Estimados compañeros,

Os recordamos que el plazo para la admisión de originales para el I PREMIO
DE ENSAYO SEDIC "TERESA ANDRÉS" 2009 finaliza el 15 de diciembre de 2009

La obra ganadora será publicada por Ediciones Trea, además de estar dotado
el premio de un importe en metálico de 3.000 euros.

Saludos,
Comité organizador del Premio
SEDIC

PREMIO DE ENSAYO SEDIC"TERESA ANDRÉS" 2009
¡Participa! y gana 3.000 euros y la publicación del ensayo en ediciones TREA

SEDIC convoca, por primera vez y con afán de continuidad, el Premio de
Ensayo "Teresa Andrés". La convocatoria tiene una doble intención; en primer
lugar contribuir a cubrir un vacío: el de la escasa implicación de las
asociaciones profesionales en la creación de pensamiento, imprescindible
para delinear un sueño estratégico que nos guíe hacia el futuro; en segundo
lugar respaldar el fortalecimiento de la profesión promoviendo el
conocimiento de las personas que nos precedieron y que desarrollaron su
actividad comprometidos con la sociedad. "Nos enterró el olvido", aquella
terrible sentencia expresada por Teresa Andrés en su día, obliga a los
profesionales del siglo XXI a rendirles homenaje y resarcir su memoria, de
ahí que este premio haya tomado su nombre.

Los profesionales expertos en tecnologías relacionadas con la información
nos movemos en un ámbito social que está en la primera línea de interacción
con el público y trabajamos en un entorno formativo y laboral en continua
transformación. Además, al ser los garantes del acceso al patrimonio
cultural e histórico de la humanidad, nos enfrentamos a situaciones
delicadas que abarcan multitud de aspectos, desde los puramente técnicos a
los emocionales.

Las tareas diarias nos mantienen, en muchos casos, fuera de la reflexión y
deseamos que este premio sirva de acicate para aquellos que quieran
detenerse a mirar con perspectiva su propio trabajo y su labor en la
sociedad actual.

BASES DE LA CONVOCATORIA
1.- Podrán participar en este premio de ensayo personas -o colectivos- de
cualquier nacionalidad, que presenten una obra inédita,  escrita en
castellano y no premiada anteriormente. No podrán concurrir al premio
integrantes del personal de Ediciones Trea y de SEDIC, ni miembros de la
Junta Directiva de SEDIC.
2.- Las obras presentadas versarán sobre asuntos relacionados con los
servicios de información, los profesionales que los atienden y su papel en
la sociedad pasada, presente y futura.  En particular, las obras deberán
estar relacionadas con una (o varias) de las siguientes grandes líneas: la
deontología y la ética profesional; la adaptación de profesionales y
servicios a las nuevas realidades y demandas sociales, con acento en los
servicios a minorías y sectores desfavorecidos de la sociedad; el papel de
los profesionales en el fomento de la lectura, el acceso igualitario a la
información y la defensa de una ciudadanía informada en pro de una sociedad
más justa y democrática; la labor de los profesionales de la información en
la preservación de la memoria de los pueblos y el fomento de la difusión del
patrimonio cultural español; el profesional de la información desde una
perspectiva histórica; el valor y el impacto socio-económico de los centros
de información, archivos y bibliotecas; y, por último, la visión del
profesional de la información en sociedad, nuevas tecnologías, nuevas
herramientas, nuevos públicos y perspectivas de futuro.

76th IFLA General Conference & Council, Gothenburg, Sweden ,

August 10-15, 2010

IFLA EDUCATION AND TRAINING SECTION – Open session

Call for papers

New digital directions and library education:  sustaining library education  programs.

 

Colleagues from around the world are invited to submit an abstract for consideration for the SET Open Session.  

 

The IFLA Section for Education and Training (SET) seeks papers for its Open Session on the topic New  digital  directions and library education: sustaining library education  programs. This topic has been chosen in accordance with the main theme of the conference, Open access to knowledge: promoting sustainable progress.  A separate call for papers has been issued for the Section’s satellite session and for a joint SET session with the IFLA E-learning special interest group on Understanding the value of ePortfolios to reflect on and present learning and professional development. 

 

We are particularly keen to have papers and perspectives from LIS educators, practitioners and students and from a wide range of library sectors (e.g. public, academic, school, special).  Papers must be original and could cover issues like:  

  • The impact of new information technologies : reconceptualizing, and/or globalizing library education?
  • Library education in iSchools
  • Pedagogy for online/virtual library education and training
  • Employability of graduates in the digital library world.
  • Interdisciplinarity, synergies and/or convergences of digital archives, libraries and museums in library education.

 

Language of the session: The paper should be in one of the IFLA official languages. It is hoped that simultaneous interpretation will be available for this session, but we strongly recommend that the presentation slides are in English, even if the presentation is delivered in one of the other official languages.

 

Important dates and information:  Proposals for papers must be submitted by: 31 December  2009. The proposal should clearly indicate the session it is for and include a title, an abstract of no more than 300 words, plus a brief speaker biography. All proposals will be evaluated by a refereeing committee representing the IFLA Section of Education and Training: Dr. Gillian Hallam, Professor S.B. Ghosh, Mouna Benslimane, Mai Poldaas, Chihfeng Lin, Dr. Kerry Smith.  Please email your proposals to: Dr Kerry Smith (Australia),

76th IFLA General Conference & Council, Gothenburg, Sweden, August 10-15, 2010   

 

IFLA E-learning Special Interest Group (SIG) – Open session

 

Call for papers 

Understanding the value of ePortfolios to reflect on and present learning and professional developement

 

 

The IFLA E-learning SIG invites papers for its Open Session on the topic Understanding the value of ePortfolios to reflect on and present learning and professional development.   The program will relate to the main theme of the conference, Open access to knowledge: promoting sustainable progress, at the level of the individual LIS professional or paraprofessional, encompassing the communication of self-knowledge and career progress.

 

There is a separate call for papers for the Section for Education and Training (SET) Open Session on the topic of New digital directions and library education: sustaining library education programs.

 

The theme of the session:

The term ‘ePortfolio’ refers to an electronically stored collection, or archive, of a person’s experiences, achievements and artefacts, together with their reflections on learning. The content and artefacts of the ePortfolio should have a purpose, for example to demonstrate a skill, an attribute, or learning acquired from experience.

 

Digital portfolios, or ePortfolios, are being introduced into a number of disciplines to support professional accreditation and professional development.  In some countries, students in schools, colleges and universities are encouraged to develop an ePortfolio to record and reflect on their learning and on their employability skills.  In the workforce, with the support of managers and mentors, individuals may develop an ePortfolio to focus on career planning, professional development and performance review activities, enabling them to establish a rich portfolio of reflective evidence on their own learning and development over a period of time.  ePortfolios can also play an important role in presenting evidence to support the recognition of prior learning.

 

This Open Session will explore the use of ePortfolios in the LIS sector.

 

We are keen to have papers that present the diverse perspectives of LIS practitioners, students and graduates, educators, as well as representatives of professional associations who have been involved with ePortfolio practice in the LIS sector.  This may be in formal or informal learning contexts or in the workplace. Papers must be original and may cover both research and practice issues in areas such as:

 

  • The personal use of ePortfolios by LIS students (both professional and paraprofessional)
  • The value of ePortfolios to recent graduates entering the workforce
  • The experiences of LIS educators working with students in the areas of skills development, professional placements and fieldwork
  • Employer perspectives, eg human resource managers and/or line managers with responsibility for staff development and performance planning and review
  • The use of ePortfolios to support mentoring, potentially through an association’s mentoring program for members or an internal mentoring program in libraries

Language of the session:

The paper should be in one of the IFLA official languages. As simultaneous interpretation is not guaranteed for this Open Session, it is strongly recommended that the presentation slides are in English, even if the presentation is delivered in one of the other official languages.

 

Important dates and information: 

Proposals for papers must be submitted by: 31 December 2009.
Proposals should be sent to Associate Professor Gillian Hallam, Convenor of the E-learning SIG g.hallam@...

 

The proposal should clearly indicate:

 

  • Title of proposed presentation
  • Outline of the proposed presentation (no more than 300 words)
  • Name(s) of presenter(s)
  • Position or title of presenter(s)
  • Presenter(s) employer or affiliated institution
  • E-mail address
  • Telephone/fax numbers
  • Short biographical statement regarding the presenter/s

All proposals will be evaluated by a refereeing committee representing the IFLA E-learning SIG. 

 

Successful candidates will be notified by 28 February 2010 and must submit the full paper by 30 May 2010 to allow time for the review of papers and preparation of translations.  Details on the format and length of the final paper will be emailed to the successful candidates.

 

At least one of the paper's authors must undertake to be present to deliver a summary of the paper during the E-learning SIG Open Session in Gothenburg. 

 

Please note:

The E-learning SIG has no funds to assist prospective authors: abstracts should only be submitted on the understanding that the expenses of attending the Gothenburg conference (including travel, accommodation, expenses and conference fees) will be the responsibility of the author(s)/presenter(s) of accepted papers.

Building strong communities: unleashing the potential of libraries to build community capacity, engagement and identity

 

Call for papers

The Public Libraries Section in collaboration with The Regional Library Scania, Malmö City Library and The Swedish Arts Council are organizing a satellite meeting in Malmo, Sweden August 7 – 10, 2010. The event will precede the annual World Library and Information Congress: 76th IFLA General Conference and Assembly in Gothenburg 10-15 August.

 

Theme

The general theme of the conference is libraries role in building strong communities: unleashing the potential of libraries to build community capacity, engagement and identity

 

Background

Increasingly libraries, especially public libraries, are recognised as having a valuable role to play in community development through building capacity, enabling social engagement and fostering a sense of identity within the communities they serve. Through libraries individuals and groups increase their skills and confidence, develop their sense of identity and belonging, participate in first culture retention, and access the memories that define who we are. Libraries take action to offer equity of opportunity for all. They do this through their services, collections, programmes and places. These activities support economic, cultural and social well-being. Librarians have considerable expertise in designing programmes to achieve outcomes in these areas. 

 

Objective

The objective is to acknowledge and celebrate librarians’ expertise by sharing ideas, broadening awareness, and visiting some best practice examples, and above all to inspire. The programme will encourage and resource librarians to position their library services as part of a multi-faceted response to wider community development needs. This will influence decision makers to recognise and strengthen the critical role that libraries play in society.

 

Subject of Papers:

-          The library’s impact and social role in the community

-          Best innovative practice from public libraries according to the description of theme and background

-          Political processes leading to successful libraries

 

Submission guidelines

Interested parties are invited to submit an abstract (maximum 350 words) in English for a proposed paper before 16 January 2010.

The presentation will each last approximately 20 minutes

The abstract should include the title of the paper; name, position and employer of the presenter(s); email address; and telephone/fax numbers.

 

This should be sent to:

Ruth Ornholt

Public Libraries Section Standing Committee

Email: ruth.ornholt@...

 

Evaluation and Deadlines

Proposals will be reviewed by a sub-committee of members of the Standing Committee of the Public Libraries Section and the collaboration parties.

Successful proposals will be identified by 15 February 2010.

Papers must be due by 15 May 2010. Papers should be in English and contain an abstract.

CALL FOR PAPERS -- LIBRARY TRENDS

The editors of Library Trends are pleased to announce plans for a special issue titled "Involving Users in the Co-Construction of Digital Knowledge in Libraries, Archives, and Museums."

This special issue will be guest edited by Drs. Paul F. Marty and Michelle M. Kazmer, College of Communication and Information, Florida State University, with Dr. Corinne Jorgensen (Florida State University), Katherine Burton Jones (Harvard Divinity School), and Richard J. Urban (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign).


DESCRIPTION

Many libraries, archives, and museums provide their users with social computing environments that include the ability to tag collections, annotate objects, and otherwise contribute their thoughts to the knowledge base of the institution. Information professionals and users have responded to the transition to a web 2.0 world of user-created content by developing open source tools to coordinate these activities and researching the best ways to involve users in the co-creation of digital knowledge.

This rapid influx of new technologies and new methods of interacting with users has come at a time when libraries, archives, and museums still struggle to share data across their own institutions, let alone between different types of institutions. Information professionals in libraries, archives, and museums had barely begun to make progress developing crosswalks and data interoperability standards when, as social computing became the norm on the web, providing the ability for users to manipulate data changed from a cool toy to a basic expectation. Moving forward -- and keeping pace with user expectations -- requires the coordination of many different users (in all their variety) as they contribute, participate, shape, and create all types of data in all types of contexts.

We need to consider what social computing really means for the future of libraries, archives, and museums, and think carefully about the future trends and long-term implications of involving users in the co-construction of knowledge online. It is important to have broad-based discussions about what happens when users are involved in shaping and directing and guiding the development of online libraries, archives, and museums and their information resources.

For this issue of Library Trends, therefore, we seek authors who can step back and think broadly about those issues that are raised when we bring users into the mix in various ways and at various points in the data/information/knowledge life-cycle. We are interested in receiving high-level theory pieces, supported by research data of course, but with a focus on the long-term trends involved and their implications for libraries, archives, and museums. In particular, we are looking for papers that explore the future trends and long-term implications of the many different ways in which information professionals in libraries, archives, and museums have, can, and should involve their users in the co-construction of digital knowledge based on their online collections.

Sample questions include, but are certainly not limited to:

* How are libraries, archives, and museums implementing user-contributed data / descriptions of artifacts, objects, or collections on their websites? What are the long-term implications of involving users in the co-description, co-cataloguing of digital knowledge?

* How are libraries, archives, and museums encouraging users to create online collections of personal favorites or similar items on their websites? What are the long-term implications of involving users in the co-creation, co-curation of digital knowledge?

* How are libraries, archives, and museums encouraging users to create / structure their own online environments, designing personalized websites or portals specifically suited to individual needs? What are the implications of involving users in the design and structuring of online interfaces for the development and presentation of digital knowledge?

* How is the education of library, archives, and museum practitioners (and in particular the increase in online and hybrid learning technologies) influencing the ways practitioners subsequently incorporate technology into their user service environments in libraries, archives, and museums?


IMPORTANT DATES

* Optional Abstract: December 1, 2009 (see below)

* Submission Deadline: March 1, 2010

* Review Decisions: May 15, 2010 (all submissions will be peer-reviewed)

* Final Versions Due: July 15, 2010

* Publication: Early 2011

76ª Conferencia y Asamblea General de IFLA

10-15 de agosto de 2010, Göteborg, Suecia

Tema: Acceso abierto al conocimiento promoviendo un progreso sostenible

 

Petición de comunicaciones

La Sección de Edificios y Equipamientos de Biblioteca celebrará su sesión abierta en Göteborg, Suecia 2010, sobre el tema:

Interiores que inspiran: creando y diseñando espacios bibliotecarios prácticos y apasionantes que promueven el uso

El diseño de bibliotecas no atañe solamente al envoltorio exterior, sino que también trata acerca de los apasionantes, imaginativos, pero siempre prácticos espacios interiores. La Sección de Edificios y Equipamientos de Biblioteca busca comunicaciones sugerentes que ofrezcan una visión general y/o aportaciones al debate acerca de cómo diseñar interiores de biblioteca con éxito. Los posibles temas a tratar incluirían la teoría del diseño de interiores en relación con las bibliotecas y cuestiones como, por ejemplo, el color, los materiales o la iluminación y su impacto en los servicios y su uso. Cuestiones como la accesibilidad para todos y la sostenibilidad, en relación con el tema general del Congreso de 2010, deberían estar incorporadas a la comunicación. Hay que resaltar que todas las comunicaciones presentadas en la sesión de Goteborg deben centrarse en aspectos de los edificios y el diseño, y no en los servicios o funcionalidades bibliotecarias. Serán especialmente bienvenidas presentaciones conjuntas entre bibliotecarios y arquitectos o interioristas.

La sesión se abrirá con una ponencia principal seguida de tres breves comunicaciones sobre aspectos del diseño de interiores de bibliotecas.

Quienes quieran presentar una comunicación deberán enviar antes del 15 de enero de 2010 la siguiente información:

Call for Papers

IFLA Agricultural Libraries Special Interest Group

Theme: "Current Trends in Agricultural Information Services for Farmers"

The IFLA Agricultural Libraries Special Interest Group  in association with IAALD (International Association of Agricultural information Specialists) invites papers to be presented at a two-hour session to be held at the World Library and Information Congress: 76th IFLA General Conference at Gothenburg, Sweden, 10-15 August 2010.

Information needs of farmers  center  around the problems such as seeds, soil fertility, soil erosion, climatic conditions, fertilizers, pest hazards, weed control, water management, farm credit, post-harvesting, transportation, marketing and so forth. Timely provision of information is essential in solving these problems. However, the impact of agricultural research and innovations on farmers is not much either because they have no access to such vital information or it is poorly disseminated. Information provided is mainly focused on policy makers and researchers with little attention paid to the information needs of farmers. It is more so in developing countries and particularly small-scale farmers.

This session is  aimed at discussing current trends in providing farmer-oriented information services in developed and developing countries. The issues to be addressed include:

·         How do agricultural research institutes and universities in the country cater to the information needs of  farmers

·         What strategies are being adopted by extension service providers to meet the  information needs of farmers

·         How do private firms/agencies disseminate product based information to farmers

·         What are the barriers and constraints in utilization of agricultural information by farmers in the country or region

·         How the  social networking tools, mobile phones, internet, and other information communication technologies are used by farmers

·         How digital diagnostic services are provided to farmers

·         Recent  developments in providing open access to agricultural extension bulletins

·         What role is being played by  international organizations such as USDA, FAO, CGIAR, DFID, CTA  in facilitating  agricultural information to transfer to  farmers

Papers should be based on facts rather than theoretical aspects focusing on any of the facets.

Submissions
Interested authors are encouraged to  submit their proposal on any of these aspects for consideration. The deadline for submitting a detailed abstract (max 500 words) along with full author details is 31 December 2009. Full paper is due not later than  30 April 2010 and must be original not published elsewhere

·         Abstracts and full papers should be submitted by email

·         Papers should be of 10 pages maximum, single spaced

·         Papers should be in English with a one-page abstract

·         Each presenter would be allowed 15 minutes for a summary delivery of the paper followed  by clarifications and discussion

·         The presenter should not read the paper

·         The author(s) should indicate personal full contact details and include summary curriculum vitae with the paper

Please note that all fees, including registration to the conference, travel, accommodation etc. are the responsibility of the authors.
On review of the abstracts, selected presenters will be notified by 15 February 2010.

Please submit your proposal by 31 December 2009 to :

World Library and Information Congress: 76th IFLA General Conference and Assembly
 
“Open access to knowledge – promoting sustainable progress”
10-15 August 2010, Gothenburg, Sweden
 
Call for papers – National Libraries Section
 
Dear Colleagues
 
The National Libraries Section invites the submission of proposals for papers on the Theme: “National libraries promoting open access to knowledge”.
 
A keynote paper on this topic will be delivered by Drs. J. S. M. (Bas) Savenije, Director General, National Library of the Netherlands. This is a call for additional papers that focus on issues and strategies rather than descriptions of existing or proposed services. Other than the keynote address, presentations at the National Libraries Section conference session in 2010 will be limited to 15 minutes with a further five minutes for questions.
 
In formulating its conference topic for 2010, the Standing Committee of the National Libraries Section noted several issues of strong interest to national libraries:
 
  • The role of national libraries in developing national policies on open access
  • Responsibilities for managing and preserving research data, including datasets, and relationships with the academic sector
  • Copyright issues
  • Provision of open access infrastructure (repositories, standards etc.)
 
National libraries work with government agencies, universities and other research funding bodies in developing national open access strategies. They also work with and support university and research libraries in developing institutional repositories. In this context, national libraries are looking for new partnerships, new ideas and new approaches to promoting open access to knowledge. Proposals should address the topic in terms of leadership and collaboration in the digital age.
 
The deadline for submitting an abstract (maximum 400 words) for a proposed paper is 16 January 2010. The abstract should include the title of the paper; name, position and employer of the presenter(s); email address; and telephone/fax numbers.
This should be sent to:
 
Ms Jasmine Cameron
Secretary
National Libraries Section Standing Committee
c/- National Library of Australia
Parkes Place ACT 2600
AUSTRALIA
Email: jcameron@...
 
Proposals will be reviewed by s sub-committee of members of the Standing Committee of the National Libraries Section. Successful proposals will be identified by 31 January 2010.
 
Papers will be due by 15 May 2010. Papers should be in English and contain an abstract.

Libros informativos: criterios de calidad

Juzgar la calidad de un libro es un asunto complejo. Para que un libro informativo sea considerado de calidad no es suficiente con que posea determinados atributos, hace falta más. La calidad de un libro informativo se encuentra soportada sobre dos ideas: la utilidad y la seducción. La lectura de un libro informativo de calidad debe ser tanto útil como seductora para el lector, sobre todo para el de corta edad. De estas dos ideas derivan unas cualidades que hacen que un libro informativo tenga más o menos calidad.

Un concepto editorial claro
La primera de estas cualidades es la presencia de un concepto editorial claro. Las motivaciones y pretensiones del editor, y del autor que lo ayudó en la elaboración el libro, deben ser evidentes. El libro informativo despierta en el lector unas expectativas, activa un pacto de lectura al igual que sucede con un libro de ficción. Dado que el lector supone que lo que se dice en un libro de este tipo es verdad, él debe tener la posibilidad de verificar en qué medida la información que recibe es veraz. Para ello, en el libro se debe indicar: quién es el autor de los textos, cuál es la posición del autor respecto al tema que trata y cuál es el criterio que empleó el editor para seleccionar los materiales: textos e imágenes, que forman el libro.
No se trata de una declaración de autenticidad sino de emplear espacios o recursos como la solapa, la contraportada o una nota para compartir dicha información con el lector. Una biografía, por ejemplo, no podría dejar al lector con la duda sobre si lo que está leyendo es un relato autobiográfico o un texto escrito en primera persona por un autor que busca crear una atmósfera de mayor intimidad empleando un recurso literario. Un criterio editorial claro también implica que el libro señale el origen o las fuentes de la información, cuándo se trata de la reproducción de un documento original y cuándo se trata de una versión o reinterpretación de ese documento. Y que intente, en la medida de las posibilidades y si es pertinente, ofrecer distintas perspectivas para propiciar una comprensión más amplia del tema.


Ecos de la Conquista, escrito por Krystyna M. Libura y Cristina Urrutia, y publicado por Ediciones Tecolote, ofrece al lector la posibilidad de conocer dos lecturas de la conquista de México, la de Bernal Díaz del Castillo y la de Bernardino de Sahagún. Los textos dialogan entre sí y con las ilustraciones, todas tomadas de obras de la época. Este libro informativo representa un ejemplo de un concepto editorial claro que no dejas dudas en el lector respecto a sus intenciones: leer críticamente la historia.

Utilidad de los elementos gráficos
Otra de las cualidades, ligada a la estructura del libro, es aquella que se refiere a la utilidad o función de los elementos no textuales que s
e emplean para informar. En un libro informativo se deben manejar imágenes, signos y señales con un valor determinado que sean fáciles de comprender por el lector y que añadan valor a la información. Franjas de colores, fuentes tipográficas o iconos no deben ser empleados solamente por su valor estético sino porque también remitan a jerarquías y niveles de lectura. En un libro informativo no debe usarse ningún elemento que no tenga un significado. Igualmente, la relación entre estos elementos y el texto debe ser estrecha. Lo ideal es que un elemento remita al texto y a otros elementos dentro del libro o fuera de éste para mostrar la información en toda su complejidad.

Como con cualquier otro libro, lo que define la calidad de un libro informativo es la manera idónea como se han empleado las herramientas y estrategias para facilitar la cabal comprensión y el mayor disfrute del contenido por parte del lector.

Call for Presentation Proposals

2010 Library Research Round Table Forums at
ALA Annual Conference,
Washington, DC

The Library Research Round Table (LRRT) will sponsor two Research
Forums at the 2010 American Library Association Annual Conference in
Washington, DC (June 24-29).  The LRRT Forums are a set of programs at
the ALA Annual Conference featuring presentations of LIS research, in
progress or completed, followed by discussion.  Two LRRT Research
Forums are scheduled for 2010, one on general LIS research and one on a
more specific topic that will emerge as we evaluate the submissions.
The two forums are:


Research to Understand Users: Issues and Approaches
This session will feature three library-related research papers
investigating users and their use of libraries and information.  An
LRRT committee will select the winning papers based on quality of study
design, significance of the research topic, and potential for
significant contribution to librarianship. 

Four-Star Research
This session will feature three library-related research papers
describing studies of libraries and librarianship.  An LRRT committee
will select the winning papers based on quality and creativity of study
design, significance of the research topic, and potential for
significant contribution to librarianship. 


This is an opportunity to present and discuss your research project
conducted in the broad area of library and information science or in a
more specialized area of the field. LRRT welcomes papers emphasizing
the problems, theories, methodologies, or significance of research
findings for LIS.  Topics can include, but are not limited to, user
studies and user behavior, electronic services, service effectiveness,
organizational structure and personnel, library value determination,
and evaluation of library and information services.  Both completed
research and research in progress will be considered.  All researchers,
including practitioners from all types of libraries, library school
faculty and students, and other interested individuals are encouraged
to submit proposals.  LRRT Members and nonmembers of LRRT are invited
and welcomed to submit proposals.

The Committee will use a blind review process to select a maximum of
six projects, three for each of the two forums.  The selected
researchers will be required to present their papers in person at the
forums and to register for the conference.  Criteria for selection are:

1.      Significance of the study to library and information science
research;
2.      Quality and creativity of the methodology;
3.      Potential to fill a research gap or to build on previous LIS studies;
4.      Adherence to submission requirements (see below).

Please submit a two-page proposal by Tuesday, December 15, 2009.  Late
submissions will not be considered, and submissions must be limited to
two pages in length.  On the first page, please list your name(s),
title(s), institutional affiliation(s), and contact information
(telephone number, mailing address, and email address).  The second
page should NOT show your name or any other identifying information. 
Instead, it must include: 1) The title of your project, and 2) A
500-word or less abstract.  The abstract must include a problem
statement, problem significance, project objectives, methodology, and
conclusions (or tentative conclusions for work in progress), and an
indication of whether the research is in-progress or completed.
Previously published research or research accepted for publication by
December 15, 2009, will not be considered.

Notification of acceptance will be made by Monday, February 22, 2010.
Please send submissions (via email or snail mail) to:

Hi,

International UDC Seminar 2009 entitled "Classification at a Crossroads:
multiple directions to usability" took place in The Hague on 29-30
October 2009.

This conference was very successful in bringing together speakers and
audience from different communities interested in and working with
classification schemes. There were 135 delegates in attendance from 32
countries and from various kinds of information services and
institutions, libraries, museums, academia and research institutes. The
focus of the conference was on technical and technological issues on how
to make classification work in a networked environment.

Talks provoked interesting discussions and interactions and left us all
with the feeling that we need more events of this kind which would give
opportunities to technical, software and standards specialists to
interact with classificationists, classification owners and
practitioners. The panel discussion at the end of the conference
stressed again how the application environment for classification has
changed significantly for both those who publish and distribute
classification and for those who apply it. The commitment to open
sharing and linking of data is a shared responsibility. It transpires
that many issues that deal with the classification use are not entirely
to do with funding or programming expertise as much as a matter of 
'know how' and there is a great responsibility on gatekeepers of this
knowledge and expertise to share it and make it accessible.

We have now published talk slides and mp3 recordings (only one session
at the end of the first day was not recorded for technical reasons) and
we hope that colleagues interested in this area may find some of the
talks inspiring:

We will make an announcement when conference papers are published.

Kind regards

Aida Slavic

2010
                  26–28 April 2010, Trondheim, Norway
                             http://www.emtacl.com

                                Call for papers

_______________________________________________________________________


Emerging technologies and evolving user behaviour change the rules of
the game for academic libraries. Emerging technologies include new ways
of using existing technologies and totally new, disruptive technologies.
Examples include:

   - social networks
   - (micro)blogging
   - news services and aggregation
   - cloud computing
   - sharing and mashups
   - mobile web
   - location awareness

This is a new international conference for academic librarians,
information professionals, academic staff, students, library system
developers and suppliers, among others. The conference aims to provide
answers to the following questions: What can academic libraries do to
address change? How can we adapt? Which technologies can/should/must we
use/create? The conference is hosted by NTNU Library, the Library of the
Norwegian university of science and technology in Trondheim, Norway.

The programme committee invites original presentations and posters
taking one or more of the following perspectives as a point of
departure:

   - Semantic web library
   - New (information) literacies
   - Supporting research in a changing age
   - Organizational change within the library
   - Analysis of user behaviour and using statistics in Library 2.0
   - New services/old services in new clothes
   - Best practices for the adaptive academic library
   - Other relevant perspectives on emerging technologies

We invite submission of:

   - Research papers presenting theoretical solutions, but with a clear
     illustration on how these solutions can be applied in libraries
   - Position papers presenting opinions on some aspect of practice,
     or describing work that is still in progress, but sufficiently
     mature to warrant attention
   - Experiences and case studies specifying requirements, challenges,
     or opportunities of applying emerging technologies in libraries
   - Comparison with alternative or competing approaches using
     conventional technologies
   - Best practices for implementing emerging technologies in libraries
   - Assessment of the costs and benefits of the application of emerging
     technologies, e.g. time and cost of implementation and deployment,
     integration with legacy IT systems, user acceptance, returns on
     investment


Abstract submission instructions:

Please use the submission form at
https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=emtacl10
to submit your paper or poster, including


   - personal details
   - additional presenter details
   - presentation title and abstract.

Abstract length should not exceed 2500 characters. Please note that the
language of the conference will be English, and therefore the committee
will only accept submissions in this language.

All submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers.

Contributions will be made public through the NTNU e-publishing service,
and accepted authors will be invited to supply full papers for this
purpose. Papers are primarily requested in pdf format, conforming to
further formatting details at the submission website. We do however
welcome suggestions for alternative formats in cases where pdf is
unsuitable, e.g. for non-textual contributions.


Important dates:

Abstract submission: 15 November 2009
Notification of acceptance/rejection: 15 December 2009
Authors should confirm their participation: 31 December 2009
Submission of publishing-ready paper: 1 March 2010

Dear colleagues,

World Library and Information Congress: 76th IFLA General Conference 
and Assembly

"Open access to knowledge - promoting sustainable progress"
10-15 August 2010, Gothenburg, Sweden

Call for Papers

Bibliography Section

Theme: "Open Access to National Bibliographies : Best Practices and 
Business Models."

National bibliographies play a vital role in recording the published 
cultural heritage of their countries. The character of National 
Bibliographies has been changing as forms of information production 
change, e.g. digital publications, open access journals, web 
harvesting, archiving government websites and mass digitization.

While promoting free access to information, many national libraries 
still produce their own bibliographies as a product to be bought by 
their patrons.  Libraries depend on the money earned in order to 
produce the expensive products.  On the other hand, offering the 
national library records via open access enables a variety of further 
possibilities, such as a higher visibility, greater usage by other 
institutions, and thus a better leveraging of the work done in a 
national library.

In order to still be able to provide this kind of bibliographic 
service to the public in the future, new business models will be 
needed, i.e. models that meet the challenges of a changing information 
infrastructure.

       ? What kind of business models can be used to promote the best 
service?  What kind of licences can be used?  What criteria can be 
used to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of ?open access 
bibliographies??

       ? For instance, do your business models include differentiated 
approaches to the following?

        o commercial/non-commercial use
        o the formats, in which you offer the bibliographic data (e.g. 
print, CD, web-catalogue, datasets in exchange formats, as linked data 
over the web etc.)
        o service levels, such as free core services and prized value 
added services

       ? In this context, how do you redefine the scope of national 
bibliography?  What kind of impact does the definition have on the 
selection, resource description, preservation and subject access of 
national bibliography?

       ? What ongoing projects are underway or planned to assist 
national bibliographies as they pass from traditional formats and 
processing to a system that allows them to work in a digital 
environment, for instance, as linked data over the web?

1. Submissions

Please submit a detailed abstract in English (at least 500 words) of 
the proposed paper that is consistent with the above suggested themes, 
and relevant author/s details by 15 January 2010 via e-mail to:

Charlene Chou
Bibliography SC, session organizer
E-Mail: cc179@...

Anke Meyer
Bibliography SC, session organizer
E-mail: a.meyer@...

The selection of papers will be based on the abstracts and authors 
will be notified whether they have been successful or not by 19 
February 2010.

       ? Completed papers must be an original submission not published 
elsewhere. They will be due by 1 May 2010 to allow time for review and 
preparation of translations. The author(s) should indicate his/her 
personal full contact details and include a summary curriculum vitae 
with the paper.

       ? Papers should be no more than 20 typed pages in length and 
written in any of the IFLA official languages.

       ? In preparing the paper, please follow the IFLA 
recommendations and general guidelines.

       ? A maximum of 20 minutes will be allowed for a summary 
delivery of the paper during the Section's Open Programme in Gothenburg.

       ? Members of the Bibliography Standing Committee will work with 
authors to ensure a quality and timely paper.

2.  Selection

Full abstracts should be prepared following the template provided 
below. Each abstract will be blind-reviewed by members of the 
Bibliography Standing Committee. Abbreviated abstracts or late 
submissions will not be considered.

3.  Purpose of the paper

What are the reason(s) for writing the paper (or the aims of the research)?
Design/methodology/approach: How are the objectives achieved? Include 
the main method(s) used for the study. What is the approach to the 
topic, and what is the theoretical or subject scope of the paper?

4.  Findings

What was found in the course of the work? This will refer to analysis, 
discussion, or results.

5.  Research limitations/implications (if applicable)

If research is reported on in the paper, this section must be 
completed and should include suggestions for future research and any 
identified limitations in the research process. Practical implications 
(if applicable): what outcomes and implications for practice, 
applications and consequences are identified? All papers should have 
practical applications. What changes to practice might be made as a 
result of this research/paper?

6.  What is original/value of the paper

What is new in the paper? State the value of the paper and to whom.

Please note that the expenses of attending the Gothenburg conference 
(including travel, conference fee, and any other expenses) will be the 
responsibility of the author(s)/presenter(s) of accepted papers.

The Journal of Library and Information Science (JLIS) is inviting submission of papers.  The JLIS is a peer reviewed journal published semiannually in April and October by the Department of Adult & Continuing Education, National Taiwan Normal University in Taiwan and the Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA) in the U.S.A.  Since its first publication in 1975, the JLIS has provided an outlet for scholars around world to contribute knowledge through their ongoing research and to thrive through their intellectual pursuits.  The JLIS invites both Chinese and English manuscripts of original research in all subjects pertaining to library and information science. It also invites reviews of monographs, books, and reports about library and information science. Manuscripts in English should be submitted via email attachment to Min Chou at minchou.njcu@...).  Manuscripts in Chinese should be submitted to Dr. Ming-Hsin Chiu at phoebechiu@....  Reviews of books, monographs, and reports should be submitted to Dr. Mengxiong Liu at mengxiong.liu@....  For publication in the April issue, it is preferred that you submit your manuscript by December 30; for the October issue, please submit by June 30. We strongly encourage authors to submit before the deadlines to ensure sufficient time for full review process and necessary revisions, as some papers may go through two rounds of review and revision.  Submission guidelines are provided below and also available at the website http://www.cala-web.org/node/165.

Submission Guidelines

Each submission should be accompanied by a cover letter indicating that the manuscript is original and not under consideration by any other journal or book. All Chinese manuscripts should be submitted to the Editorial Board of JLIS, c/o Graduate Institute of Library & Information Studies, National Taiwan Normal University, 162, Section 1, Hoping East Road, Taipei, Taiwan, or email: Ming-Hsin Chiu at phoebechiu@.... English manuscripts should be submitted to Min Chou, English Editor of JLIS, c/o Congressman Frank J. Guarini Library, New Jersey City University, 2039 Kennedy Boulevard, Jersey City, New Jersey, 07305-1597, U.S.A., or email: minchou.njcu@....  Reviews of books, monographs, and other reports should be submitted to Dr. Mengxiong Liu, c/o Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library, San Jose State University, 1 Washington Square, San Jose, California 95192-0028, U.S.A., or email: mengxiong.liu@.... English manuscripts must be typed in MS Word and submitted either as email attachments.  Manuscripts should not exceed 10,000 words in length, not including notes, tables, and forms of data.

Se pone en marcha el nuevo portal Travesía - recursos digitales para la
cooperación bibliotecaria con Normas para Bibliotecas, colección de
legislación y normas técnicas.



La Subdirección General de Coordinación Bibliotecaria (SGCB) ha puesto en
marcha el nuevo sitio web TRAVESÍA: recursos digitales para la cooperación
bibliotecaria. Travesía es una biblioteca digital que pretende servir de
soporte a la cooperación bibliotecaria dentro de los sistemas de bibliotecas
españolas.



La versión anterior de Travesía nació en el año 2000 como Portal de
Bibliotecas Públicas Españolas. Las nuevas estructuras de cooperación
derivadas de la Ley 10/2007  (
http://hdl.handle.net/10421/188) y la
reglamentación posterior del Consejo de Cooperación Bibliotecaria
(
http://hdl.handle.net/10421/193) hacen necesario un portal que favorezca la
cooperación bibliotecaria a nivel general.



Actualmente están disponibles las siguientes colecciones:



- Normas para Bibliotecas
<
http://travesia.mcu.es/portalnb/jspui/handle/10421/102>  que engloba una
parte de Legislación (europea, nacional y autonómica) y otra de Normas
Técnicas (normas, directrices, recomendaciones etc. emitidas por
organizaciones significativas del sector bibliotecario).



- Otro gran apartado se refiere al amplio espectro de las publicaciones
<

General de Coordinación Bibliotecaria.



Los documentos son incluidos a texto completo siempre que lo permitan los
derechos de autor de los mismos, en caso contrario Travesía recoge solo los
metadatos y un enlace al documento en el sitio Web del editor. El interfaz
de Travesía es multilingüe en las lenguas oficiales españolas además del
inglés.



Es un servicio en constante actualización y crecimiento y por esta razón
contamos con vuestras sugerencias, que podéis realizar a través del correo

                                CALL FOR PAPERS

                         Workshop on Matching and Meaning:
         Automated development, evolution and interpretation of ontologies

                      http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/wmm-2010

              31st March 2010, part of AISB'10 Convention, Leicester, UK


OVERVIEW

The problem of semantic misalignment - of two (or more) systems failing
to understand one another when their semantic representation is not
identical - occurs in a huge variety of areas: the Semantic Web,
databases, natural language processing; anywhere, indeed, where
semantics are necessary but centralised control is undesirable or
impractical.  In highly dynamic domains, where interactions are between
a large, diverse and evolving community, there is a need for the
resolving of these misalignments - through developing and evolving
existing ontologies or interpreting unknown ontologies in terms of
known ones - to be done automatically and on-the-fly.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
the problems of automated development, evolution and interpretation of
ontologies in the many different domains in which it occurs. We are
primarily interested in the exchange of ideas and the stimulation of
debate, and the workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers to
present ongoing work and ideas and to engage in discussion with other
researchers from the field. We are particularly interested in novel
ideas and innovative research, which may be in its early stages, and
encourage reports on work in progress.

Topics of interest include:

      * Ontology evolution
      * Ontology matching and alignment
      * Ontology versioning
      * Representational or structural change
      * Formal aspects of ontology dynamics
      * Formalisation of and reasoning with contexts
      * Foundational issues
      * Social and collaborative matching
      * Background knowledge in matching
      * Extensions to ontology languages to better support change
      * Non-monotonic reasoning for ontologies and the Semantic Web
      * Inconsistency handling in evolving ontologies
      * Uncertainty in matching
      * Change propagation in ontologies and metadata
      * Ontologies for dynamic environments
      * Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation
      * Matching for dynamic applictions (e.g., p2p, agents, web-services)
      * Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications
      * Open problems


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

We encourage the submission of extended abstracts of 2-5 pages that
discuss ongoing research, problem descriptions and overviews of the
domain. Accepted papers will be included in the AISB 2010 proceedings
unless the authors prefer them not to be (for example, if the work is
very similar to work presented elsewhere which they nevertheless feel
it would be valuable to present in this context, or if the work is at
a stage where discussion would be valuable but publication would be
premature). Authors wishing their submissions to be included in the
convention proceedings must follow the style guide on the convention
website.

Submissions will be subject to light reviewing, mainly intended to
check fit to workshop.

Abstracts should be submitted electronically in pdf format to
mchan-at-ed.ac.uk by 18th December 2009. Notification of acceptance
will be sent to the submitting author on 15th February 2010.


VENUE

The workshop will take place at De Montfort University in Leicester,
as part of the AISB 2010 Convention
(http://www.aisb.org.uk/convention/aisb10/), from March 31st to 1st
April, 2010. All workshop participants must be registered for the AISB
2010 Convention. Registration for this workshop is included in the
convention registration fee.


IMPORTANT DATES

Submission: Friday, 18th December 2009
Notification: Monday, 15th February 2010
Workshop: 31st March - 1st April 2010
AISB10 Convention: 29th March - 1st April 2010


PROGRAMME

Presentations: Authors of accepted abstracts will give presentations of
their work; exact times to be decided.

Posters: If it is not possible to fit in presentations for all accepted
authors, some may be asked to present posters instead. There will be a
session of 5 minute poster talks.

Panel: The technical programme will end with a 90 minute panel
discussion on a topic of mutual interest to be decided. Three speakers
will speak for 10 minutes each with a brief to stimulate debate during
the remaining 60 minutes. Discussion amongst all participants, rather
than question-and-answering for the panel, will be strongly encouraged.

Descripción

El V Coloquio internacional "Comunicación y transmisión del saber entre lenguas y culturas" continúa la serie de encuentros científicos que se han venido celebrando, con el mismo título, desde 1997 en la Universitat Pompeu Fabra de Barcelona y en la Universidad de Salzburgo en Austria.

En el último encuentro en Salzburgo se tomó como punto de partida la comparación entre autores científicos, entre niveles de comunicación científica (teoría, divulgación), entre siglos y épocas, entre lenguas, variedades lingüísticas y contextos socio-culturales, entre campos científicos, etc. En aquella ocasión, pudo corroborarse que muchas de las coincidencias y diferencias que pueden constatarse en los lenguajes iberorrománicos de especialidad apuntan hacia la existencia de tradiciones de elaboración de textos, de determinados centros irradiadores de ciencia y cultura, la formación de escuelas, etc. Inspirados por los debates en el IV Coloquio en Salzburgo, para el V Coloquio proponemos descubrir, describir e investigar los caminos de las influencias ejercidas. El Coloquio de 2010 pretende también retomar la cuestión de la transmisión del saber tratada en el II Coloquio del año 1999, en el que se analizaron procesos de divulgación de la ciencia, y en el III Coloquio de 2003, que se dedicó a investigar la incorporación de lo ajeno a lo propio a través de la traducción. En esta ocasión se quiere ampliar el enfoque al estudio sincrónico y diacrónico de la comunicación y transmisión del saber entre escuelas, disciplinas, lenguas y culturas. Como en las anteriores ediciones, los objetivos generales del Coloquio serán:
- examinar la situación actual de la investigación de los lenguajes de especialidad en general y, en las lenguas iberorrománicas en particular;
- revelar aquellas soluciones y caminos históricos que puedan servir para armonizar los problemas actuales en el campo de la comunicación especializada.

Los objetivos centrales del Coloquio serán:
- trazar las vías de transmisión del saber para evidenciar las relaciones entre disciplinas y subdisciplinas, científicos y escuelas en perspectiva diacrónica y sincrónica;
- descubrir, describir e investigar las publicaciones que funcionaron como textos de referencia y determinar la impronta de estos textos para el desarrollo de los lenguajes de especialidad (términos, géneros textuales, etc.);
- investigar la historia de la recepción de determinados textos, de los lenguajes de especialidad, las tradiciones discursivas y modelos textuales vinculados a ellos tanto por los científicos de la misma lengua y cultura como por la comunidad científica de otras lenguas y culturas;
- indagar en los caminos que tomaron los textos, modelos y términos -por ejemplo a través de la traducción, adaptación, etc.- y en cómo se adaptaron o modificaron al introducirse en los lenguajes de especialidad en otras lenguas o de otras áreas científicas;
- analizar la importancia de la formación y posterior expansión de las escuelas y tradiciones e investigar el papel de determinados centros científicos, de enseñanza o de publicación irradiadores de saber, enfoques y modelos en el desarrollo de los lenguajes de especialidad en los países iberorrománicos;
- fomentar la investigación diacrónica como instrumento para descubrir y dominar los mecanismos de transmisión del saber e implantación de modelos y tradiciones de la escritura científica.

El ámbito del Coloquio es internacional y corresponde a los países en que se habla o se estudia alguna de las lenguas iberorrománicas (español, catalán, portugués, gallego). Las lenguas oficiales del Coloquio serán todas las iberorrománicas más el francés.

Las conferencias plenarias pretenden transmitir resultados estrictamente relacionados con el tema del Coloquio, pero obtenidos en otros ámbitos lingüísticos. Se trata fundamentalmente de problemas metodológicos de interés general que no se llegan a conocer normalmente a causa de la creciente especialización en la investigación lingüística y terminológica.

Forma de inscripción:
- Cuota de inscripción: hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2009, 110 Euros, después de esta fecha 135 Euros.
- Cuota reducida (estudiantes y licenciados en desempleo): hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2009, 25 Euros, después de esta fecha 40 Euros.
- Los profesores y estudiantes de la Universidad de Leipzig no pagarán cuota de inscripción.
- Los inscritos tendrán derecho a un certificado oficial de participación en el Coloquio.

Lugar: Departamento de Lingüística Aplicada y Translatología, Universidad de Leipzig (Alemania) (www.ialt.de). Página web del congreso: http://www.ialt.de > Kongresse > cihlie2010.

Gustavo Alfredo Jácome: Gazapos académicos en 'Ortografía de la lengua española' (1999), Ediciones Verbum Mentis, 2002.

Resumen:

En julio de 1999, entró en circulación la Ortografía de la lengua española, obra de la Real Academia, revisada por las veintiún Corporaciones asociadas. La habíamos esperado algún tiempo. Mas, apenas iniciada la lectura, el libro se nos cayó de las manos. ¿Dónde “el magisterio docente de la Academia”? Hemos pensado entonces en los millones de educandos, escolares y jóvenes estudiantes. Preocupados por su aleccionamiento, sin atribuirnos autoridad alguna, hemos decidido tomar la plana y enmendar en ella los inesperados errores cometidos, precisamente, contra normas que constan en la Gramática de la lengua española, obra académica en actual vigencia. De manera alguna a lo Zoilo. Aunque el lector puede vislumbrar nuestro desencanto ante tan solemne deterioro.

Puede leerse online casi íntegramente en:
