d graphic novels. She "used the Cleveland Public Library as a prime example=
 of what not to do when housing comics and graphic novels and proposed a cl=
assification scheme for them."

Explore "Museum Origins" in Italy!
Now Accepting Applications for Summer Course

http://bit.ly/MuseumOrigins2013

The Museum Origins course offered by the School of Library and Information =
Science (SLIS) at Kent State University still has openings for the eight-we=
ek, summer 2013 class, which includes two weeks in Florence, Italy, visitin=
g museums and learning about the collectors and collections from which they=
 evolved.

The three-credit course is open to graduate (master's and doctoral) student=
s in any field, from any institution. Alumni of any Kent State graduate pro=
gram also are eligible. Students in the 2012 course came from varied academ=
ic backgrounds, including history, anthropology, classics, business and oth=
er fields, and were enrolled in graduate programs at Kent State, State Univ=
ersity of New York-University at Buffalo and University of Kentucky.

Admission to the course is competitive; only 15 students will be accepted. =
Application materials and additional details, including an informational vi=
deo, are available at http://bit.ly/MuseumOrigins2013. Deadline for applica=
tions is March 1, 2013.

The 2013 course runs from June 10 to Aug. 3, and is onsite in Florence, Ita=
ly, from June 30 to July 12. Students will spend the first three weeks read=
ing, researching and preparing for the trip. The next two weeks, in Florenc=
e, involve touring museums and private collections that will enhance the re=
adings and help build knowledge for a final research paper. Students will v=
isit, among other sites, the Uffizi Gallery, Museo Stibbert, Palazzo Davanz=
ati, Palazzo Vecchio, Museo Galileo and Museo di Storia Naturale. The final=
 three weeks of the class will be dedicated to completion of the research p=
aper. There are no face-to-face class meetings outside of those in Italy.

Kevin Steinbach, from Canton, Ohio, took the class in 2012 as part of the M=
aster of Library and Information Science (M.L.I.S.) museum studies speciali=
zation at Kent State. He said, "This class is what sold me on applying for =
the M.L.I.S. degree. I knew without a doubt that I would get the experience=
 of a lifetime and learn so much by immersing myself in the culture where m=
useums were 'born' -- something you can't get anywhere else."

Michelle Rucker, from Columbus, Ohio, is also in Kent State's M.L.I.S.  pro=
gram. Of her experience in the 2012 class, she said, "Even though I am not =
in the Museum Studies program -- I'm on the librarian track -- this class w=
as still relevant to me. Being there, visiting the museums, walking in the =
same halls as these famous artists and the Medici -- it was all pretty amaz=
ing. And having the local professors as guides added so much more to the tr=
ip than if I were to go by myself."

Each day after visiting the museums, students participate in class discussi=
ons in Kent State's Florence facility, the Palazzo dei Cerchi, a prestigiou=
s building in the historic center of the city, just north of Piazza della S=
ignoria. Medieval Florentine sources date it at about 1280 and indicate tha=
t it belonged to the Cerchi merchant family. Records show that in the 15th =
century, the building was used as studio space for Renaissance painters and=
 later by Cosimo I de' Medici as the ducal printing house. Though fully res=
tored and equipped for state-of-the-art educational purposes, the Palazzo d=
ei Cerchi preserves its outstanding medieval features and decorations.

For the two weeks onsite in Florence, students live in shared apartments ar=
ranged by the university. All apartments are fully furnished and located wi=
thin the ancient city walls and within walking distance of the Palazzo.

The course is taught by SLIS Assistant Professor Kiersten F. Latham, Ph.D.,=
 who leads the school's museum studies specialization. She holds a Ph.D. in=
 library and information management from Emporia State University, Kans.; a=
 master's in historical administration and museum studies from the Universi=
ty of Kansas; and a bachelor's in anthropology from the University of Michi=
gan. She has more than 20 years' experience working in museums in various c=
apacities - as curator, collection manager, director, volunteer, program co=
ordinator, archivist, historic interpreter, board member, exhibit designer =
and consultant.

In Italy, tours and lectures are provided in English by local Florentine sc=
holars.

All the best,

Over the past decade, a significant gap has emerged between the research an=
d development in digital curation, on the one hand, and professional practi=
ces of archivists, librarians, and museum curators, on the other. There are=
 now many viable applications, models, strategies, and standards for long-t=
erm care of digital objects. However, many institutions with a mandate to d=
o this work are either unaware of the options or currently unable to evalua=
te and implement them. There is a need to test, refine and diffuse existing=
 innovations into professional practice.

The Closing the Digital Curation Gap (CDCG) Symposium will address a variet=
y of issues and initiatives related to digital curation capacity building. =
 This day-long event will explore continuing education and development of r=
esources to guide professional in getting started in digital curation.

Speakers will report on a wide range of projects and professional developme=
nt initiatives in the US and Europe.  Interactive sessions will provide the=
 opportunity for audience members to share their own experiences, needs and=
 expectations, as well as providing input on the activities and products pr=
esented by the speakers.

Date: Thursday, March 7th, 8:30 - 4:30
Location: Pleasants Room, Wilson Library, UNC-Chapel Hill
Cost: $25; Students $10
Lunch and Breaks Included

Speakers include:

*       Scott Brandt, Associate Dean for Research, Purdue University Librar=

Kent State University will host the inaugural webinar to launch the KM@KSU =
webinar series (http://kmatksu.iwiki.kent.edu) on Thursday, February 21 at =
noon EST (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=3DKM%40K=
SU+Webinar&iso=3D20130221T12&p1=3D415&ah=3D1&am=3D30).  This opening webina=
r, hosted by Goodyear Professor Dr. Denise Bedford, will introduce the seri=
es format.

Kent State defines knowledge management broadly to include: knowledge strat=
egy and leadership, intellectual capital, knowledge economies, the economic=
s of information, innovation, collaboration and communities, communication =
and culture, knowledge technologies, knowledge architecture, knowledge asse=
t management, organizational learning, knowledge elicitation and knowledge =
representation.
Knowledge management is a practical discipline, and knowledge managers tend=
 to only come together to talk about broad areas of KM at conferences or ta=
lk in small groups at our economic sectors or within our own communities.  =
The purpose of these weekly KM@KSU webinars is to broaden the dialog on top=
ics related to knowledge management.
Any topic, whether practical or theoretical, that touches on any of these b=
asic areas is welcome in the webinars.  The KM@KSU series is launching with=
 some invited presenters to get the series started.  Hopefully, the series =
will continue indefinitely through broad participation from the knowledge m=
anagement community.  A webinar will be offered anytime there is an interes=
t.
If you'd like to submit an idea for a webinar, please go to our website (ht=
tp://kmatksu.iwiki.kent.edu/Submit+Presentations+Request) and submit your o=
wn topic or recommend a speaker or a topic you'd like to hear about.  We st=
rongly encourage students to present their work through this series. We wil=
l do our best to accommodate suggestions.
Webinars will be offered online Thursdays at noon and will typically run un=
til 1:30 p.m.  If you can't join the live presentation, the webinars will b=
e recorded and archived for later listening. You do not need to be a member=
 of a community. There is no cost other than your own time to sign on and p=
articipate.
Webinars are covered under the Creative Commons license, so the basic princ=
iple is open sharing. KM@KSU aims to follow knowledge management ideas and =
share what we've learned so we can advance the profession.
We look forward to hearing your suggestions for presentations and look forw=
ard to growing the community across economic sectors, across different type=
s of organizations and across the globe.

CHAPEL HILL - Dr. Diane Kelly, associate professor at the University of Nor=
th Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science (SIL=
S), has been selected to receive the prestigious British Computer Society (=
BCS) BCS Information Retrieval Specialist Group (BCS IRSG) Karen Sp=E4rck-J=
ones Award 2012. The award will be presented in Moscow during the annual Eu=
ropean Conference on Information Retrieval 2013 held March 24-28.
The BCS/BCS-IRSG created the annual award to honor and commemorate Karen Sp=
=E4rck Jones, a champion of bringing women into the world of computing. Her=
 main research interests focused on information retrieval (IR) and natural =
language processing. Passionate about her goal, she once said, "My slogan i=
s: 'Computing is too important to be left to men. I think women bring a dif=
ferent perspective to computing; they are more thoughtful and less inclined=
 to go straight for technical fixes. My belief is that, intellectually, com=
puter science is fascinating - you're trying to make things that don't exis=
t."
According to the BCS/BCS-IRSG Web site, the award is meant to "encourage an=
d promote talented researchers who have endeavoured to advance our understa=
nding of Information Retrieval and/or Natural Language Processing with sign=
ificant experimental contributions."
"In making the BCS/ BCS IRSG Karen Sp=E4rck-Jones Award for 2012, the Panel=
 strongly recognizes that Diane has made important contributions to:
"The analysis of information seeking behaviors, and to the development of n=
ew experimental methods and systems to support information seeking and anal=
ysis.
"Diane has made several other important contributions to user modeling usin=
g implicit indicators of relevance, the development and analysis of interfa=
ces to elicit richer statements of interest, and new methodologies for desi=
gning and evaluating interactive retrieval systems. Her strong user-oriente=
d work views users-as-people with cognitive tasks," said Ayse Goker, chair =
of the Award Panel and senior lecturer at the Department of Information Sci=
ence, City University London, United Kingdom, and School of Computing, Robe=
rt Gordon University.
"I am extremely honored to have been selected for this award which is named=
 for one of my information retrieval research heroines who made so many imp=
ortant contributions to IR," said Kelly. "All of these people [on the award=
 panel] who I have admired for so long have chosen me as the recipient of t=
his award. It is really unbelievable and moving."
The members of the Award Panel were (in alphabetical surname order):

alborg East, Denmark.

Over the past decade, a significant gap has emerged between the research an=
d development in digital curation, on the one hand, and professional practi=
ces of archivists, librarians, and museum curators, on the other. There are=
 now many viable applications, models, strategies, and standards for long-t=
erm care of digital objects. However, many institutions with a mandate to d=
o this work are either unaware of the options or currently unable to evalua=
te and implement them. There is a need to test, refine and diffuse existing=
 innovations into professional practice.

The Closing the Digital Curation Gap (CDCG) Symposium will address a variet=
y of issues and initiatives related to digital curation capacity building. =
 This day-long event will explore continuing education and development of r=
esources to guide professional in getting started in digital curation.

Speakers will report on a wide range of projects and professional developme=
nt initiatives in the US and Europe.  Interactive sessions will provide the=
 opportunity for audience members to share their own experiences, needs and=
 expectations, as well as providing input on the activities and products pr=
esented by the speakers.

Date: Thursday, March 7th, 8:30 - 4:30
Location: Pleasants Room, Wilson Library, UNC-Chapel Hill
Cost: $25; Students $10
Lunch and Breaks Included

Dear Colleague,

I would like to inform you about our summer 2013 field school, the San Gemi=
ni Preservation Studies Program, now in its 14th year, which is dedicated t=
o the preservation of cultural heritage and offers students the opportunity=
 to study and travel in Italy. Our deadline for applying is March 15, 2013.

In particular, I would like to inform you about two courses we offer: one o=
n paper restoration and a new program on book bindings restoration:

Introduction to the Restoration of Book Bindings in Italy:
May 26th =96 June 22nd
This course on the restoration and conservation of bindings and their struc=
tural features aims to give an overview of the field of book conservation l=
ooking at the book as a three-dimensional structure at the theoretical leve=
l as well as with hands-on experience. The course will introduce students t=
o the history of book making, especially concentrating on production in the=
 Western culture.

In the workshop students will have an opportunity to make four book facsimi=
les with various historic bindings using traditional materials and techniqu=
es and learn to analyze and document old books in terms of the structure, m=
aterials and state of conservation. They will also perform light preventive=
 conservation including building various types of protective covers.

To learn more about this course, please review the syllabus, which you can =
visit our WEBSITE.

Introduction to Restoration of Paper in Books and Archival Documents:
July 7th =96 August 3rd
This course is an introduction to the restoration of paper in books, archiv=
al material and documents. It gives students an understanding of the nature=
 of paper as a material, its history and the evolution of its use over time=
=2E The focus is on paper, as a support media for writing and printing, and=
 two-dimensional documents. The course also familiarizes students with the =
structure of books and their bindings.

Besides studying the nature of the material, the course investigates the mo=
st common agents of deterioration and the various approaches to restoration=
 of paper. Along with the theoretical lectures, the program includes hands-=
on workshops comprising: exercises in traditional ways of paper making; tes=
ting, analyzing and identifying types of paper, inks, paints, pigments and =
printing techniques; disassembling books, their bindings, and; exercises us=
ing different techniques of paper restoration.

The course will include a field project restoring paper documents from the =
San Gemini Historic Archives and a field trip to Fabriano. To learn more ab=
out this course, please review the syllabus, which you can visit our WEBSIT=
E.

If you know any students, scholars, or others interested in this type of st=
udy, please inform them about our program. We would appreciate it if you co=
uld list our program on your organization's website as an available educati=
onal resource.

We have a 2013 flyer that you may wish to post on your department notice bo=
ard or forward to interested parties. You can print this from our website, =
on our About Us page. Please let us know if you have any problem printing a=
nd we can email you the PDF.

Thank you very much.

Cordially, Max Cardillo
Director
San Gemini Preservation Studies Program

CHAPEL HILL - The Open Planets Foundation (OPF) has welcomed two new affili=
ate organizations to its membership: Portico, a digital preservation servic=
e, and the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the Universi=
ty of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a number one ranked school in the Unit=
ed States.
The OPF addresses core digital preservation challenges by engaging with its=
 members and the community to support the development of practical and sust=
ainable tools and services to ensure long-term access to digital content. I=
ts mission is to ensure that its members around the world are able to meet =
their digital preservation challenges with a solution that is widely adopte=
d and actively being practiced by national heritage organizations and beyon=
d. The international foundation includes members from around the world and =
hosts a variety of conferences and events including webinars and hackathons=
.
"We are delighted these organizations have decided to join us," said Bram v=
an der Werf, executive director of OPF. "Both organizations have a signific=
ant impact on the digital preservation practice on a global scale. The UNC =
brings expertise in research and education, and Portico for digital preserv=
ation services. As members of OPF, UNC and Portico will both play a major r=
ole in the further development of tools which are relevant for the OPF comm=
unity."
Both Portico and SILS are enthusiastic to be a part of OPF.
"Portico values OPF's focus on practical solutions and its emphasis on a br=
oad-based and active community of practise. We share OPF's belief that the =
digital preservation community as a whole benefits from the wide-spread sha=
ring of experience, tools, and techniques" said Kate Wittenberg, managing d=
irector of Portico.
"I am very excited that SILS is joining the OPF and will be helping to exte=
nd the reach of the very successful OPF model and community into the US," s=
aid Christopher (Cal) Lee, associate professor at SILS.
SILS is the first iSchool to join the OPF, and Portico the first digital pr=
eservation service organization. The OPF now has three member organizations=
 from the U.S.

(Please excuse multiple postings.)


If you've thought about getting a master's degree to pursue a career in Use=
r Experience Design (UXD) but couldn't find time to get to class, you'll be=
 happy to learn that you can now earn your degree COMPLETELY ONLINE from Ke=
nt State University.

User Experience Design (UXD) is offered as a 36-credit-hour concentration i=
n Kent State University's Master of Science in Information Architecture and=
 Knowledge Management (IAKM) program. Our graduates have gone on to success=
ful careers at Google, American Greetings and Progressive Insurance, among =
many other major companies.

UX designers engage in a variety of design activities that help produce int=
erfaces that users enjoy using and that also help organizations meet busine=
ss goals. UXD addresses the structural, informational, psychological and em=
otional aspects of what makes a successful user interface, whether it's web=
, mobile, tablet or any other device.

Join us for a free interactive, online open house on Wednesday, Feb. 27, at=
 noon to learn more about the degree program, course scheduling and career =
opportunities in this field. You'll hear from David Robins, Ph.D., concentr=
ation coordinator, and from Rachel Von Hendrix, a current student in the pr=
ogram. You'll also be able to ask questions in real time.

Register for the online open house at http://bit.ly/UXD-27feb2013. You'll r=
eceive a link to the webinar the day before the event. The session will be =
recorded and posted to our website for later viewing, if you are unable to =
attend the live presentation.

On behalf of Richard Counsil...
From: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> [mailto:wla@memberc=

Sent: Monday, February 25, 2013 9:57 AM
To: Allyson Carlyle
Subject: What WLA members need to know about the new Student Interest Group
 Hi WLA members,
 This is Richard Counsil your current iSchool Rep.
 I very gladly want to draw your attention to the Student Interest Group (S=
IG), one of the WLA's new IGs this year.
My hope is that SIG will be alluring to any member of the WLA, including WL=
A members attending iSchools other than the one at the UW. Nothing exclusiv=
e about it.
To give you a sense of the new IG's purpose, here are some of what I think =
are the most important things to know:
 SIG HIGHLIGHTS:

  1.  SIG is a effort to promote professional networking between iSchool st=
udents and the WLA community
  2.  It is an opportunity for iSchool students to gain momentum as active =
and long-term WLA members
  3.  It is a way for everyone in the WLA to more easily engage with iSchoo=
l students in events and planning
  4.  It is also a way for WLA members to draw on the enthusiasm and shape =
the potential of future librarians/library professionals
Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions. I will be promoting o=
fficer and event information soon!
 -Richard

PhD Scholarship: Be a part of creating the future of the information
professions - apply to become a La SCALA doctoral scholar. 

University of Arizona: School of Information Resources and Library Science

La SCALA: Latino Scholars Cambio Leadership Academy

The School of Information Resources and Library Science (SIRLS) at the
University of Arizona is recruiting Hispanic and Latino students to join its
doctoral program, La SCALA: Latino Scholars Cambio Leadership Academy, an
Institute for Museum and Library Science (IMLS) federally-funded program
that provides financial support to students of Hispanic and Latino heritage
who wish to pursue advanced degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM). Recipients of La SCALA funding are referred to as "La
SCALA students." 

The Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program of the (IMLS) provides funding
for La SCALA students. La SCALA operates on the premise that individuals of
Hispanic and Latino backgrounds enjoy unique cultural experiences that
contribute to improving LIS education, while also helping to close the
educational gap between their underrepresented population in STEM fields and
their peers in similar fields. A particular focus of the program is to
assist students to identify how their research can be conducted in the
context of STEM, with the ultimate goal of placing these students in faculty
positions throughout the country. The program emphasizes the role of
academic identity and cultural competence in the intellectual and
professional development of doctoral students, while challenging
participants to step beyond their cultural, social and intellectual comfort
zones.

La SCALA students will be paired with a senior faculty member as the
student's intellectual mentor for the duration of the program, as well as
providing a cultural mentor and a group of peer mentors at the school.
Besides courses and research activity, La SCALA students will acquire the
intellectual and interpersonal skills necessary in their field of study
through a rigorous academic and research program.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics areas include but are not
limited to:
1) Biodiversity informatics;
2) STEM communication, with an emphasis in science data and communication;
3) Electronic publishing, with an emphasis on e-journals as media for
scholarly communication;
4) Knowledge management, with an emphasis on producing a
scholar/administrator;
5) Information ethics, with an emphasis on social justice;
6) Cognitive and affective computing, with an emphasis on decision support
systems.

The selected students will spend three years in active learning and
research, and at least one year of teaching and work experiences. Funding
may be provided for students who need a fourth year to complete the program.
At the University of Arizona, students will have opportunities to work with
researchers at iPlant Collaborative, the School of Geography and
Development, the School of Information Science, Technology and Arts (SISTA),
and/or many field stations such as Biosphere II and the National Optical
Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), depending on the student's academic interests.
La SCALA students also may participate in national research projects with
SIRLS faculty, including the Biodiversity Heritage Library and the
Encyclopedia of Life.

La SCALA students will receive tuition and fee waivers, stipends, health
insurance, a laptop computer, and funding to attend one professional
conference per year beginning in the second year in the program. La SCALA
students will spend one semester of residence with a parallel cohort of
students at the University of Tennessee, School of Information Sciences. A
cohort of University of Tennessee students will likewise spend a semester at
the University of Arizona.

La SCALA Selection Criteria 

*	US Citizenship
*	Hispanic or Latino background
*	Undergraduate/Graduate studies in STEM-related areas

University of Arizona Requirements

School Library Specialization at Maryland's iSchool Receives National Recog=
nition from NCATE


College Park, MD (February 27, 2013)-- The School Library specialization of=
 the University of Maryland's College of Information Studies, Maryland's iS=
chool, recently received national recognition from the National Council for=
 Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). This honor places the Master o=
f Library Science (MLS) program among only a handful that hold accreditatio=
n from both the American Library Association (ALA) and national recognition=
 of its School Library specialization from NCATE.


"The School Library program at Maryland's iSchool prepares students to fulf=
ill the five roles of the contemporary school librarian as leader, teacher,=
 instructional partner, information specialist, and program administrator,"=
 says Ann Carlson Weeks, associate dean for academic programs. "National re=
cognition from NCATE signifies that the coursework has met the ALA/AASL sta=
ndards for the preparation of school librarians as part of the NCATE accred=
itation process."
The School Library curriculum was reviewed as part of NCATE's rigorous accr=
editation process of the College of Education. Within the iSchool, this pro=
cess was led by Mega Subramaniam, assistant professor; Ann Carlson Weeks; a=
nd Sheri Massey, lecturer and assistant director of the School Library spec=
ialization; and assisted by June Ahn, assistant professor, Bruce Ambacher, =
visiting professor; and Master of Library Science and School Library specia=
lization student, Emily Likins-Hohman. Faculty and staff from the College o=
f Education worked closely with the iSchool faculty throughout this multi-y=
ear effort.

Founded in 1954, NCATE is recognized by the U. S. Department of Education a=
s a specialized accrediting body for schools, colleges, and departments of =
education. NCATE and the Teacher Education
Accreditation Council (TEAC) have consolidated and are now transitioning in=
to the Council for the
Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).

DC-2013 will explore questions regarding the persistence, maintenance, and
preservation of metadata and descriptive vocabularies. The need for stable
representations and descriptions spans all sectors including cultural
heritage and scientific data, eGovernment, finance and commerce. Thus, the
maintenance and management of metadata is essential to address the long
term availability of information of legal, cultural and economic value.  On
the web, data=97and especially descriptive vocabularies=97can change or van=
ish
from one moment to the next. Nonetheless, the web increasingly forms the
ecosystem for our vocabularies and our data. DC-2013 will bring together in
Lisbon the community of metadata scholars and practitioners to engage in
the exchange of knowledge and best practices in developing a sustainable
metadata ecosystem.

DC-2013 will be collocated and run simultaneous with iPRES 2013 providing a
rich environment for synergistic exploration of issues common to both
communities.

Nominate Keynote Presenters for the Library 2.013 Conference 

 

Last year, we invited you to nominate keynote speakers to lead the global
conversation about the future of libraries during the Library 2.012
Worldwide Virtual Conference. Thanks to your input, we celebrated a dynamic
lineup of keynote presenters <http://www.library20.com/page/2-012-keynotes>
including Moreno Barros from Brazil, Kathryn Greenhill from Australia, David
Weinberger from the United States, Laura Malita from Romania, and many other
renowned library and information science leaders from around the world. 

 

As we gear up for the Library 2.013 Worldwide Virtual Conference
