Contemporary editorial policies and practices
The "academic library" from the 19th century to the digital age (2020/2021)
Le séminaire étudie l'organisation du travail intellectuel et de l'activité scientifique à partir de l'histoire des publications du XIXe siècle à aujourd'hui. À l'issue d'une enquête sur les revues scientifiques, la session 2020-2021 reprendra la problématique de l'articulation de l'ensemble des publications produites dans un champ disciplinaire, à partir de deux exemples, l'archéologie et la physique, dans une perspective chronologique large. Il approfondira également les liens entre écrit, publication et outillage documentaire au milieu du XXe siècle, à partir d'études de cas (expositions et musées documentaires).

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.

The digital library and collective intelligence
Is the digital revolution the consecration of the "humanities"?
Pour les études littéraires, le numérique constitue un nouveau continent que la critique doit à présent explorer voire conquérir. Incarnation postmoderne de la bibliothèque de Babel, le monde numérique mêle la diversité des langues humaines à la multiplicité des formats informatiques (langages de programmation, interopérabilité des logiciels, formats de fichiers, etc.). Ce bouleversement technologique provoque une évolution des instances traditionnelles associées à la littérarité. Une redéfinition des axiomes hérités du marché du livre occidental semble donc s’imposer. Dans le cadre de cette journée, nous aimerions ainsi proposer une analyse des principes aux fondements des dispositifs numériques susceptibles d’être employés dans le cadre de la recherche en lettres et sciences humaines.

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.

“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.

Seminar - Epistemology and methodology
Journal transition from subscription model to open access
De Gruyter webinar
Serial crisis, sky-rocketing subscription prices as well as more and more widespread and powerful OA mandates have pushed many publishers to rethink the finance of publishing the journals. Considering a switch calls out numerous challenges but it is a path more and more travelled – and importantly so an economically – sustainable and one with long-term benefits – not only for readers, but also for authors and the journal owners, too. In 2014 De Gruyter converted 14 journals to OA – this webinar looks at overarching strategies for journal transition from subs to OA – including current OA publishing landscape and single factors (like managing submissions, citations and funding) that play a role during the process. Is it worth it? Who will foot the bill? What to expect? And how to bring the EAB on board? The introductory one-hour webinar is built around three sections to allow participants to work out the flipping strategy for their publication and to timely and reasonably plan the change.

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?

Publishing differently - small publishers, independent journalists and bloggers in Russia
Petits éditeurs, journalistes indépendants et blogueurs en Russie
Depuis le début des années 2000, la question de la transformation de l'espace public est au cœur des réflexions sur les évolutions politiques et sociales en Russie. Dans un contexte marqué à la fois par un resserrement autoritaire du pouvoir et un élargissement des possibilités de publication (notamment en ligne), des tensions et des conflits permanents, parfois violents, traversent le monde médiatique russe.

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.

Figures of media variations: strategies, discourses, measures
Call for articles for the 2014 issue of the Les enjeux de l’information et de la communication journal
Quels sont les processus de conception, de circulation, de réécriture et de diffusion induits par les inter-relations entre supports médiatiques ? Les agencements de dispositifs d’information et de communication peuvent prendre de multiples formes : webdocumentaire associé à un docufiction télévisuel, récits transmédias, blogs de bande-dessinées, marketing expérientiel déclinant un produit unique sur différents médias... Les travaux attendus prendront en compte les productions et les réalisations dans le domaine de la variation médiatique à partir des dimensions sociales, discursives et organisationnelles des pratiques et des projets professionnels, et à partir de la circulation des objets sémiotiques d’un média à l’autre.
