Betreff: Special Issue on Electronic Records 2nd CALL FORPAPERS
Dear Karsten,
Against better judgement I have agreed to act as editor for an issue of an
academic journal, and now I'm trying hard to get contributions. I would
like to ask you to spread the message below to the German colleagues. I'm
very grateful if you can do me that favour. By the way, is there any
archival listserv in Germany?
Best wishes,
Anneli

Special Issue on Electronic Records 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
Human IT hereby invites paper submissions for a special issue on
"Electronic records" scheduled for release late spring 2007.
The last decades' development of ICT, changes in organizational structures
and work processes, and political concerns about democracy and access to
information have provided challenges for archives and record-keeping
practices as well as for the foundations of archival theory.
These changes have caused a need for new practices, but have also
generated new research issues concerning authenticity and reliability,
legality, and preservation technologies. The field has a
multi-disciplinary character, including for instance archival science,
informatics and law.
Contributions may relate to a broad range of topics, including (but not
limited to):
Access to electronic records
Use and users' needs
Record-keeping and Electronic Governance
Personal Information Management
Management of hybrid systems
Preservation of cultural heritage
Case studies - implementation of standards, guidelines and best practices,
for instance ISO 15489, Moreq, OAIS etc.
Anneli Sundqvist at the Department of Information Technology and Media,
Mid Sweden University, Sweden, will act as guest editor.
We welcome and encourage all contributions on these or other aspects of
Electronic Records before February 15, 2007.
The journal web site, including author instructions and the full-texts of
previous issues, is available at: http://www.hb.se/bhs/humanit/
For further information, please visit the web site or contact our guest
editor Anneli Sundqvist at anneli.sundqvist at miun.se

Human IT is a multidisciplinary, scholarly e-journal dedicated to research
and discussion about digital media as communicative, aesthetic and
ludological instruments. It is published by the Centre for Information
Technology Studies as a Human Science, which is a joint initiative by the
departments at the University College of Borĺs, Sweden.
Human IT publishes scholarly articles, essays and reviews, and encourages
the participation of academics and practitioners alike. Contributions in
Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and English are accepted, and up to this point
the journal has had a predominantly Scandinavian scope. However, an
increasing part of the material is written in English and reaches an
international audience. Submitted manuscripts can either be considered for
the journal's refereed section (double blind peer review by external
referees) or its open section (reviewed by the editorial board and the
guest editor). Authors should specify for which section they wish their
contributions to be considered.

Subject: 2007 Digital Preservation Award - call for entries
The Digital Preservation Coalition is delighted to announce the call for
entries for the third Digi tal Preservation Award.
Are you completing an exceptional digital preservation project? If so, why
not apply for the Digita l Preservation Award, worth Ł5000.
This is the eleventh anniversary of the Conservation Awards, sponsored by
Sir Paul McCartney, and i s the third year to include the prestigious
Digital Preservation Award, which recognises the many n ew initiatives
being carried out by museums, libraries, galleries and archives in the
challenging f ield of digital preservation.
The Awards will be presented at the British Museum on the 27th of
September 2007. Short-listed appl icants attract significant publicity,
and receive a certificate recognising their achievement at th e
presentation event.
To be eligible for the Digital Preservation Award, a project must
demonstrate leadership and advanc ement in digital preservation which will
benefit the UK. It must focus on preserving digital materi als (whether
"born digital" or digitised copies), rather than on the use of
digitisation as a prese rvation reformatting tool. Only projects that have
been completed by 31 March 2007 will be consider ed for the Award.
Applicants from overseas are welcomed, providing that the project can
demonstrate benefit to the UK .
The deadline for applications is 31 March 2007.

DPA/07 application form on the Conservation Awards website:

4. New call for proposals: Culture Programme 2007-2013
On 7 November the European Commission published a conditional call for
proposals: Support for cultu ral actions.
This call has three strands:
Strand 1.1 Multi-annual Co-operation Projects
Strand 1.2.1 Co-operation Measures
Strand 1.2.2 Literary Translation
The call does not specify any themes or target groups.
The deadline for all strands is 28 February 2007.
The call is conditional because the European Commission's proposal
relating to the Culture programm e has not yet been formally adopted by
the EU legislature. The call therefore has a precautionary c lause.
Information on the call can be found at:

5. Empowering libraries through Open Source solutions: launch of eIFLOSS

Empowering libraries through Open Source solutions: launch of eIFL OSS
program
PRESS RELEASE
November 7, 2006
eIFL Open Source Software kick-off meeting
Cupramontana, Italy, 29-30 October 2006
On 29-30 October 2006, eIFL.net hosted an international gathering of
software developers, information access advocates and library
representatives at the picturesque monastery of Eremo delle Grotte dei
Frati Bianchi in the eastern Italian province of Ancona. Welcomed by the
Mayor of Cupramontana to "create a new beginning in a place of quiet
reflection", the purpose was to launch a new eIFL.net program to foster
the use of Open Source Software (OSS) solutions for libraries.
"Open Source is all about empowerment", said Art Rhyno, a Systems
Librarian at the University of Windsor and author of a book on OSS and a
report for eIFL in 2005. "This is not about dropping packaged solutions
into resource poor regions, this is about giving people the tools and
training to create their own solutions at the local level", continued
Rhyno. An immediate area of focus is the Integrated Library System (ILS),
typically the biggest technology expense in a library budget and
identified by eIFL members as a priority for new solutions. "The ILS is a
huge drain on a library's resources", said Tigran Zargaryan, eIFL country
representative for Armenia and Head of the Automation Department at
Yerevan State University Library. "More flexible options for ILS will go
a long way towards enabling libraries in eIFL countries to offer more
services and make a greater impact on the communities they serve".
Erik Hatcher, author and a leading developer on Lucene, one of the
world's premier search engine technologies, attended the Cupramontana
meeting. "OSS represents the state-of-the-art in Information Retrieval
(IR) systems", said Hatcher. "Libraries can put together systems in ways
that were not possible before and the use of Open Source by libraries
represents a perfect partnership of software and organisations that serve
the common good", he continued. Marek Tuszynski, co-founder and partner
of Tactical Technical Collective (TTC), best captured the spirit of the
eIFL initiative in describing how TTC distribute Open Source Software in
packaged CD collections and organise regional training workshops for
non-profits in developing and transition countries. It is envisaged that
eIFL will model its OSS activities on the innovative and successful
approaches developed by TTC.
The first step is to finalise membership of an eIFL OSS Advisory Board.
This will be taken forward by Tigran Zargaryan and Bess Sadler, a
librarian and software developer for the University of Virginia library,
who will prepare revised Terms of Reference and will work with eIFL to
identify potential partners. Sadler, who has worked as an international
observer and has experience developing software and technical solutions
for indigenous groups in Canada and Latin America, points to the
historical role of libraries as a source of knowledge and empowerment.
"Access to information is vital for any kind of positive change in
society. Libraries do a good job of ensuring this access. Our role is to
support libraries in eIFL member countries, so that a lack of financial
resources need not mean a lack of available knowledge."
