Book studies in the 19th century: student work in progress
La culture numérique a profondément bouleversé, notamment depuis les années 2000, le monde du livre. Les pratiques actuelles de création, d’édition et de lecture se reconfigurent en partie autour de nouveaux formats et supports du livre et de la littérature : livres « enrichis » ou « augmentés », livres numériques, livres audio, applications interactives pour appareils mobiles, hypertextes navigables sur le web. Dans ce processus de métamorphose, l’idée du « livre » – qu’il soit imprimé, numérique ou hybride, « homothétique » ou nativement numérique – occupe toujours une place essentielle, mais penser ses formes, sa production, sa diffusion, son positionnement au sein de la culture ne peut désormais faire l’économie d’une réflexion sur les conséquences de l’entrée dans l’ère numérique. Les études sur l’édition, le livre et son histoire doivent ainsi prendre acte de ces bouleversements, qui appellent – c’est le constat motivant cette journée scientifique – la définition d’un nouveau champ d’étude, interrogeant spécifiquement le livre – ou les livres – du XXIe siècle.

New shape of sharing: networks, expertise, information
A forum on current issues in European librarianship
The New Shape of Sharing: Networks, Expertise, Information continues conversations begun at the New Directions Symposium held in Frankfurt in 2017. This multi-day forum of panel presentations, a poster session, and interactive breakout sessions on key issues facing Western European collections and public services will encourage both structured and unstructured debate. We will advance our understanding of the challenges and initiate action in three areas: design new models for collaborative collection development and services; explore a growing range of content and format types and what they mean for libraries and researchers, and highlight the evolving role of libraries and librarians in the research process.

Open Information Science Review
Since its inception, the digital humanities has considered the question “what is it to be human in relation to machines in the digital age?” This issue of Open Information Science asks for papers that consider how we can understand “digital wellness” as part of the ongoing inquiry into what acts, representations, and understandings exist around human-ness in the digital era. Particularly, this volume seeks to explore the possibilities of digital wellness provided through a range of disciplines and forms. We invite papers which consider architectures, platforms, and diverse disciplinary engagements with the opportunities and challenges surrounding digital wellness.

Writing/Translating social media
Social media are now an integral part of our daily lives and the plurality of uses and misuses of those tools is striking : they range from personal interactions to corporate advertising or political campaigning, and from passive consumption of content to creative practices. Through their interfaces and because of their relation to time and topicality, social media trigger specific modes of writing and translating; they also impact the whole chain of publishing, redefine readership and raise archival issues. On could also mention the recent concentration of mainstream media within the GAFAM and an increased relianceon machine-generated content. We therefore welcome contributions that examine the process of writing and/or translating social media from a creative writing, translation studies, institutional, sociological or economic perspective.

Text as object in the Middle Ages
The International Medieval Congress (IMC) is the largest medieval studies conference in the world. In line with the Special Thematic Strand in 2019 “Materialities” and the recent creation of the strand “Manuscript studies”, we organize sessions on “Text as object in the Middle Ages”. Texts, indeed, are at the same time an idea and a form. The latter is the result of a combination of inherited social uses and specific intentions by the various actors involved in transmitting the text as idea. This process begins with the authors, continues to the craftsmen (parchment and paper makers, copyists and chancery clerks, painters and illuminators, sculptors and weavers, booksellers…) and then on to possessors, readers, archives and libraries. All textual artefacts are concerned: manuscripts, charters, inscriptions, tapestries, seals, coins, etc.

Call for papers - Science studies
“Open Information Science” Journal
The majority of academic papers on the topic of Open Access publishing are available only in fee for use journals. Thus, to make research about open access more widely available, Open Information Science is inviting research, review, and position papers for inclusion in a special issue about Open Access to be published during open access week in October 2018. Especially of interest are papers considering existing models of Open Access (platinum, gold, green, fair) and the controversies surrounding each of them. Works about the development of the Open Access movement and the usage and acceptance of works published openly, are welcome as well. All the submissions will be reviewed by an international panel of experts in the field.

Health Literacy and Physical Literacy in Library Practice
This special issue of Open Information Science seeks submissions related to the theme of "Health Literacy and Physical Literacy in Library Practice." We invite case studies focused on services and programs offered in particular libraries, as well as general analyses of how libraries support health and physical literacies. This special issue seeks to deepen our understanding of how libraries support health literacy and physical literacy through their programs, services, and spaces. We also invite submissions on challenges libraries confront, as well as philosophical and theoretical submissions on the place of health literacy or physical literacy within library practice. Finally, submissions focused on professional or continuing education programs focused on enabling library professionals to better support these literacies are invited. Submissions are invited on library practices in any type of library environment (i.e. academic, school, public). Submissions on public library practices are especially encouraged.

Crowdsourcing as a means to share, enrich and publish heritage sources
The wide variety of these projects, their objects, and their contributing “crowds” is striking: “Transcribe Bentham”, “Zooniverse”, etc. not forgetting Wikipedia. Facing this fact, it seems interesting to allow researchers from various disciplinary origins to gather and question crowdsourcing together. A large number of questions are at stake, from a scientific point of view, but also sociologically and ethically: are there common practices to these projects that are so different in their objects, objectives, data, and contributors? We thus wish, during this international and interdisciplinary conference, to confront theories, reflexions and sharing out of experiences on this subject.

Partant du constat que la plupart des chercheurs sont confrontés à un moment ou à un autre à la question de la marge – qu’elle soit objet de sa recherche ou qu’elle devienne un problème méthodologique –, les doctorants du Centre Jean-Mabillon accompagnés de doctorants de l’EPHE (ED 472 et de ED 188), non spécialistes du sujet mais séduits par ses potentialités réflexives pour les chercheurs en formation, proposent de s’interroger sur la notion et le concept de marge, pris au sens large, le 16 juin 2016 à l’occasion de la journée d’étude annuelle des doctorants du Centre Jean- Mabillon.

Open Access to scientific publications: Between use and preservation of the digital memory
Colloque international sur le libre accès 2016 (CILA 2016)
Après la première édition du colloque qui s’est tenue le 27 et 28 novembre 2014 à Tunis et qui a réuni plus de 150 participants venant de divers horizons : Canada, France, Algérie, Maroc, Sénégal et Tunisie, cette deuxième édition se veut une occasion pour faire le bilan du mouvement dans les pays développés et de s’attarder sur les solutions qui pourront propulser ce mouvement dans les pays du Sud et principalement les pays arabes et africains. En effet, la Tunisie en tant que pays arabe pourra jouer un rôle de révélateur de ce mouvement dans les pays arabes en renforçant les actions et le partenariat entre les différents acteurs de l’information scientifique et technique (IST) de ces pays pour relancer l’appel de Ryadh en faveur du libre accès de 2006 qui n’a pas eu de répercussions concrètes dans la sphère de la communauté des chercheurs et décideurs arabes. Dans ce cadre, ce colloque se veut une participation pour mettre le point sur la préservation et la valorisation du patrimoine culturel et scientifique de Sfax en tant que capitale de la culture arabe, et de toutes les villes et pays arabes.

Narrative, the Digital, and ‘Unidentified’ Media
It seems that narrative today is undergoing a radical change in its "source code". New technologies are changing the way texts are produced, distributed, viewed and read. The conference Poetics of the Algorithm intends to chart the implications of this shift. What does it mean that through digital technologies we can now experience on the surface of a single (touch) screen previously distinct media, artefacts and events such as literature in codex form, comic books, exhibitions, films, photographs, visual art and so on? Has medium-specificity become an obsolete notion given that binary code and algorithms seem to bypass material constraints?

The book trades and the challenge of the digital
Digital biennial
La Biennale du numérique est un évènement scientifique et professionnel qui veut questionner les problématiques émergentes portant sur l’impact du numérique, à la fois pour les professionnels du livre, les usages de la lecture, le devenir de l'édition numérique, les innovations en matière de production et de diffusion des contenus, ou encore les évolutions de l'accès à l'information. L’édition 2015 se propose d’analyser les transformations des métiers et des formes d'organisation du travail générées par l’arrivée du numérique dans l’univers des métiers liés au livre. Le postulat consiste donc à prendre le « numérique » comme facteur d’une profonde évolution de ces métiers.
