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.

En effet, le concept et le terme de médiation apparaissent dans diverses sciences humaines et sociales (ex. droit, philosophie, psychologie, sciences du langage, sciences de l’information et de la communication, sciences de l’éducation…). Au vu de plusieurs conceptualisations dans ces disciplines, il devient urgent de discerner l’essentiel de la médiation et d’en mettre en lumière les traits conceptuels les plus significatifs au sein de chaque discipline ainsi que de façon transversale à ces dernières. Faisant suite au colloque international « L’essentiel de la médiation. Vers un consensus sur le concept dans les sciences humaines et sociales » (Padoue, 1-2 mars 2018), un appel à publication pour ouvrage est lancé et ouvert à tous les auteurs qui souhaitent participer à un ouvrage pluridisciplinaire et interdisciplinaire de référence sur « l’essentiel de la médiation ».

Africa narrates itself: media, opinions, influential figures
These days communication and information are characterized by immediacy, speed, and interactivity. Facebook and Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, and blogs transmit a perpetual flow of information, shared videos, pictures, and other content which creates networks and incentivizes sharing in a constantly evolving language. Contemporary mass media therefore ensures that, today more than ever, people in African countries are at the same time autonomous producers and users of a debate, through partly traditional, partly innovative channels, about life in Africa and African communities’ identity, with a tale that travels across the borders of individual countries and the continent itself.

Publishing in a changing media environment
New products, new organizations and new research models
The European publishing studies association (EuroPub) aims to foster the exchange of knowledge around the contemporary book trade. This three-day conference brings together industry professionals, educators, and scholars to examine key issues around the digital transformation of the book, as well as to discuss the developing field of publishing studies. In previous years we have discussed topics ranging from the evolution of cultural habits (Building audiences, 2016) to the development of publishing skills (Curation. A perspective on the book industry, 2017). By the Book 5 will focus on innovation in order to identify the nature and drivers of change within the industry.

Building Audiences for the Book in an Age of Media Proliferation
By the book 3
"By the Book 3" brings together scholars from the field of publishing studies, alongside industry professionals, to examine key issues around the digital transformation of the book, as well as to discuss the developing field of publishing studies. If we examine global book production over the last 70 years, there is a clear discrepancy between the growth in population, the number of titles published, and the number of books sold and lent. This divergent trends in book production and consumption pose a set of pressing questions related to the publishing economy, marketing and skills.

Towards a graphic culture: studying drawing
Drawing seems nowadays to know unprecedented expansion and to invest all domains of the expression and the communication: book industries, cartoons and animation movies, video games, corporate communication… And we indeed face kind of a paradox: widely present, drawing seems almost impossible to define and some philosophers like Jean-Luc Nancy even invite us to accept the "unthinkable" nature of the drawing. The international conference we organize on June 15th and 16th of this year in the villa Finaly of Firenze (Italy) does not intend to adopt similar position. Without wishing necessarily to produce a definition of the drawing, we intend to progress towards its understanding.

By the book. The book and the study of its digital transformation
This two-day conference brings together scholars from the field of publishing studies to examine key issues around the digital transformation of the book, as well as to discuss the developing field of publishing studies. Analysed will be a key set of questions. How is the landscape of the book in Europe changing due to digital transformation? How will terrestrial bookshops survive the growth of ebooks? Are there international forces for change which will affect all markets, and what domestic factors will prevail? What is the connection between the spread of English as the global lingua franca and the growth of digital publishing?

Open Access platforms: models, trends and problematics
L’Associazione Italiana Biblioteche organise le 25 mars à Florence une journée d’études intitulée Les plateformes en Open Access : modèles, tendances, défis. L’Open Access est aujourd’hui un sujet stratégique pour les bibliothèques universitaires. De meilleurs résultats de l’accès ouvert aux publications universitaires sont obtenus quand celles-ci les diffusent sur des plateformes qui les rendent facilement identifiables et accessibles. Les plateformes de dimension européenne et internationale jouent un rôle important dans le développement de l’Open Access quand elle sont relayées par des acteurs provenant de plusieurs pays qui eux mêmes collaborent directement avec les communautés scientifiques qui produisent des publications. Les plateformes en Open Access ont également un rôle à jouer dans le développement d’outils bibliométriques qui facilitent le peer reviewing et optimisent la diffusion des contenus.

The Linked TEI: Text Encoding in the Web
The Text Encoding Initiative's annual conference and members' meeting is the gathering point for the TEI community. It offers an opportunity to meet with colleagues, learn about new projects, share research, and find out about new developments in the TEI. Originally structured around the annual TEI business meeting and election, the event has more recently expanded to include a full academic conference program with peer-reviewed papers, posters, tool demonstrations, and meetings of the TEI special interest groups. The conference and members' meeting is also and excellent opportunity for businesses and other organisations in the Digital Humanities community to reach active researchers through sponsorship and other support activities. -

Tracking Innovation through Grey Literature
Fourteenth International Conference on Grey Literature
Innovation is a process manifested in and through grey literature. Both have their origins in knowledge generation and both demonstrate value for government, academics, business and industry through their uses and applications. In a way, innovation and grey literature are two sides of the same coinage. Innovation is the catalyst for positive change and grey literature is the measure of benchmarks in the further process of research and development. The goal of the Fourteenth International Conference on Grey Literature seeks to track the process of innovation by tracing the research life cycle and observing its convergence in the field of grey literature. -

Net Powers. Freedom and Control in the age of the web
« Poteri nella rete. Libertà e controllo dell’informazione nell’era di Internet ». Nel seminario Enrico Pedemonte e Glauco Benigni dialogano con Teresa Numerico e Domenico Fiormonte. L’incontro, aperto a tutti, è l’occasione per riflettere sulle contraddittorie tendenze dell’informazione e del giornalismo in rete, sempre più in bilico fra entusiasmi libertari e politiche securitarie. I due invitati, entrambi scrittori e giornalisti per testate come Repubblica e L’Espresso, offrono nelle loro recenti pubblicazioni prospettive diverse e originali sull’evoluzione del quarto potere in rete. -

Normativité technique et gouvernance d’internet : dimensions socio-technique et socio-éthique
Troisième séance du séminaire IG3T (Internet Governance: Transparency, Trust and Tools)
La normativité technique d’Internet pose un problème d’autant plus aigu que ses dimensions socio-technique et socio-éthique sous-jacentes demeurent le plus souvent soustraites à toute forme de critique réflexive. Les dispositifs techniques (supports, systèmes, réseaux) sont souvent représentés comme des objets complexes, mais qui, du point de vue de la normativité, relèvent d’une sorte de neutralité structurelle et fonctionnelle. Or, il importe d'ouvrir la « boîte noire » de la technique afin d’identifier et de discuter les formes de normativité que ces dispositifs véhiculent, avec ou sans volonté délibérée de la part de leurs concepteurs. Il s’agit en particulier de déterminer jusqu’à quels degrés et selon quelles modalités les systèmes de décision et de régulation qui ont à gérer les normes techniques d’Internet (a) peuvent intégrer des conceptions socio-techniques et socio-éthiques dans leur développement, (b) peuvent s’ouvrir à des contre-pouvoirs politiques. -

L'informatique et les périodes historiques
Écritures, sources, bases de données: confrontations des spécificités
Il seminario di Firenze, ospitato dall’Università di Firenze e dall’European University Institute, costituisce la terza tappa di un progetto dedicato a “informatica e storia” avviato nel 2006 dal LAMOP dell’Université Paris I, per iniziativa di Jean-Philippe Genet, insieme con i portali medievistici Reti medievali e Ménestrel e il sostegno dell’École Française de Rome. Il progetto è finanziato dall’Agence Nationale pour la Recherche come “programme ATHIS (Atelier Informatique et Histoire)”, e si concluderà nel 2008.Promosso da storici del medioevo, il progetto ha l’ambizione di tracciare un bilancio dei risultati conseguiti negli ultimi decenni dalle trasformazioni che il ricorso all’informatica hanno introdotto nel mestiere di storico. Il confronto non si limita ai medievisti ma si apre agli studiosi della altre discipline storiche, umanistiche e sociali. Dopo i primi due seminari, dedicati ai temi degli archivi e dell’open archive (Roma, 23-25 marzo 2006), e del trattamento informatico dei testi (Lyon, 27-28 novembre 2006), l’incontro di Firenze dell’aprile 2007 intende soffermarsi sulle specificità degli approcci, dei metodi e dei linguaggi degli storici dei diversi periodi (antico, medievale, moderno e contemporaneo, secondo le partizioni accademiche tradizionali), mettendo a confronto le diverse esperienze intorno a tre ambiti del mestiere di storico: il rapporto con la scrittura, a partire dalle riformulazioni suggerite dai nuovi media e dall’ipertestualità; l’uso delle fonti, crescentemente disponibili in formati digitali, in archivi virtuali, in portali web di ricerca; e la gestione di basi di dati, depositi di informazione ma anche potenziali strumenti euristici
