3. PLANETS Testbed Questionnaire - Deadline extended until 15 December

Subject: PLANETS Testbed Questionnaire - Deadline extended
***Apologies for cross-posting***
***Deadline for submissions extended***
Dear Colleagues,
PLANETS needs your help to ensure that we develop the most effective
environment for experimentation in digital preservation as is possible.
Such environments, commonly known as testbeds, are frequently used in
engineering and provide a controlled space in which experiments can be
conducted, controlled, documented, validated, and rerun.
The EU co-funded PLANETS project brings together key national libraries
and national archives, as well as leading research institutes and
technology vendors, in order to deliver a sustainable framework that will
enable long-term preservation of digital content, increasing Europe's
ability to ensure long-term access to its cultural and scientific
heritage. For more information about PLANETS see
http://www.planets-project.eu/
Within the PLANETS project, the Testbed subproject aims to
* provide an infrastructure for testing and evaluating
preservation action (e.g. migration, emulation) and characterisation tools
and services, and to assist the validation of the effectiveness of
different digital preservation plans;
* provide an infrastructure for experimentation for the whole
preservation community and thereby spur the development in the field of
digital preservation;
* facilitate organisations to validate their digital preservation plans
against the PLANETS service infrastructure.
The project team wishes to understand the kinds of uses that the research
and practitioner community might make of the PLANETS Testbed so that we
can ensure that these uses are reflected in its design and implementation.
If you feel that you could contribute to helping us shape the design of
the PLANETS Digital Preservation Testbed please complete the brief
questionnaire at http://www.planets-project.eu/testbed-questionnaire/
We hope that the PLANETS Testbed will be available for use by the
preservation community by the Autumn of 2007.
We will keep the questionnaire open until the 15th of December 2006.
Yours sincerely

Subject: CfP: Rethinking Television Histories: Digitising Europe's
Televisual Heritage : deadline 1 7 January
** Please forward to others that might be
interested **
The aim of the EU funded Video Active project www.videoactive.eu is to
create access to television archives across Europe. The unlocking of
these (largely) closed archives will make their content fr eely available
for educational and academic purposes, on a large-scale international
basis, enablin g an interactive discovery of television's cultural
heritage. Eleven leading archives participate i n this project; and others
are invited to join as well.
Video Active's content selection strategy will be informed by the input of
a wide range of televisi on history scholars. For this purpose a
conference will be held on 19-21 April 2007 at the Strand c ampus of
King's College, Universty of London.The conference is being organised by
the Department of
Media Arts at Royal Holloway, University of London, in co-operation with
the Department of Media a
nd Representation at Utrecht University as part of the Video Active project.
Rethinking Television Histories: Digitising Europe's Televisual Heritage
Call for papers Proposal Deadline: 17 January 2007.
Television historians are currently facing new opportunities and
challenges with the development of
online access to digitised television archive content from around Europe
and beyond.
This conference will explore, compare and critique different historical
approaches to television wi thin Europe, and it will also bring together
researchers, educators, broadcasters and archivists to
discuss the use of, access to and presentation of digitised material.
Papers do not necessarily ha
ve to be international or comparative in scope, but they should seek to
raise issues to be consider ed within a comparative context. Key themes
for the conference are:
* Issues in selecting historical texts: This includes issues of
canons, genres, value (histor ical, aesthetic, quality), periodisation and
archiving.
* Issues in comparative European television history and
historiography: This includes cultura l identity, 'European-ness',
contexts, internationalism, neo-colonialism and diasporas, and methodo
logies for and examples of comparison.
* Contemporary and forthcoming issues in television history: What is
the state of television studies in different countries within Europe and
across Europe? What are the main issues and concer ns that television
historians in Europe are currently addressing or are likely to address in
the ne ar future?
* Web and online resources in education: What are the current
activities taking place in this
field in Europe? What are the models of best practice? How can educators,
researchers and archivis
ts work better to create and sustain effective virtual and online learning
environments? * Television archives and digitisation: What are the
current trends, policies and practises i n archiving, digitisation and
online activity?
* The history of international trade in shows and formats: Papers on
distribution networks, t ransatlantic trade, transnational texts,
co-production and technologies.
The conference will play a crucial role in informing and influencing the
development of the project 's content selection and editorial strategies.
Proposals of 200 words maximum, together with name and
institution/organisation should be submitted
to videoactiveprop at rhul.ac.uk by 17 January 2007.

7. The IFLA UNESCO Internet Manifesto Guidelines
Message forwarded from IFLA-L, the listserve of the International
Federation of Library Assocations

____Forward header_____
From: "Sjoerd Koopman" <Sjoerd.Koopman at IFLA.nl>

Subject: The IFLA UNESCO Internet Manifesto Guidelines
The IFLA UNESCO Internet Manifesto Guidelines
The guidelines takes the Internet Manifesto in a new direction by moving
towards a charter for users, in effect becoming a document prepared by the
library community that safeguards and sets out users' rights to
information on the Internet in libraries. Read more on
http://www.ifla.org/III/announce/announcment-IM-guidelines.htm
IFLA and UNESCO are happy to announce the publication of the IFLA UNESCO
Internet Manifesto Guidelines that have been prepared by IFLA/FAIFE (the
IFLA Committee on Free Access to Information and Freedom of Expression);
and generously sponsored by UNESCO's Intergovernmental Council for the
Information for All Programme (IFAP); and the Swedish International
Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
IFLA Internet Manifesto
The guidelines are based on the principles stated in the IFLA Internet
Manifesto (http://www.ifla.org/III/misc/internetmanif/htm) that was
prepared by IFLA/FAIFE and adopted unanimously by the Council of IFLA in
August 2002. The Manifesto was created out of a perceived need for a
policy document that brought the traditional library values of freedom of
expression and freedom of access to information into the age of the
Internet. Following the adoption, the manifesto has been translated into
19 languages, and adopted by national library associations in 30
countries. IFLA is following the implementation of the Manifesto through
the bi-annual IFLA/FAIFE World Report. To achieve the aims of the
Internet Manifesto, IFLA decided to prepare a set of guidelines that are
specific to Internet access programmes in libraries, and concern service
policies and procedures that will lead to the implementation of the
Internet Manifesto's values in everyday library work.
IFLA UNESCO Internet Manifesto Guidelines
The guidelines offer guidance to library and information professionals,
policymakers, and politicians in drawing up policies concerning public
access to networked information in libraries. They provide a framework for
implementation of policies guaranteeing freedom of access to
information and freedom of expression on the Internet as well as access to
information held by cultural institutions such as libraries, and will
hopefully be of practical help when objectives, priorities and services in
relation to national and local community needs be defined. For the
Guidelines to be relevant to all members of the international library
community, efforts have made to ensure that the specific needs and
challenges of the developing world are addressed. Consultative workshops
have been held in Africa (June 2004), Eastern Europe (March 2005), Central
America and the Caribbean (November 2005) and Latin America (January
2006); followed by a meeting for senior library and information
professionals in London (March 2006). Likewise helpful input to the
development process has been provided by individual library professional
from all over the world, including members of the IFLA/FAIFE Committee.
Future initiatives
IFLA/FAIFE's work on freedom of access to Internet accessible
information began in 2001 and has concentrated on advocacy through policy
development and implementation; and on research through the data
collection process for the World Report and a PhD research project
entitled "To what extent can libraries ensure free, equal and unhampered
access to Internet-accessible resources from a global perspective?" and
completed by Dr Stuart Hamilton in 2005. The guidelines will be
translated and published in print versions; and cooperating with
IFLA/ALP and IFLA's Regional Offices, FAIFE will continue its focus on
freedom of access to Internet accessible information through workshops
aimed at the implementation of the IFLA Internet Manifesto and the IFLA
UNESCO Internet Manifesto Guidelines; thus contributing to the advocacy
work of IFLA and UNESCO to promote the Internet Manifesto world-wide.
