Elena Eine heftige Diskussion über Qualität von Open Access Journalen bzw. Mängel im Peer-Review-Verfahren generell wurde ausgelöst, nachdem John Bohannon die Ergebnisse seines “Experiments” veröffentlicht hat:
Over the past 10 months, I have submitted 304 versions of the wonder drug paper to open-access journals. More than half of the journals accepted the paper, failing to notice its fatal flaws. Beyond that headline result, the data from this sting operation reveal the contours of an emerging Wild West in academic publishing.

Elke It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of Lee Dirks, Director for Portfolio Strategy at Microsoft Research Connections, and a terrific iSchools Organization friend and advocate.
Lee’s work at Microsoft allowed him to work closely with academic and research organizations to help solve some of the world’s most challenging scientific and social problems via collaborative research projects. He was a frequent iConference participant, presenter and sponsor, and very well known to all Conference attendees. His support for the work we do at our Information schools was invaluable, and his presence will be a great loss for all who knew and worked with him.
Lee and his wife were tragically killed in an automobile accident while on vacation in Peru. They leave behind two young daughters.

Ben Wer heute das Feuilleton der Süddeutschen Zeitung aufschlug, hat es vielleicht bemerkt: Mark Greif, laut SZ „einer der wichtigsten jüngeren Essayisten Amerikas“ hat seinem doppelspaltigen Artikel über die Occupy-Bewegung ein kleines wunderbares Loblieb auf die öffentliche Bibliothek als Institution und Symbol des Gemeinsinns eingeschriebem. (Mark Greif: Eine uralte Sehnsucht. In: Süddeutsche Zeitung, Nr. 3/04.01.2012, S. 11) Ein bedrohtes Symbol übrigens, wie die polizeiliche Aussonderungs- und Auflösungsaktion an der Occupy-Bibliothek im Zuccotti Park nur noch einmal mit dem Vorschlaghammer vorführte.

Ben “We are not, and I reiterate, we are not closing libraries. We are retooling”
Im der sonst dem Vorurteil nach ziemlich vorbildlichen Bibliothekswelt Nordamerikas sehen sich wenigstens die Schulbibliotheken aktuell einer Art Erdbeben ausgesetzt. Der aktuelle Beitrag aus der Zeitung The Windsor aus der kleinen Stadt Windsor, Ontario gegenüber dem ungleich größeren, schrumpfenden und ebenfalls bibliotheksschließenden Detroit ist in dieser Hinsicht einerseits nur ein Beispiel von ziemlich vielen und andererseits vor allem aus Gründen der angewandten Sprachforschung am Euphemismus interessant.

Kathrin The iSchools announce that three academic institutions have joined its collective of information schools dedicated to advancing the information field in the 21st century. With these additions, there are now 31 member-iSchools worldwide.
The new iSchools are the School of Library, Archival & Information Studies at University of British Columbia, the College of Communications and Information Studies at University of Kentucky, and the Department of Information Studies at University College London.
“We are delighted to welcome these three new member iSchools,” said Harry Bruce, dean of the University of Washington Information School and current chair of the iCaucus, governing body of the iSchools (www.ischools.org). “All three share our commitment to education and research, and our vision for spreading the iSchools movement around the world.”
The School of Library, Archival & Information Studies at University of British Columbia is located in Vancouver. Founded in 1961, it offers master’s degrees in Library and Information Studies, and in Archival Studies. Its director is Caroline Haythornthwaite, Ph.D. http://www.slais.ubc.ca/
The College of Communications and Information Studies at University of Kentucky is based in Lexington. It offers master’s degrees in Library and Information Science, and is headed by Dean H. Dan O’Hair. http://cis.uky.edu/
The Department of Information Studies at University College London offers postgraduate qualification and training for myriad information professions. The university was founded in 1827, and the department’s director is Professor David Nicholas. http://www.infostudies.ucl.ac.uk/
The iSchools organization (www.ischools.org) was founded in 2005 as a worldwide collective of Information Schools dedicated to advancing the information field in the 21st Century. These schools, colleges, and departments have been newly created or are evolving from programs formerly focused on specific tracks such as information technology, library science, informatics, and information science. The iSchools celebrate their interdisciplinary approaches to harnessing the power of information and technology. While each individual iSchool has its own strengths and specializations, together they share a fundamental interest in the relationships between information, people, and technology.
The iSchools also host the annual iConference, a gathering of information researchers and practitioners from around the world who share the common goal of making a difference through the study of people, information, and technology. The seventh annual iConference is slated for February 7-10, 2012, in Toronto. More information can be found at http://www.ischools.org/iConference12/2012index/

Marlies_Olensky Over the last years, Digital Libraries have taken over a central role in our society. The process of acquiring, creating, processing, retrieving, disseminating, and using knowledge, information, data and metadata has undergone and still continues to undergo significant changes. This includes an ever increasing public access to on-line resources, an evolution in the amount and diversity of resources that are available through this channel, a social shift in the paradigm of how to experience information towards interactive, globally collaborative and personalized approaches, and many more. The European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL) has been the leading European scientific forum on digital libraries for 14 years. For the 15th year the conference was renamed into: International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL). In this spirit, TPDL 2011 aims at providing a forum for researchers, developers, content providers and practitioners for presenting and discussing novel results from innovative research and systems development on Digital Libraries.
Authors are invited to submit research papers describing original, unpublished research that is not (and will not be) simultaneously under consideration for publication elsewhere. TPDL 2011 solicits the submission of full (12 pages max.) and short (8 pages max.) research papers and demos. Topics of interest, and further information can be found on the website: http://www.tpdl2011.org
Important dates
Abstract submission deadline (full and short papers): March 21, 2011
Research paper submission: March 28, 2011 (midnight HAST, GMT -10hrs)
Demo submission: March 28, 2011
Notification of acceptance: May 23, 2011

For 2014 the iConference will move to Berlin, Germany, where it will be hosted by the Berlin School of Library and Information Science at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, in partnership with the following European iSchools: the School of Information and Library Studies at University College Dublin (Ireland); the Royal School of Library and Information Science (Denmark); and the Information School at the University of Sheffield (England).
“On behalf of the iCaucus, I would like to express our gratitude to the hosts of our upcoming seventh, eighth, and ninth annual conferences,” said iCaucus Chair Harry Bruce, dean of the Information School at the University of Washington. “The iConference is a signature event for iScholars and information researchers, and in its first decade has grown into a significant international gathering. Ours is a multidiscipline field, and the iConference serves to bring together information scholars and professionals from myriad backgrounds.”
The iConference is an annual gathering of information researchers and professionals who share a passion for making a difference through the study of people, information, and technology. It attracts faculty, students, and researchers, as well as government and private-sector professionals. All are welcome to join this shared, onsite experience that fosters interaction, spontaneity, reflection, and forward movement.
This year’s conference, iConference 2011, is hosted by the University of Washington, and takes place in Seattle, WA, February 8–11. Registration is open now at http://www.ischools.org/iConference11/registration/
Plans are already underway for iConference 2012, which will be hosted by the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada. Dates will be announced shortly. This seventh annual gathering represents the first time the iConference has taken place outside the U.S.
