most (appropriately) primarily address just one or the other. Therefore, the finished work will include papers that focus on data-driven practice or data-strengthened persuasion, as well
as studies that may speak to both.
Some topics to address might include:
*how existing data sets may be used to make a case for funding, resource, or other changes
*how "non-library" data (community demographics, economics, etc.) may relate to library trends
*interesting or non-traditional sources of data and how they may be used in library decision-making
*assessing the integrity of electronic data (web site "hits," vendor-supplied versus internal data, etc.)
*librarians for planning, assessment, data analysis, etc.: a new specialization within the profession?
*critiques of commercially available tools for data analysis
*comparing apples and oranges: data on different scales
*a crash course in statistics for non-statistician librarians
*how you have made a potentially "ho-hum" data presentation data engaging and persuasive
You may find inspiration in:
*Summary and presentation documents from the recent ACRL Education & Behavioral Sciences Section's 2007 conference panel, "Empowering Data," available at:
http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/aboutacrl/acrlsections/EBSS/ebssconferenceinfo/empoweringdata.htm
*Publicly available (and understudied) reports and data from the U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) web site:
http://www.nclis.gov/survey.htm
*Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Statistics,available at:
http://fisher.lib.virginia.edu/arl/
Please send inquiries or brief proposals (of approx. 150 words) to:
darby_orcutt@ncsu.edu (Darby Orcutt, North Carolina State University Libraries)
Deadline for proposals: November 19, 2007
Deadline for completed chapters: March 31, 2008

CFP: The Reformation of the Book (Ohio State University Summer Seminar)
CFP: The Reformation of the Book (Ohio State University Summer Seminar)
John N. King and James K. Bracken of The Ohio State University will direct
a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for College and University Teachers on continuity and change in the production, dissemination, and reading of Western European books during the 250 years following the advent of printing with movable type. In particular, they plan to pose the governing question of whether the advent of printing was a necessary precondition for the Protestant Reformation. This seminar will also explore the related problem of whether the impact of printing was revolutionary or evolutionary. Employing key methods of the still-emerging interdisciplinary field of the History of the Book, our investigation will consider how the physical nature of books affected ways in which readers understood and assimilated their intellectual contents. This program is geared to meet the needs of teacher-scholars interested in the literary, political, or cultural history of the Renaissance and/or Reformation, the History of the Book, art history, women's stud!
ies, religious studies, bibliography, print culture, library science (including would-be rare book librarians), mass communication, literacy studies, and more.
This seminar will meet from 18 June until 20 July 2007. During the first
week of this program, we shall visit Antwerp, Belgium, in order to draw on resources including the Plantin-Moretus Museum. It preserves the world's only surviving early modern printing and publishing house. During four weeks in Oxford, where we shall reside at St. Edmund Hall, we plan to draw on the resources of the Bodleian Library and other institutions. In addition, we shall make an overnight trip to London in order to visit other rare book collections.
Those eligible to apply include citizens of USA who are engaged in teaching at the college or university level and independent scholars who have received the terminal degree in their field (usually the Ph.D.). In addition, non-US citizens who have taught and lived in the USA for at least three years prior to March 2007 are eligible to apply. NEH will provide participants with a stipend of $3,600.
Full details and application information are available at http://people.cohums.ohio-state.edu/king2/Reformationofthebook/. For further information, please contact rankin.86@osu.edu. The application deadline is March 1, 2007.
