From EEdwards at ILSOS.GOV Wed Dec 21 15:52:27 2022 From: EEdwards at ILSOS.GOV (Edwards, Eric A) Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2022 15:52:27 +0000 Subject: [ArchivesSpCollig] call for contributions: hybrid iPRES 2023 conference (Sept. 19-23, Tues.-Sat., on-site in Urbana-Champaign)--deadline Fri., March 10 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Please excuse any cross-posting. (via Caitlin Perry, International Image Interoperability Framework) On behalf of the iPRES (International Conference on Digital Preservation) 2023 Program Committee, we are very pleased to announce that the Call for Contributions for iPRES 2023 (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ipres2023.us/call-for-contributions/__;!!DZ3fjg!6gU7of9ladpvy9PuqeG3gDTgcz8xr9_zZmEgvMJkkAW0_DGxQIFZUX7EjSOuZfmtG7zXtilQRVs8my_b8KUPTROLZuw$ ) is now open. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Chicago Collections Consortium will host iPRES 2023 from Tuesday, September 19, to Saturday, September 23, in Urbana-Champaign, IL, with a hybrid option also available. With an incredible diversity of experiences and knowledge to share, we are excited to facilitate connections between digital preservation researchers and practitioners from all over the world. iPRES 2023 will be a hybrid conference. We invite original contributions that will develop new directions for preservation research, practice, and policy; discuss trends in the field that will influence future work; and explore new ways of understanding the changing nature of information. We welcome submissions from researchers and practitioners who work with digital objects in a variety of contexts. Our goal is to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue about the challenges and opportunities for preserving the world's digital content over time, while strengthening the capacity, resiliency, and equity of the digital preservation community. While we strongly encourage on-site participation for those presenting on the program, a limited number of remote presentation opportunities will be provided. Call for Contributions At this time, we welcome full papers and short papers, as well as proposals for workshops, tutorials, posters, and panel discussions. (Please note that a call for ad hoc contributions will be released on May 8th, 2023.) All submissions are welcomed, especially those which relate to the overall conference theme Digital Preservation in Disruptive Times. We reflect on our responsibility not only to foster preservation, but also to ensure that society can make use of the incredible amount of data, information, and records that we are stewarding-or that have not been, to date, incorporated into our libraries, archives, and museums. Taking this theme as a point of departure, iPRES 2023 encourages contributions that address any of the following topics: * Digital Accessibility, Inclusion, and Diversity * Sustainability: Real and Imagined * We're All in this Together * From Theory to Practice * Immersive Information We particularly welcome contributions from researchers and practitioners who are directly involved in digital preservation projects or who have a strong interest in the subject matter. We encourage submissions from those working at all levels within the field. This includes project leaders and those with initiatives to advance digital preservation as part of their work or professional responsibilities. You can find details about the submission process and the conference topics now online at ipres2023.us. Please remember that this Call will close on Friday, March 10, and that there is no intention to extend the Call for Contributions beyond this date. Eric A.

Please feel free to pass this call along to colleagues and students who may have an interest in publishing with us. About The Primary Source, the official journal of the Society of Mississippi Archivists, is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to supporting the research of archivists, librarians, and historians in Mississippi and beyond. Student papers are welcomed and encouraged. Journal Contents The Primary Source welcomes research articles, case studies, systematic literature reviews, and professional resources. Topics that might be appropriate for The Primary Source include, but are not limited to: * Archives management (e.g., staff and resource management; designing, implementing, and managing long- and short-term processing projects; etc.) * Innovative processing techniques and procedures * Innovative approaches to reference, instruction, and access * Community outreach * Archives and archivists in public libraries, museums, and other non-academic library settings * Exhibit design and implementation (digital and non-digital) * Reviews of books of interest to archivists, librarians, and historians The Primary Source welcomes the following article types: * Research Articles describe original research completed by the author(s). Research methodologies may vary. These forms of papers should contain original research questions, a strong review of the literature, a summary of the methods and limitations of the study, results, discussion, and conclusion. The discussion and conclusion should consider the implications of the research and suggestions for future studies. Most important, these forms of papers should be replicable. (Suggested length: 6,000 words) * Case Studies detail actual experiences within the author(s) organization(s) and offer a means for comparison or replication in a different environment. These papers should include a strong review of the literature and a detailed description of the situation and location. The situation should be new or implemented in an original way. The discussion and conclusion should consider the relevance outside of the situated reported. (Suggested length: 3,000 words) * Literature Reviews are systematic studies that offer exhaustive reviews of existing current literature in a particular subject area. Systematic reviews must be original and must differentiate themselves from similar studies, especially if a similar topic has been covered in recent literature. The review of literature should be extremely comprehensive and should primarily ? if not exclusively ? contain peer-reviewed articles. This type of paper should also contain a clear and detailed description of the methodology for gathering the literature. The discussion and conclusion should consider the relevance of the findings. (Suggested length: 6,000 words) * Professional Resources include annotated bibliographies, essays reviewing current developments, or other essays designed for practical use. (Length varies) Submission Requirements Articles submitted for peer review should be between 3,000 and 6,000 words (depending on article type) and follow the Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition), notes and bibliography format. Manuscripts should be submitted as a Word document. Text, including block quotations, should be 12 pt Times New Roman font and double-spaced. Figures and tables are acceptable and should be embedded in the text with short, descriptive captions. The author's name and contact information should appear only in appropriate fields in the submissions manager, not on any submitted documents. Authors will also be required to submit a 250-word abstract and cover letter to the submissions manager; do not include these in the manuscript.
