Conference Focus
The theme for JCDL 2012 is #sharing #linking #using
#preserving. Digital libraries, under a variety of names and modalities, are
often part of the every day web experience. The challenge is how digital
libraries can enhance user experience through providing stability in changing
information environment, breaking down information silos, integrating into
accepted practices of the web, and providing a range of access and services to
resources across the web, both to human and machine users.
The intended community for this conference includes those
interested in all aspects of digital libraries such as infrastructure;
institutions; metadata; content; services; digital preservation; system design;
scientific data management; workflows; implementation; interface design;
human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; usability evaluation;
collection development; intellectual property; privacy; electronic publishing;
document genres; multimedia; social, institutional, and policy issues; user
communities; and associated theoretical topics. JCDL welcomes submissions in
these areas, and submissions associated with the JCDL 2012 theme of social
media influenced themes of linking, sharing, usage, and preservation are
particularly welcome. The conference sessions, workshops and tutorials will
cover all these aspects.
Participation is sought from all parts of the world and
from the full range of established and emerging disciplines and professions
including computer science, information science, web science, data science,
librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum studies
and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences, education and
humanities. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and others are
invited to participate.
JCDL 2012 will be held in Washington DC on the campus of
the George Washington University. The program is organized by an international
committee of scholars and leaders in the digital libraries field and attendance
is expected to include several hundreds of researchers, practitioners,
managers, and students.
JCDL 2012 invites submissions of papers and proposals for
posters, demonstrations, tutorials, and workshops that will make the conference
an exciting and creative event to attend. As always, the conference welcomes
contributions from all the fields that intersect to enable digital libraries.

Paper Submissions
Paper authors may choose between two formats: Full papers
and short papers. Both formats will be included in the proceedings and will be
presented at the conference. Both formats will be rigorously peer reviewed.
Complete papers are required--abstracts and incomplete papers will not be
reviewed.
Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have
reached an important milestone. Short papers will highlight efforts that might
be in an early stage, but are important for the community to be made aware of.
Short papers can also present theories or systems that can be described
concisely in the limited space.
Full papers must not exceed 10 pages. Short papers are
limited to at most 4 pages. All papers must be original contributions. The
material must therefore not have been previously published or be under review
for publication elsewhere. All contributions must be written in English and
must follow the ACM http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
formatting guidelines. Papers are to be submitted via the conference's
EasyChair submission page: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012
All accepted papers will be published by ACM as
conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM
and IEEE digital libraries.
Poster and Demonstration Submissions
Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in
an informal, interactive manner. Poster proposals should consist of a title,
extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not
exceed 2 pages. Proposals must follow the conference's formatting guidelines
and are to be submitted via the conference's EasyChair submission page: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012.
Accepted posters will be displayed at the conference and may include additional
materials, space permitting. Abstracts of posters will appear in the
proceedings.
Demonstrations showcase innovative digital libraries
technology and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your
colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Demonstration proposals should consist
of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors and
should not exceed 2 pages. Proposals must follow the conference's formatting
guidelines and are to be submitted via the conference's EasyChair submission
page: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012.
Abstracts of demonstrations will appear in the proceedings.
Panels and Invited Briefings
Panels will complement the refereed portions of the
program with lively discussions of controversial and cutting-edge issues that
are not addressed by other program elements. Invited briefings will explain a
topic of interest to those building digital libraries - they can be thought of
as being mini-tutorials. We are not soliciting formal proposals for panels or
invited briefings, but if you have an idea for one that you'd like to hear,
please send email directly to the panels/briefings chairs (Noha Adly adly@bibalex.org and Haowei Hsieh haowei-hsieh@uiowa.edu ).
Tutorial Submissions
Tutorials provide an opportunity to offer in-depth
education on a topic or solution relevant to research or practice in digital
libraries. They should address a single topic in detail over either a half-day
or a full day. They are not intended to be venues for commercial product
training. Experts who are interested in engaging members of the community who
may not be familiar with a relevant set of technologies or concepts should plan
their tutorials to cover the topic or solution to a level that attendees will
have sufficient knowledge to follow and further pursue the material beyond the
tutorial. Leaders of tutorial sessions will be expected to take an active role
in publicizing and recruiting attendees for their sessions.
Tutorial proposals should include: a tutorial title; an
abstract (1-2 paragraphs, to be used in conference programs); a description or
topical outline of tutorial (1-2 paragraphs, to be used for evaluation);
duration (half- or full-day); expected number of participants; target audience,
including level of experience (introductory, intermediate, advanced); learning
objectives; a brief biographical sketch of the presenter(s); and contact
information for the presenter(s).
Tutorial proposals are to be submitted in electronic form
via the conference's EasyChair submission page: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012.
Workshop Submissions
Workshops are intended to draw together communities of
interest - both those in established communities and also those interested in
discussion and exploration of a new or emerging issue. They can range in format
from formal, perhaps centering on presentation of refereed papers, to informal,
perhaps centering on an extended round-table discussions among the selected
participants.
Submissions should include: a workshop title and short
description; a statement of objectives for the workshop; a topical outline for
the workshop; identification of the expected audience and expected number of
attendees; a description of the planned format and duration (half-day,
full-day, or one and a half day); information about how the attendees will be
identified, notified of the workshop, and, if necessary, selected from among
applicants; as well as contact and biographical information about the
organizers. Finally, if a workshop has been held previously, information about
the earlier sessions should be provided -- dates, locations, outcomes,
attendance, etc.
Workshop proposals are to be submitted in electronic form
via The conference's EasyChair submission
page:http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012.
Doctoral Consortium
The Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students
from all over the world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work
(i.e., the consortium is not intended for those who are finished or nearly
finished with their dissertation). The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to
help students with their thesis and research plans by providing feedback and
general advice on using the research environment in a constructive and
international atmosphere.
Students interested in participating in the Doctoral
Consortium should submit an extended abstract describing their digital library
research. Submissions relating to any aspect of digital library research,
development, and evaluation are welcomed, including: technical advances, usage
and impact studies, policy analyses, social and institutional implications,
theoretical contributions, interaction and design advances, and innovative
applications in the sciences, humanities, and education.
Workshop proposals are to be submitted via the
conference's EasyChair submission page: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2012
Important notes for all Submissions
All contributions must be submitted in electronic form
via the JCDL 2012 submission Web page, following ACM http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
format guidelines and using the ACM template. Please submit all papers in PDF
format.

Call for papers for WLIC 2012 Helsinki: Empowering staff through preservation training!
WLIC 2012 Helsinki Preservation and Conservation Section session with Education and Training
The preservation
of the cultural heritage is
an ongoing responsibility for libraries and archives. Ensuring that staff understand their role and
are trained to
handle preservation issues is an integral component of library
and archives
operations. It begins
when an item
is selected and acquired for the collection, and plays an
ongoing role in
handling, storage, display and lending.
Come share your successful experiences in training your
staff to contribute
to a comprehensive preservation program for your collections.
Have you set up
a training plan for your staff
covering any or all of the following topics? We would like to
showcase
practical examples of best practices that would appeal to an
audience of
librarians and archivists from around the world with varied
backgrounds and
resources.
Subjects to be covered are:
Nature of
materials: how they are manufactured
and why they deteriorate
How to minimize
deterioration
Environmental
and storage guidelines
Care and
handling
Disaster
prevention and recovery
This will be a
multiple speaker
presentations. Each speaker will present for 20 minutes.

ALA 2012 Annual Conference CALL FOR BRASS FORUM SPEAKERS on Social Media
ALA 2012 Annual Conference CALL FOR BRASS FORUM SPEAKERS on Social Media
The Business Reference in Academic Libraries Committee of RUSA (a division of ALA) needs your help. We are seeking panelists for our forum during the 2012 annual ALA conference. The topic of our forum is "Using Social Media to Promote Business Librarians and Resources." We are specifically looking for four librarians who have used social media to answer detailed or niche questions and not the basic business questions generally covered by library instruction sessions. Each panelist will speak for approximately 15 minutes. We are looking for librarians from any type of library setting, including academic, public, or special (see the abstract below for more details on the forum topic). Unfortunately we are not able to offer any type of financial compensation. The forum will be held on Saturday, June 23 from 1:30-2:30. Thank you for your consideration.
If you (or anyone you know) would be interested in serving as a panelist for our forum, please let us know by December 1.
Thank you,
Brass Forum Planning Subcommittee
Please send emails to: Laurie.Bridges@oregonstate.edu
Forum Topic: Using Social Media to Promote Business Librarians and Resources
Increase your contact with patrons by using social media to harvest the “Long Tail” of questions – those detailed or niche questions that together total more than general instruction. Businesses have used the theory of the long tail to increase sales and improve customer satisfaction by catering to specific preferences. Social media allows you to address these needs through its flexibility and accessibility. Make sure you are using social media with the long tail in mind.

CFP: ADMINISTRATIVE THEORY & PRAXIS (Understanding Nonprofits)
CFP: ADMINISTRATIVE THEORY & PRAXIS (Understanding Nonprofits)
Symposium: Understanding Nonprofits, Volunteerism and Philanthropy through a Critical Perspective
To appear in the March 2013 (Volume 35, 1) issue
In an environment of government cutbacks and privatization, nonprofits, volunteerism and philanthropy are increasingly important to public administration and governance in the United States and around the world. While the literature on these institutions has grown exponentially over the past several decades, relatively few scholars have taken critical approaches to understanding and assessing their impact. Critical in this context means, for example, exploring the dialectic of an area or idea, examining relationships that involve inequities and power, critiquing ideologies, and/or using critical methodological approaches. Papers might address such areas as:
· How evaluation, accountability, capacity building or professional management discourses have affected nonprofit organizations, their volunteers, or clients.
· Who loses and benefits from state and federal charitable tax incentive policies.
· The societal or social policy implications of trends such as voluntourism, cause-related marketing, celebrity philanthropy, or collaborative philanthropy.
· Donors’ or foundations’ relationships with funding recipients or their impact on social policy.
The coordinator of this symposium is Dr. Angela M. Eikenberry, University of Nebraska at Omaha. Proposals should be submitted via email to: aeikenberry@unomaha.edu and to the editor of ATP (Larry Luton, lluton@ewu.edu) no later than January 8, 2012 and should include a working title and a 1-page abstract in addition to organizational affiliation and full contact information for the author(s). An invitation to participate in the symposium does not guarantee publication. Full papers should not exceed 9,000 words and will be double-blind peer reviewed. Initial papers will be due June 1, 2012 and final manuscripts will be due October 15, 2012.
