The New Shape of Sharing: Networks, Expertise, Information
Online series on key issues facing Western European collections and public services will encourage debate and surface new ideas. The sessions will focus on three areas: new models for collaborative collection development and services; the growing range of content and format types and their significance for libraries and researchers; and the evolving role of libraries and librarians in the research process. The multiple effects of the pandemic on libraries and academic institutions clearly demonstrate that the topics chosen for the forum—cooperation and sharing of collections, services, and technology among libraries, scholars, and members of the book and publishing communities—are particularly pertinent in today’s library environment.

Performative forms, installations and digital technologies
Ce colloque a pour ambition d’explorer et d’analyser les formes performatives, installations et technologies numériques liées aux œuvres littéraires. Seront envisagés, au travers de différentes séances, trois axes majeurs : 1. Approche épistémologique : conceptualisation des arts littéraires, une pratique-frontière ? 2. Approche littéraire et esthétique des arts littéraires : une poétique de la diffraction ? 3. Des arts littéraires aux écritures numériques : dialogue, hybridation et résonance.

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.

Revisiting library heritage - promotion, mediation and democratisation
Valorisation, médiation et démocratisation
L’une des richesses des bibliothèques réside dans leurs collections patrimoniales. Mais du fait même de leur caractère précieux, inédit voire unique, ces collections restent encore souvent méconnues du grand public, tout en suscitant un réel intérêt et une curiosité scientifique, culturelle et artistique. Rendre le patrimoine accessible et attrayant peut donc être un facteur possible de démocratisation des savoirs, mais aussi un ciment social autour d’un héritage, local et national, commun. Repenser ce patrimoine et sa réception induit en outre une dynamique de la connaissance elle-même, en ajoutant une plus-value scientifique à la valeur intrinsèque de collections qui jusque-là pouvaient sembler endormies de ce long sommeil séculaire des choses oubliées. Le patrimoine des bibliothèques devenant de belles éveillées, comment opérer dans les bibliothèques cette métamorphose qui donne, régénère, renouvelle, modernise et valorise ?

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 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.

Paul Otlet and the protodigital humanities
Cette journée vise à faire le point sur l'œuvre de Paul Otlet afin de la resituer au sein du mouvement des humanités digitales. Paul Otlet en tant que théoricien de la documentation impulse des perspectives nouvelles en matière de systèmes d'information. Cela lui a valu une reconnaissance tardive et un intérêt renouvelé depuis que certains travaux américains en font de lui un précurseur du web voire de la société de l'information actuelle. La journée laisse place à plusieurs interventions autour de son œuvre, de l'intérêt de développer une histoire longue des humanités digitales et d'interroger les perspectives nouvelles qui pourraient être amorcées actuellement.

Uses of the book - soluble and insoluble works
Le numérique vient perturber les limites physiques et temporelles du livre. Livres numériques, livres interactifs, livres modulaires et modulables, récits en construction, blogs littéraires, journaux littéraires en ligne, ouvrages réactualisés en temps réel... Ces formes nouvelles interrogent le concept même d’œuvre aboutie et close. Mais qu’est-ce que l’aboutissement et la clôture d’une œuvre ? Le numérique nous entraîne-t-il vers un monde de flux continu où la notion même d’œuvre risquerait de ne plus trouver de sens économique et culturel ?

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.
