CFP: Academic Blogging and Workplace Politics (ongoing; e-journal)
Sobriquet Magazine
In recent weeks, a heated debate over the dangers academic bloggers may face when applying for jobs has emerged as a result of a recent essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education (http://chronicle.com/jobs/2005/07/2005070801c.htm ). The author, writing under the pseudonym Ivan Tribble, claims, among other things, that often the simple practice of maintaining a “blog was a negative” for applicants seeking employment in his department. “The content of the blog,” Tribble continues, “may be less worrisome than the fact of the blog itself. Several committee members expressed concern that a blogger who joined our staff might air departmental dirty laundry (real or imagined) on the cyber clothesline for the world to see. Past good behavior is no guarantee against future lapses of professional decorum.”
Elsewhere, the author warns “[y]ou may think your blog is a harmless outlet. You may use the faulty logic of the blogger, ‘Oh, no one will see it anyway.’ Don't count on it. Even if you take your blog offline while job applications are active, Google and other search engines store cached data of their prior contents. So that cranky rant might still turn up.”
He concludes the essay with “[w]e've seen the hapless job seekers who destroy the good thing they've got going on paper by being so irritating in person that we can't wait to put them back on a plane. Our blogger applicants came off reasonably well at the initial interview, but once we hung up the phone and called up their blogs, we got to know ‘the real them’ -- better than we wanted, enough to conclude we didn't want to know more.”
Not surprisingly, a large number of blog postings addressing Tribble’s essay appeared around the web in the days following the essay’s appearance on the Chronicle’s website. While many bloggers criticized Tribble’s essay as hypocritical, close-minded, bigoted, or unrealistic, others reluctantly agreed that blogging, for academics, can be a very risky practice.
Sobriquet Magazine, a non-profit online publication, seeks intelligent, scholarly consideration of the impact blogging has had on the academic job market, the potential benefits and risks of academic blogging, and speculation on the future role academic blogs may have both in and out of the classroom.
Essays must follow the MLA style sheet.
All essays accepted for publication remain the property of the author.

Call for Papers (Copyright, a new open-access peer-reviewed journal)
Call for Papers (Copyright, a new open-access peer-reviewed journal)
URL: http://www.copyrightjournal.org/index.php/Copyright
URL for submissions: http://copyrightjournal.com//index.php/Copyright/about/submissions
Copyright, a new open-access, peer-reviewed journal led by a renowned editorial team, seeks papers on all aspects of copyright in the Internet age. The journal features an extremely rapid review and publication time while maintaining rigorous standards on the quality of work. Every effort will be made to have the initial reviewers' decision within two weeks of submission. The journal focuses on detailed research and case studies vetted by peer-review; opinion pieces and shorter communications are also invited and will be accepted at the editors' discression. Because the journal is open-access, the author retains the copyright to his or her works.
Copyright is structured to be a new type of journal, not just a place to publish ideas but a locus to generate them--vital in an area of academic interest largely composed of subdisciplines of other fields. For instance, while the majority of articles will still be published in the traditional fashion, a novel, collaborative approach has been implemented as well. Potential authors can simply begin contributing to such an article while the system tracks the individuals' contributions. The article is then submitted through the normal review process and, if accepted, authorship is assigned based on the tracked contributions as the last step of the review process.
Copyright is particularly interested in publishing interdisciplinary works and works not normally considered within the purview of such a journal, such as those covering social and political impact of copyright. The journal also encourages lay participation through community projects.
Copyright seeks articles on all topics related to copyright, including:
-Digital Rights Management
-Quantitative studies of the effects of legislation
-Scholarly communication and Open Access
-Peer-to-peer networks
-International copyright
-Collaborative authorship
-Blogs and other new media
-Collaborative filtering
-Copyright in developing nations
-Social implications of copyright
This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Indeed, high-quality papers relating to any aspect of copyright are welcome.
For guidelines on submissions, or to submit a paper, see the submissions page. The editors of Copyright invite you to submit papers, case studies, and opinion pieces. Registration to be notified of new issues is also available, as is guidance in using the collaborative systems in place.

MANAGING DIGITAL: INNOVATIONS, INITIATIVES & INSIGHTS
We now live, work and play digitally. Some of our key resources are created digitally while others, including physical libraries, books and, most importantly, people are not digital. Others are born digital. How do we reconcile, and manage, the digital and non-digital so that our work flows cohesively? How do we keep a personal touch in a virtual world? How do we plan for a successful, productive, future with many complex challenges and opportunities? Our conference theme, Managing Digital, focuses on digital initiatives and innovations in all types of information enterprises, tools and techniques for enhancing user-friendly digital work flows, mining and archiving "born digital" data, information discovery and visualization methods for dealing with large digital databases, supporting digital communities, and more. Join us at the most comprehensive conference for library and information professionals interested in technology to discover the insights, strategies and practices that will allow us to manage computers, libraries, digital information, and people in a cohesive and productive way.

The SCMS Caucus on Class ( http://terri1.home.mindspring.com) is sponsoring the following call for papers. Please send 150-word proposal, plus brief bibliography and bio statement, by August 20, 2005.
"Filling the Void: How Docs, Blogs, Zines, and Other Online Media Are Redefining Journalism"
While mainstream media grows more economically consolidated and politically conservative, social issue documentaries like Fahrenheit 9/11 and Supersize Me have achieved surprising box office success and received extensive critical attention. Other critical documentaries (e.g. Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War) have reached audiences through links to
progressive political organizations. This panel seeks papers exploring the ways in which contemporary documentaries-as well as other forms of alternative, online distribution (websites, blogs, online journals, etc.) and exhibition venues-are explicitly engaging political discourse. How has the "new journalism" influenced documentary technique and challenged that of corporate and mainstream media? How are online distribution and alternative exhibition venues related to the politics of such films/videos? Are there significant differences from political documentary strategies of the 1930s and 1960s?

NASIG 21st Annual Conference - Call for Proposals and Program Ideas
NASIG (North American Serials Interest Group) 21st Annual Conference - Call for Proposals and Program Ideas
"Mile High Views: Surveying the Serials Vista"
May 4-7, 2006
The Denver Marriott City Center
Denver, CO
http://www.nasig.org/public/2006proposals.html
The President of the North American Serials Interest Group will open the first session of the 21st annual conference on May 4, 2006 in Denver, Colorado. The Rocky Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to a bustling metropolitan area that enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year. Denver has a lively downtown area as the city is overflowing with colleges, parks, museums, sporting events and more. Denver attracted people to its frontier atmosphere, starting off as a rowdy frontier and mining town. Today it still attracts individuals of the same spirit and they have helped it grow into a modern and sophisticated city. Denver's magnetism will be the perfect environment as we survey the serials vista.
To this end, the 2006 Program Planning Committee (PPC) invites proposals and/or program ideas for pre-conference, vision, strategy and tactics sessions. Please keep in mind the following:
The PPC will review all submitted proposals for their content, timeliness, and relevance to the conference theme and reserves the right to combine, blend, or refocus proposals to maximize their relevance and to avoid duplication.
PPC will treat all submissions as suggestions and guideposts.
Time management issues and reimbursement guidelines generally limit each session to two speakers.
Proposals may be suggested as one type of session and/or format and ultimately be accepted as any one of the other types of sessions or formats; this decision is the purview of the PPC.
Vision and Strategy speakers are required to produce a written paper for the conference proceedings. Because NASIG publishes its conference proceedings, content needs to be unique for copyright purposes.
ALL presentations must be original and not previously presented at other conferences.
For more information about the North American Serials Interest Group, please see:
http://www.nasig.org
NASIG has a reimbursement policy for conference speakers whose organizations do not cover expenses. For more information about this policy, please see:

CFP: Technology and the Home
CFP: Technology and the Home
One could reasonably argue that without technology in its simplest form, homes would not exist. Technology has also made homes more comfortable, attractive, safer, and sturdier. In the pre-industrial past, the home’s relationship to technology was fairly straightforward: homes either
benefitted from changes in technology or they did not. Today, the relationships between the home and technology are complex and, at times, contradictory. For example, owners of a historic house will often research and revive outdated technologies in order to "correctly" restore a house to its former glory. Yet, they may incorporate modern decorative materials, lighting, heating, and appliances. On the other hand, the owner of a more recent home has an unprecedented range of environmentally friendly and fireproof materials, energy efficient appliances, and innovative furniture and furnishings from which to chose. In addition, some contemporary technologies that may seem benign, such as computers, RFID tags, smart
technology and the latest appliances, may have detrimental effects. Technology and the Home welcomes papers examining the home's positive and negative relationships to technology in any and all past, present, and future applications. There is no limit on the time frame nor upon the
methodology. Proposals from undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals welcome.
The 2005 conference is from November 4-6 in New Brunswick, NJ. Registration
fees apply. For more information, please go to

Rewiring "The Nation": The Place of Technology in American Studies
An American Quarterly Speical Issue
Edited by Carolyn de la Peña, University of california, Davis and Siva Vaidhyanathan, New York University
We invite submissions for a special issue of American Quarterly on "Technology and American Culture" to be published in September 2006. We challenge scholars working among an array of "technologies" and "Americas" to interrogate why we might study technology in a post-Eurocentric, post-national American studies. Join us in re-reading the narrative of U.S. technologies as we move beyond celebrations of exceptional tinkerers and a deterministic machine-driven sense of progress to a more complex understanding of the opportunities and responsibilities that befall a nation that interweaves its identities, labors, and creative cultures with its machines. We seek to put a variety of conversations in dialogue, including the present and historical, the national and international, the material and theoretical, and the critical and celebratory. We invite authors who employ a variety of methodologies to contribute their work. We are particularly interested in projects that explore the place of "American" technologies in an increasingly globalized, multi-polar, "high-technology" world and those that illuminate the relationship between technological positivism and dynamics of imperialism and war. Papers with hypertext elements and proposals for online components for papers are also encouraged
Essays should be no longer than 10,000 words, including notes. Please send essays to American Quarterly by September 1, 2005. Please send any questions about the call for papers to american.quarterly@usc.edu.

CFP: Building a Case for the Teaching Library: Approaches to the Assessment of Information Literacy Instruction
CFP: Building a Case for the Teaching Library: Approaches to the Assessment of Information Literacy Instruction
20 years ago, Carla Stoffle, Alan Guskin, and Joseph Boisse opened a landmark collection of essays appearing in New Directions for Teaching and Learning (no. 18, 1984) by describing the services and programs that defined the "teaching library." Over the past two decades, academic librarians have embraced the instructional role at the heart of their service in a teaching library by articulating standards for student learning in the area of information literacy; identifying a research agenda focused on moving theory and practice of information literacy instruction forward; and developing active partnerships with a variety of instructional programs across the college campus.
Many of us are committed to our role as teachers and to the idea that the academic library is an active participant in the development and delivery of instructional programs on campus, but how do we tell the story of the teaching library to our colleagues on campus and to our colleagues within the library profession?
Assessment of instructional services and of library-based instruction programs is critical to telling the story of the teaching library. Whether we are looking at student learning, instructional effectiveness, program development, or contribution to broadly-defined campus programs (e.g., First-Year-Experience), we can build no case for the teaching library without evidence, and we can gather no evidence without a well-defined plan for assessment.
Building on a forthcoming issue focused on assessment of reference services, Public Services Quarterly invites proposals for a special issue focused on the assessment of information literacy instruction. Essays may address:
assessment of student learning;
assessment of instructional performance by librarians (or library staff);
assessment of instruction programs or program development; or
other issues related to the assessment of instructional services programs in libraries.
An excellent set of suggestions for possible research in this area can be found in Section IV (“Assessment”) of the Association of College & Research Libraries’ “Research Agenda for Library Instruction and Information Literacy,” available at http://www.acrl.org/ala/acrlbucket/is/iscommittees/webpages/research/researchagendalibrary.htm
While the editors expect the issue to center around information literacy instruction in academic libraries, essays are also welcomed on assessment of instruction in other venues (e.g., assessment of how instructional services provided in a special library helped to advance organizational goals). Any library may be a teaching library and we welcome a diverse collection of proposals.
This special issue of Public Services Quarterly will be edited by Scott Walter, Assistant Dean of Libraries for Information & Instructional Services at the University of Kansas. Proposals of no more than two (2) pages should be submitted tono later than September 1, 2005. First drafts of completed essays will be due no later than March 1, 2006. Final drafts (following peer review) will be due no later than July 15, 2006. This issue is scheduled for publication in Spring 2007 and will also be issued as a monograph by Haworth Press.
For more information on Public Services Quarterly, please visit: http://www.haworthpress.com/web/PSQ/
Please direct any questions regarding the special issue or about ideas for proposals to Scott Walter at slwalter@ku.edu.

CFP: Re-Thinking Ephemera in the Classroom and Beyond
CFP: Re-Thinking Ephemera in the Classroom and Beyond
Seeking proposals for a volume of essays tentatively entitled Re-Thinking Ephemera in the Classroom and Beyond. The editors are looking for 5-6,000 word manuscripts to fill the roughly ten-essay volume. By presenting a wide range of definitions and theoretical perspectives as well as a variety of pedagogical strategies and approaches for teaching and exploring notions of early modern ephemera, contributors will seek to address the following kinds of questions.
· What do we mean by ephemera? (non-extant, performative/gestural/anecdotal, non-canonical, produced or circulated for singular or temporary use, other meanings)
· How can ephemeral matters/texts complicate discussions of plays/performance/cultural contexts?
· How can we problematize binaries between ephemera and canonical works?
· To what extent can ephemeral traces and remnants serve pedagogical ends? What kinds of justifications are there for incorporating ephemera in the classroom?
· What kinds of teaching strategies and lesson plans work and what kinds are less effective in the exploration of ephemeral matters?
The aim of Re-Thinking Ephemera is two-fold: (1) to work toward defining ephemera as a complex and multi-faceted critical category in terms of its literary, cultural, and historical significance and (2) to serve as a
handbook to provide pedagogical strategies and teaching tools for exploring ephemeral matters in the undergraduate and graduate level classroom.
Please submit proposals (preferably by email) of no more than 500 words by

CFP: Popular Entertainment and American Theater prior to 1900
CFP: Popular Entertainment and American Theater prior to 1900
A Special Issue of Comparative Drama
Living as we do in an age dominated by such mechanically reproducible media as television, cinema, and photography, we are often hard-pressed to recall that for most Americans prior to 1900, the most widely available and accessible medium of visual entertainment was theater (and theater-like productions). From Royall Tyler to Augustin Daly, from Uncle Tom?s Cabin to P. T. Barnum and Buffalo Bill, the late 18th- and 19th- centuries offered a stunning array of staged performances that not only offered idle amusement
but also crafted and reflected the very frameworks within which knowledge of the world could be organized or produced.
This special issue of Comparative Drama seeks to illuminate and explore the wide range of theatrical productions in the United States before 1900. Topics may include (but need not be limited to): popular melodrama; minstrelsy; touring performers and performances; Wild West shows, historical reenactments, and Indian plays; museums and traveling circuses; the rise of the Broadway impresario; the development of stage realism; technological innovation and stagecraft; race and gender as factors in popularity and/or
appeals to specific audience(s); humbugs and hoaxes; regionalism and theater; the relationship of theater with other arts (i.e., the contributions and/or representations crafted by painters, photographers, and novelists); social and cultural performance beyond the formal stage. Send completed essays (25 pages max., double-spaced) to:

Collaborations on Campus: Opportunities for New Partnerships
Collaborations on Campus: Opportunities for New Partnerships
WHEN: Friday, October 7, 2005 -- save the date!
The ninth annual October Conference for all New England academic librarians, sponsored by the Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries.
FIRST CALL FOR PRESENTERS!
We are seeking presenters for the Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries' ninth annual October Conference for New England Librarians! The topic this year is "Collaborations on Campus: Opportunities for New Partnerships." The Conference is scheduled for Friday, October 7, 2005. The day-long event will be held at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire (an easy two-hour drive from Boston, Springfield MA, and many other New England locations).
Working with others can bring fresh perspectives and new ideas--the whole really can be greater than the sum of its parts. Various units on our campuses also support faculty and students; when we share experience and insight, we are all enriched and enlivened.
We are seeking speakers to describe innovative collaborations they've developed with other campus entities. For example, have you and your IT department worked together to enhance your course management system? Do you plan your orientations with the first-year students office? Have you and a faculty member worked together to creatively incorporate library content into courses or the curriculum? Do you, with the international student office, provide special programs or training for international students? Do you work with your writing center to provide research training for the tutors?
Would you like to give an informal, brief presentation (30-45 minutes, including question/discussion time)? If so, please contact one of us (by telephone or email) by Friday, April 22. You don't have to have your presentation finished by then; you just need to be able to describe your presentation to us.
If you wouldn't give a presentation, yourself, but know of someone who might, we'd like to know that, too.
If you have any questions, please contact Pamela Bagley (Pamela.Bagley@dartmouth.edu, phone: 603-650-1894) or Karen Odato (Karen.Odato@dartmouth.edu, phone: 603-650-8562).
We have had between 70 and 120 participants at each of our eight previous October Conferences; we expect similar attendance this year.

"The Book": 2006 DeBartolo Conference on Eighteenth-Century Studies
THE TWENTIETH ANNUAL DEBARTOLO CONFERENCE ON
EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY STUDIES
THE BOOK
February 16-18, 2006 Tampa, Florida
With the 20th Anniversary in 2006 the DeBartolo Conference on Eighteenth-century Studies will reach the conclusion of its long, successful run. Our finale celebration will feature keynote lectures by distinguished scholars Robert C. Darnton, Margaret J.M. Ezell, and David D. Hall. Other honored participants include Paula Backscheider, Alistair Duckworth, J. Paul Hunter, Jessica Munns, James Raven, and Pat Rogers.
Papers are invited on THE BOOK. From l’histoire du livre to un objet d’art, this conference will examine current research on eighteenth-century books. What role does the book play in the development of civilized culture, in the enlightenment, in revolution? What do specific books mean within this historical context? How has print technology affected the meaning of the book? Is the scholarly community’s renewed interest in bibliography and print culture a sign of the changing value of the book in society today? The book serves as a site for the cross-section of many topical interests, obviously including physical bibliography and print history, print culture, scholarly editing, book collecting, library and museum history, and reading and reception. We are also interested in the wider implications of the topic, including influential books, anomalous books, illustrations and book-making, adaptations from books, technology and the future of the book, alternatives to the book, literacy, literary studies, education through books, books as inheritance, censorship, the cultural power of books, codification of law as book, and the various ways in which these histories overlap. We want to represent a broad range of scholarship and to stimulate conversation on the figurative and literal, historical and aesthetic, practical and philosophical matters of the book.
The DeBartolo Conference is devoted to the interdisciplinary treatment of a theme in eighteenth-century studies. It follows a single-session, discussion-oriented format; consequently we are interested in scholars who are willing to share their research and to participate in the ongoing discussion. We invite single presentation abstracts or complete panels with individual abstracts for each paper. Abstracts should be approximately 500 words in length; in addition to the abstract, we ask that individuals include the following: an e-mail address, as well as a snail mail address, at which they may be reached during the fall of 2005; any expected audio-visual needs (including special software needs); and academic affiliation (if applicable). In honor of the anniversary, revised essays from the conference may be considered for publication in a volume.

CFP: Poetry in Public Culture Panel
CFP: Poetry in Public Culture Panel
As part of the conference:
Giving Attention: Writers, Scholars, Theorists
University of Denver (10/7/05 through 10/9/05)
Plenary speakers: Anne Carson and Marjorie Perloff
Proposals are invited for papers addressing the topic of Poetry in Public Culture. How is poetry reaching popular audiences, and what are the implications of such popularity?

Has poetry's recent presence in mainstream media and performance venues changed how we understand the educational, political, aesthetic, or social
functions of verse?
Although proposals about all historical periods will be considered, it is anticipated that this panel will primarily focus on contemporary poetry. Papers that address the intersection between creative writing and
criticism are especially welcomed.
Topics may include but are not limited to:
* Poetry in public spaces (Poetry in motion, billboards, and guerilla poetry projects)
* The role of the poet-critic in public culture
* Poetry and journalism
* Performance and poetry in public spaces (poetry slams, open mics, and other readings)
* Poetry in contemporary media (film, TV, video, audio)
* Poetry and Habermas's public sphere
* The spoken word movement and public culture
* Poetry in youth outreach programs
* Public acts of poetry's criticism or appreciation
Send a 250-word abstract via e-mail by Wednesday, April 27 to Susan
Somers-Willett, susansw@uiuc.edu; please note any audio-visual equipment
needs in your proposal.
