FYI- sorry for cross postings From: CODATA-international [mailto:codata-international-bounces@lists.codata.org]On Behalf Of Simon CODATA Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2016 1:13 PM To: CODATA International <codata-international(a)lists.codata.org> Subject: [CODATA-international] CODATA International Training Workshop in Big Data for Science, Beijing, China; 4-17 July 2016 Applications are invited from early career researchers as well as from research leaders and managers of research institutes from countries with developing or emerging economies to participate in the CODATA International Training Workshop in Big Data for Science, Beijing, 4-17 July 2016. Participation for successful applicants will be financially supported, thanks to a grant from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Applications should be completed on the attached form, providing all the requested information and an academic CV. Completed applications should be submitted to both the addresses below by the deadline of 00.00 UTC on 18 April 2014: - Dr. Simon Hodson, Executive Director, CODATA: simon(a)codata.org - Ms. LI Chang, CODATA-China Secretariat: lichang(a)cnic.cn Workshop Objectives In today’s data-rich world, streams of digital data are being generated from science facilities and myriad sensors (telescopes, video cameras, traffic monitors, magnetic resonance imaging machines, and biological and chemical sensors monitoring the environment etc). Combined with the increasing ability for large-scale storage, communication and analysis, the Data Revolution presents major opportunities for science. The Science International Accord on ‘Open Data in a Big Data World’ http://www.icsu.org/science-international/accord highlights the most important issues to be addressed if these benefits are to be realized. These include the Open Data imperative, the need to maintain the scientific self-correction and the ethical constraints which must be respected. Equally important is the need for open global participation in the benefits of the Data Revolution. Systemic capacity building and targeted training in Big Data and data science are essential if this is to be achieved in countries with emerging or developing economies. Building data science capacity in countries with developing and emerging economies (in part through promoting technical training in data science, in data management and in the implications of Big Data for science) is an important part of CODATA’s strategy. The training program offered aims to engage participants with a number of facets of data science and data management in the Big Data age. Topics include, but are not limited to, interdisciplinary applications of open research data, data intensive research, data management policies, cloud computing, visualization, analytics and data infrastructure development in the Big Data Age. Through a mix of theoretical study, workshop and practical sessions as well as field visits, the organizers aim to help participants develop a deeper expertise in the latest Big Data technologies for scientific discovery. The CODATA International Training Workshop in Big Data for Science shares the objectives and much of the content of the CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer Schools http://www.codata.org/working-groups/research-data-science-summer-schools and is partnering with that initiative. Applications are invited from: - early career researchers with an interest in data science, and - research leaders and managers of research organisations who are interested in putting on a similar short course at their home institution or with partners in their country. A number of activities will be organized involving elite Chinese scientists, in order to promote knowledge sharing and to develop opportunities for future exchanges and collaboration. Participants will benefit also from visits to a number of leading research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). In these visits, participants will have the opportunity to learn from the scientific approach, management expertise, knowledge development and practical application that characterize activities at CAS institutes working at the frontiers of research. Furthermore, the program will promote interaction and exchange of knowledge between experts and participants and among participants who will benefit greatly from exchanges with colleagues for a variety of academic and national backgrounds. On 7-8 July, the International Society for Digital Earth http://www.digitalearth-isde.org/ is convening the 6th Digital Earth Summit http://www.isde2016summit.org/ a major event involving many international experts and in which CODATA is playing an important role. Participants in the training workshop will also benefit from participation in the Digital Earth Summit.

Report on 'Book Talk in LIS' by Sri. L.J. Haravu
by Sunil MV 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Dear LIS Friends, Greetings from MyLISA Mysuru! “Case study approach makes library managers more effective decision makers” - L.J. Haravu, editor of ‘Case Studies for Teaching Library Management’ 'Teachers of Library and Information Science will find the case study method useful in training students and in library management. Typical problem situations faced in libraries cannot be taught theoretically and therefore the Case Method is used. The Case Method can also be used by library managers in effective decision making as it will involve staff at all levels in a democratic manner to address problems related to personnel, that related to users of the library, threats from external competition, particularly from the Internet, and so on' thus said Sri. L.J. Haravu. Sri. L.J. Haravu, Former Senior Manager of Library & Documentation Services, International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) was talking about the book titled, “Case Studies for Teaching Library Management” authored by N.G. Satish and Anil Takalkar published by Kesavan Institute of Information and Knowledge Management (KIIKM), Hyderabad, and edited by him, on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysuru. He was was the invited speaker for Mysore Librarians & Information Scientists Association (MyLISA)’s ‘Book Talk in Library Science Series’. He spoke of the why and what of case studies, how a case is should be presented by teachers and advantages of using this method in involving students in analysis and discussion in problem solving. The role of teachers and students in the use case studies in was presented. A hypothetical Case Study published in the book about the resistance of faculty members in a college to hold on to text books denying students access to these was opened for discussion leading to lively discussion followed by suggestions for solution to the problem presented in the case study. The talk was well received and audience enjoyed the case discussion during the session. Earlier Dr. P. Sarasvathy, Secretary, MyLISA welcomed the gathering the introduced the speaker. Dr. M.

Gentle reminder: Call for chapter proposal
by Swati Bhattacharyya . 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

*CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS* *Proposal Submission Deadline: March 30, 2016* *Changing the Scope of Library Instruction in the Digital Age* edited by Dr. *Swati Bhattacharyya (Librarian, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta) and Dr. K. Rama Patnaik* *(Librarian, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore)* *Introduction* Library instruction originates from Readers’ Advisory Service/User Education and Outreach Service. Earlier, this service aimed to educate users on identifying authentic information quickly and efficiently. However, the scope of this service has enhanced considerably in recent years. Besides, library instruction service is increasingly viewed as part of classroom teaching and thus, teaching is an important component. Current digital age is impacting the contents and delivery of instructional service in many ways. Instructional sessions not only describe various features of a resource, but these sessions also bring issues like the ethical use of information, copyright, value of open knowledge. Librarians are required to help users to learn the use of citation management tools, data visualization tools etc. The new paradigm of education – blended and online education – requires that learners are supported by library instructions in virtual mode. The library instruction in virtual mode is also useful for those who want to learn at their pace. The designing of learning objects for an instructional session – either in face-to-face mode or virtual mode – requires the understanding of Instructional Design and other related areas. Increasingly, library instructions are integrated into classroom activities, and it implies that such programs should be based on contemporary teaching philosophies. Given these changes, the knowledge of the Instructional Librarian on the contents of resources is required to be supplemented by the knowledge of how to create effective instructions. An instructional session has a significant teaching component. The familiarity/knowledge of learning models, teaching philosophy, instructional design, the use of technology, and communication contribute to developing effective library instructions. That the new/additional knowledge is required in this regard is evident from the job description of many positions for Instructional/Reference Librarians. *Objective of the Book* The book aims to report cases of library instructions developed in different contexts. The book aims to capture the large canvass of theoretical frames used from teaching, learning, instructional design, technology use, and communication in this regard. Practical experience with regards to challenges faced in designing instructions for wide range of users, in terms of age group, educational level, disciplines will also be reported. Library instruction is an area which is not taught but learnt on job. The goal of the book is to provide a platform for facilitating that learning from others’ experience and viewpoints. *Target Audience* The target audience of this book will be librarians who are engaged fully or partly with the design of library instructions and imparting those instructions to learners. Specialists in the areas of instructional design, communication in virtual media – they can examine the cases and contribute to this area further. This book will also be helpful for the entry level librarians who aim to pursue a career of Instructional Librarian. *Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:* The chapters will be divided, broadly, in four areas: (A) Theoretical foundation/framework of designing library instructions Papers in this area will devote to the theoretical frameworks from learning models, teaching principles, instructional design, technology use, communication, library and information science and other areas, as applicable, for designing library instructions. (B) Cases of library instructions Papers in this area will report actual cases of designing and offering library instructions. The cases may target specific age group (child/adult), social groups (international students/migrants/learners from underprivileged groups), learners of different academic programs (primary education/secondary education, tertiary education), disciplines specific issues (humanities, social science, physical science and others). (C) Managing library instruction sessions Papers that will address issues related to managing library instructions sessions will be accommodated here. The issues may be challenges in integrating instruction sessions in classroom activities, inter-personal relationship. (D) Instructional Librarian – professional issues A wonderful contribution from established and senior Instructional Librarians will be how they prepared themselves to meet the challenges of this task, in the evolving library scenario, particularly in the technology enriched education system for last couple of years. Besides, reflections on how the LIS education can accommodate this area in view of the new landscape emerging from digital age, both from practitioners and academics, will be an important value addition to the book. *Submission Procedure* Potential contributors are invited to submit a 2-3 page chapter proposal (approximately 2000 words) to the Editor by March 30, 2016 detailing the background, motivations and structure of the proposed chapter. The proposals can be submitted to http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/2148 Authors will be notified in short order as to the status of their proposals and sent organizational guidelines. Full chapters should be at least 8,000-9,000 words in length and are due on July 30, 2016. Final revised chapters are due on October 30, 2016. All chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. *Important Dates* *March 30, 2016:* Proposal Submission Deadline *April 20, 2016:* Notification of Acceptance *July 30, 2016:* Full Chapter Submission *September 30, 2016:* Review Results Returned *October 30, 2016*: Revised Chapter Submission from Chapter Authors *November 30, 2016:* Final Acceptance Notification *Publisher* This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), an international academic publisher of the “Information Science Reference” (formerly Idea Group Reference), “Medical Information Science Reference,” “Business Science Reference,” and “Engineering Science Reference” imprints.
