16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Lima Peru, August 12-15, 2010 

Conference Website: http://www.amcis2010.org/home/

Description:
This Mini Track solicits research papers, research-in-progress papers, and panel proposals on social theory in information systems research. This will be the 11th consecutive year for the Mini Track at AMCIS,  and we hope to continue a tradition of high quality paper submissions, thought-provoking presentations and lively discussion for all IS  researchers using, or considering the use of, social theory in their work.
Within this Mini Track, we seek to attract research papers, research-in-progress papers, and panels from all IS researchers who are using the work of social theorists, organizational theorists, sociotechnical theorists, and cultural anthropologists in their research.
Possible Topics:  We want to highlight research that uses social theory, sociotechnical theory, and social informatics approaches to critically examine the constitution of information and communications technologies, and their roles in organizations and society.  For example, the work of social theorists (e.g., Callon, Castells, Bourdieu, Giddens, Putnam), organizational theorists (e.g., Powell, DiMaggio, Scott), sociotechnical theorists (e.g., Bijker , Hughes, Kling), cultural anthropologists (e.g., D’Andrade, Holland, Suchman), symbolic interactionists (e.g., Strauss , Star), and many others are being used to address the most important questions about IS, organizations, and society.  We invite IS research that applies, builds on, compares, or critiques these social theories.

Proposals are due by Monday 12/28/2009. The ACRL New Members Discussion Group is for new (and aspiring) academic librarians. We meet twice a year­at both ALAA conferences­to chat about whatever is on oour minds. It’s an opportunity for networking and a friendly place to ask any questions you have about succeeding in ACRL. Presenters at this meeting have the opportunity to contribute to the professional development of other academic librarians, gain conference presentation experience, and build their CV. Students are welcome to submit proposals. This Midwinter conference we want to hear from you on themes relating to Incorporating Technology Tools in Library Instruction. How do you perceive the role of technology in library instruction and how do you handle teaching about technology? We are interested in presentations that share personal experiences with incorporating technology tools, such as customized browser toolbars, screencasting, citation management software, and podcasting into library instruction. The goal of these presentations is to familiarize new and aspiring academic librarians with effective uses of these tools and effective methods of teaching about technology topics. We seek proposals for presentations that address this topic from a variety of angles, including (but not limited to): -Examples of effective uses of technology tools in library instruction, either as a means for delivering instruction (for example, creating screencasts about citation management software), or as the topic of instruction (for example, delivering library instruction sessions that teach students how to use tools such as podcasting or citation management software) -How to use technology tools to meet specific learning outcomes -Successful strategies for promoting library instruction sessions that focus on technology The ACRL New Members Discussion Group meeting will take place on Saturday January 16, 2010, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Westin Copley Place Essex Center. Presenters should plan to speak for 10 minutes and allow 5 minutes for questions/discussion. There will be three presentations. Following the presentations, we will open the floor for discussion on the topic, or we can answer your questions about getting involved in national activities and/or academic librarianship in general. Proposals are due by Monday 12/28/2009. Notification of acceptance will be made by Tuesday 01/05/2010. Please include the following information in your proposal: 1. A cover sheet with your name, title, institutional affiliation (or LIS program), mailing address, phone number, and email address. 2. A second sheet that contains no identifying information and includes the title and a 200-300 word description of your presentation. The description should clearly identify the topic of your presentation, your personal experience with this topic, and how your presentation will contribute to new and aspiring librarians’ understanding of how to incorporate technology tools in library instruction. 3. Keep in mind that there will be no use of technology for these presentations. If your proposal is accepted, you should plan to provide handouts that contain tips, further reading, etc. Please submit proposal by email to Allie Flanary (ACRL NMDG convener) at aflanary@gmail.com.

Public Services Quarterly: Embedded Librarianship

Call for Submissions:  Embedded Librarianship

Public Services Quarterly (PSQ) invites submission of manuscripts for a special thematic issue (volume 6, issue 2/3) on “.” 

 

Theme:

One innovative trend in librarianship is the practice of embedding librarians, putting librarians where their users are. Modeled on the concept of the embedded journalist, an embedded librarian typically refers to a higher order of collaboration between librarians and teaching faculty, where librarians are more fully immersed and participatory in the academic experience.  Embedded librarians spend significant time in the classroom/department, create course assignments and specific research guides, do research with teaching faculty, and may have a presence in course management software. The term “blended librarian” is sometimes used in lieu of embedded librarian. 

 

In this special issue, we seek to explore the practice of embedded librarianship in an online environment and beyond.  Some questions that may be addressed include, but not limited to:

         How do we define embedded librarianship?

         What are the best practices?

         What are effective strategies for embedding a librarian?

         What does it mean to be an embedded librarian in an online environment?

         How do we assess an embedded librarian program?

         What is the future of embedded librarianship?

 

Barbara Norelli, Social Sciences & Instructional Services Librarian at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY, will edit this special issue of PSQ.

Deadlines:

         Manuscript submissions are due March 10, 2010.

         Accepted authors will be notified on April 1, 2010.

         Author revisions are due May 1, 2010.

Please submit manuscripts and direct questions to the special issue editor, Barbara Norelli, at: <bnorelli@skidmore.edu>

Publication:
Public Services Quarterly, a Taylor & Francis Group/Routledge publication, is a peer reviewed journal that examines traditional and nontraditional areas of public service in academic libraries.  This special issue of PSQ will NOT be refereed.

This special issue is scheduled for publication in June 2010 and it may be considered for publication as a monograph by Taylor & Francis.

For more information on Public Services Quarterly and the Instructions for Authors, please visit:

Embedded Librarians

Call for Proposals: Book Chapters for Embedded Librarians
 
Editors of the forthcoming ACRL publications book Embedded Librarians: Moving beyond one-shot instruction, to be published late 2010,  seek proposals for chapters from skilled librarians who have researched and/or implemented an embedded librarian program. The book will provide an overview of embedded librarianship within higher education.  Chapters are sought about strategies for and experiences of creating a long-term embedded presence in multiple non-library settings, both online and in-person. 

Potential topics include:

  • Defining “embedded librarianship”
  • History and background of embedded librarianship
  • Embedding in the first year experience
  • Embedding within departments
  • Collaborating across departments to encourage embedded projects
  • Embedding in online course management systems
  • Embedding in the enterprise
  • Assessing the success of embedded projects
  • Future opportunities in embedded librarianship


 Prospective authors should email a brief CV, a writing sample, and a one-page proposal for their chapter to ckvenild@uwyo.edu or kcalkins@uwyo.edu. Proposals are due by January 30, 2010.

ALSC 2011 Annual Conference

The Association for Library Service to Children’s Program Coordinating Committee is now accepting proposals for innovative, creative programs that have broad appeal for the 2011 ALA Annual Conference to be held June 24-27, 2011 in New Orleans, LA.

The committee is looking for a wide range of themes and topics such as advocacy, multiculturalism, administration and management, early literacy, research, partnerships, best practices, programming, outreach and technology.

You may find the ALSC Program Proposal forms at this site: http://www.ala.org/alscevents, then under “ALSC activities at the 2011 ALA Annual Conference” click on “program proposal.”

ALSC committees, members, and other interested individuals are welcome to submit a proposal. Individuals who are not members of an ALSC committee may want to seek a letter of support from an appropriate ALSC committee to strengthen their proposal. Please note that participants attending ALSC programs are seeking valuable educational experiences. Presentations should avoid being too limited in scope. The Program Coordinating Committee will not select a program session that suggests commercial sales or self-promotion.

Program proposals are due Friday, April 30, 2010.

If you have any questions you may send them to ALSC Program Coordinating Committee Chair, Diane Janoff, at diane.janoff@queenslibrary.org
