Center for the Study of Information and Religion Call for Papers
Center for the Study of Information and Religion Call for Papers
The Center for the Study of Information and Religion in Kent State's School of Library and Information Science welcomes abstracts for consideration for its first annual Conference on Information and Religion, scheduled for May 20, 2011, at Kent State University. The conference theme is Research Frontiers in the Study of Information and Religion. Dr. Brenda Dervin, Professor of Communication and Joan N. Huber Fellow in Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Ohio State University, will present the keynote address on "Spiritual Knowledge."
URL: http://www.slis.kent.edu/content/view/349/111/
Sixteenth- through eighteenth-century definitions of “information,” as found in the Oxford English Dictionary, spoke of “the shaping of the mind or character; communication of instructive knowledge” and linked such shaping to information about the conduct of life and the way to God and a reclaiming of oneself. These early definitions brought together the concepts of information and religion.
Various disciplines have studied religion. At the Center for the Study of Information and Religion (CSIR), an interdisciplinary approach is being used to facilitate research that is focused on the various institutions and agents of religion and their effect on social knowledge through the use, dissemination, and diffusion of information. The goals of the CSIR are (1) to investigate the importance of information in the religious world; (2) to understand the relationship between the information-seeking behavior of clergy and the body of knowledge that exists to serve their information needs; and (3) to advance our understanding of the role of information in religious practice.
CSIR will host the First Annual Conference on Information and Religion in May 2011. This call for papers seeks original contributions in all areas related to information and religion. The conference theme invites participants to share their work in a variety of areas that might be called “frontiers,” where scholars are exploring the intersections of religion and information. Topics that might be addressed include but are not limited to the following:
1. The information-seeking behavior of clergy;
2. The role of the sermon as an influential communication medium in society;
3. The utilization of multimedia in sermon delivery;
4. Information in its application to local congregations as communities of practice;
5. Faith and many types of intelligence (e.g., emotional intelligence);
6. Information, entropy (understood as the rate of transfer of a message), and belief;
7. Case studies of pastors, priests, rabbis, imans, and other religious leaders to explore the role of information in the sermon preparation task;
8. Longitudinal study of religious leaders engaged in congregational ministries to study changes in the sermon preparation task over the course of their careers, the role of information in the development of new congregations or the growth of established ones;
9. Intersections of interests in the study of information and religion, where different disciplines might find it worthwhile to collaborate in research.
Prospective participants are encouraged to submit abstracts that report on recent research and scholarship. Contributions to this call for papers should not have been previously published. There are no restrictions on research methodology.
Instructions for Submitting Refereed Paper Extended Abstracts:
* The abstract should be no longer than 250 words (including research question, methods, results).
* Include the title of the paper, names, affiliations, and contact information of the authors (with one author to be designated as the contact for the paper).
* Submit abstracts in PDF or WORD format by Dec. 31, 2010, to Dr. Rosemary DuMont (see link above).
* Notification of Acceptance: February 1, 2011
Papers accepted for presentation at the conference are eligible for consideration for the ARIR (Annual Review of Information & Religion). Details regarding submission of full papers will be given to those whose abstracts are accepted for conference presentation.

Call for Papers: Special Issue of the Journal of the Medical Library Association on Applying Technologies in Medical Libraries
Call for Papers: Special Issue of the Journal of the Medical Library Association on Applying Technologies in Medical Libraries
Using technology to improve access to information has long been integral to medical and health sciences libraries. However, today’s environment of rapidly changing software and hardware, social networking tools, and increasingly tiny and mobile devices presents special challenges for health sciences libraries. To help readers to better understand and manage this environment, the Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) is planning to devote an upcoming issue to papers that help in understanding how health sciences libraries can use technologies to improve delivery of, and access to, medical and health sciences information.
JMLA particularly welcomes submission of case studies that describe how a particular institution used technology to solve a common problem confronting our libraries, as well as research papers that use quantitative or qualitative methodologies to evaluate the use of technology in health sciences libraries, and state-of-the-art reviews that look at some aspect of this issue. Papers should follow the guidelines on JMLA’s Information for Authors website at www.mlanet.org/publications/jmla/jmlainfo.html. ln addition to describing the application used, case studies should include a discussion of alternatives considered, data that supports an evaluation of the projects’ success in meeting stated goals, and a section on “lessons learned” that will aid other libraries who may be considering a similar application.
To appear in this issue, scheduled for January 2012, papers should be received no later than May 10, 2011. If you would like to discuss an idea for a paper, please contact Susan Starr, Editor, JMLA at jmlaeditorbox@gmail.com.

CFP: RDA @ Your Library: An Amigos Online Event
CFP: RDA @ Your Library: An Amigos Online Event
When: 9:00am- 4:00pm, Friday, February 4, 2011
Where: Amigos Online Classroom
Website: http://rda.amigos.org/
Do you have something to say about RDA? Amigos Library Services presents RDA @ Your Library, an online conference scheduled for February 4, 2011. We are accepting proposals for speakers, http://rda.amigos.org/node/4. Proposals are due no later than 5:00 PM central standard time on
September 30, 2010.
RDA @ Your Library
Resource Description and Access (RDA) was released June 23, 2010. It was designed to replace the existing Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd Edition (AACR2). Prior to implantation, the USA National Libraries (Library of Congress, National Library of Medicine, and the National Agriculture Library) are testing RDA to assure the operational, technical, and economic feasibility of RDA. See more on the testing
process and partnerships on the Library of Congress website http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/RDAtest/rdatest.html.
The Amigos Library Services online RDA @ Your Library conference will cover a variety of topics to ensure a balanced conference. Topics include RDA background/overview (FRBR and FRAD concepts), AACR2 to RDA, RDA as Data (including a background on the concept of changes needed to
library metadata) as well as why RDA might not be the right choice for libraries. Confirmed speakers include Barbara Tillett, Michael Gorman, Diane Hillmann, Karen Coyle, John Attig, Robert Maxwell, J. McRee Elrod, James Weinheimer.
Additionally, various Integrated Library Systems vendors will present on their intentions towards RDA (representatives from III, VTLS and Equinox are confirmed).

RDA @ Your Library
Resource Description and Access (RDA) was released June 23, 2010. It was designed to replace the existing Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd Edition (AACR2). Prior to implantation, the USA National Libraries (Library of Congress, National Library of Medicine, and the National Agriculture Library) are testing RDA to assure the operational, technical, and economic feasibility of RDA. See more on the testing
process and partnerships on the Library of Congress website http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/RDAtest/rdatest.html.
The Amigos Library Services online RDA @ Your Library conference will cover a variety of topics to ensure a balanced conference. Topics include RDA background/overview (FRBR and FRAD concepts), AACR2 to RDA, RDA as Data (including a background on the concept of changes needed to
library metadata) as well as why RDA might not be the right choice for libraries. Confirmed speakers include Barbara Tillett, Michael Gorman, Diane Hillmann, Karen Coyle, John Attig, Robert Maxwell, J. McRee Elrod, James Weinheimer.
Additionally, various Integrated Library Systems vendors will present on their intentions towards RDA (representatives from III, VTLS and Equinox are confirmed). Troy Linker with ALA Publishing will present on AACR2 to RDA from the co-publishers perspective. Linda Gabel with OCLC will discuss OCLC Contract Cataloging Department's experiences as one of the test sites and how OCLC itself is dealing with RDA.

CFP: Books in Browsers (Internet Arcive Meeting, October, 2010)
CFP: Books in Browsers (Internet Arcive Meeting, October, 2010)
The Internet Archive is planning a meeting in San Francisco on Thu. Oct 21 - Fri. Oct 22 tentatively titled "Books in Browsers".
The meeting will cover achievements in moving books to the web, including developments in OPDS Catalogs, vending and lending, and the design and effective deployment of ebooks and reading experiences for web environments. The portability of books and bookshelves, reader application interoperability, storage and transmission security (including encryption and caching), the legal and user consequences of book licensing vs purchase, and ramifications for user privacy and data protection are viable angles.
Currently, I anticipate that we will build a technical track, and an uber issues track, with cojoined sessions among topics that are conceptually early or rapidly evolving.
The meeting has the support of O'Reilly Media; additional sponsors may be named.
The program committee includes individuals experienced in the gamut of these issues. We are honored to have the engagement of the following (in random order):
Hugh McGuire / Bookoven
Keith Fahlgren / Ibis Reader
Pam Samuelson / UC Berkeley (BCLT)
Tom Garnett / Smithsonian Institution (BHL)
Mary Lou Jepson / Pixel Qi
Hadrien Gardeur / Feedbooks
Kat Meyer / O'Reilly Media
Daihei Shiohama / Voyager Japan
I am interested in both specific proposals and general interest in attendance, which may be restricted for space. The meeting will be held in San Francisco at the Internet Archive offices.
Please write to me with proposals.
Thanks -

CFP: Layers of Reality: Extending Library Services and Resources through QR Codes and Augmented Reality (ALA Annual)
CFP: Layers of Reality: Extending Library Services and Resources through QR Codes and Augmented Reality (ALA Annual)
Has your library used QR Codes, or other Augmented reality (AR) tools in exciting and innovative ways? Are you looking for an opportunity to present at ALA?
The RUSA MARS Hot Topics in Electronic Reference Discussion Group seeks panelists for its upcoming program at ALA Midwinter 2010: “Layers of Reality: Extending Library Services and Resources through
QR Codes and Augmented Reality.” With simple and often free technologies, QR codes may be created and added to posters, signage, and other promotional literature. These embedded codes, which often appear to be barcodes (or oddly shaped icons), may be processed by camera phones and PDAs to direct the user to online information. Augmented reality takes existing visual or video information and adds additional layers of computer graphics, pattern recognition, and other visual effects.
We’re looking for presenters who have used these new and emerging tools to bridge the gap between the print and digital environments, as well as any operational or purely functional applications. The discussion could also be expanded to look at the use of these technologies for marketing and outreach programs. Our session will focus on presenting these tools, their present and future applications, and discussing their possible uses for improving reference service. Presentations are informal and are intended to jumpstart discussion
among the attendees. The discussion will be held Saturday, January 8th, 2011 at the ALA Midwinter conference in San Diego, CA. If you are interested in serving as a panelist, please contact Matt Torrence
(torrence@usf.edu) with a short (<400 words) summary or proposal by November 15th, 2010. We’re flexible on the final number for our panel, but expect 3-4 speakers with 15-20 minutes each.

CFP: Journal of Map & Geography Libraries
URL: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=1542-0353&linktype=44
The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is dedicated to gathering and sharing information regarding geospatial information in any format as it pertains to its collection, preservation, collocation, distribution and use. We are pleased to announce that in 2011, the journal is expanding to three issues per volume.
We welcome papers from librarians, cartographers, historians, geographers, or anyone who has a role in the lifespan of geospatial information (maps, atlases, globes, GIS, datasets, geospatial standards, cataloging/metadata, etc.). The content broadly addresses the role of libraries, however, related topics associated geospatial information are also appropriate.
As stated in our "Aims and Scope" > "The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is where you'll find the most up-to-date international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and information. In this peer-reviewed forum---enhanced with full color illustrations---professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography and cartographic materials share their findings and experiences with their colleagues around the world."
All manuscripts are put through a rigorous double-blind review by a prestigious international review board. Once published, papers are widely available through Taylor & Francis' informaworld database and
other outlets.
We look forward to receiving inquiries and submissions from around the globe!

School Libraries as Place, School Libraries as Space
January 2011 (Volume 17, Number 1)
Editors: Nancy Everhart and Marcia Mardis
School Libraries Worldwide is the official professional and research journal of the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL). It is published twice yearly, in January and July and is available online and through select periodical databases. School Libraries Worldwide publishes new works of current research and scholarship in school librarianship. Each issue contains exceptional papers relating to the issue theme and a selection of papers representing outstanding research on any aspect of school librarianship. All papers are double-blind peer reviewed and adhere to the highest editorial standards.
This issue of School Libraries Worldwide will explore the theme School Libraries as Place, School Libraries as Space. Yi-Fu Tuan wrote in Space and place: The perspective of experience (2001), "the former [place] provides the fixity necessary for security and the latter [space] the opportunity for movement and exploration." This definition is our point of departure, not our fixed interpretation. We encourage papers that both affirm and challenge definitions of space and place.
This issue will expand the opportunities for researchers to share their work relating to space and place in school libraries and their physical, virtual, philosophical, and social presences.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
· School libraries as places and spaces for knowledge sharing and learning in virtual and physical settings;
· School libraries as meeting places fostering community;
· Changing role of school libraries throughout history;
· School library architecture and school library layout refurbishment;
· School libraries as third places between classroom and home, home and public library, etc.;
· School libraries as meeting places across cultural, social, professional and ethnic boundaries;
· The interplay between school libraries and digital libraries or virtual learning environments.
School library researchers are invited to submit papers reporting their own original research that has not been published elsewhere. Authors who wish to know more about the issue theme should contact the editors to discuss possibilities.
School Libraries Worldwide also welcomes submissions of excellent research on any topic relating to school librarianship for the open portion of the journal.
Deadline for submissions of full papers: September 15, 2010.
Authors interested in contributing to this issue should contact the editors, Marcia Mardis and Nancy Everhart at slw@cci.fsu.edu.
Submission guidelines are available online at: http://www.iasl-online.org/pubs/slw/slw_guidecontrib.html
