Call for Papers – IFLA WLIC preconference satellite meeting

Theme  - Data intelligence in libraries: the actual and artificial perspectives


Date: 22-23 August 2019

Venue -  German National Library - Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB), Frankfurt, Germany

Library professionals need to continuously develop their data skills to enable themselves to be smarter in the use, wrangling, visualization and application of data.
Likewise, from an artificial perspective, machine agents are dependent on good quality data to be capable to infer and learn from it through a process of knowledge engineering. Libraries should leverage opportunities to implement interventions that could facilitate optimal access to reputable scientific data, thereby fostering the knowledge process by making data findable and available to information agents.
Proposals for papers on topics including but not limited to the following:
  • Collection and analysis of library operations data (facilities usage, IoT devices, building sensors)
  • Programs which provide access to big data in science projects or government databases
  • Projects that mine the long tail of scholarly data
  • Collections as data projects, such as curated heritage and special collections
  • Data literacy programs and/or data science training initiatives
  • The professional issues around data science and data librarianship
  • Infrastructure, frameworks, and applications on which data gathering, cleaning, analysis and visualization can be done
Abstracts are requested in MS-Word or PDF format by 15 April 2019 to Cory Lampert cory.lampert@unlv.edu and Wouter Klapwijk wklap@sun.ac.za. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee and submitters will be notified by 3 May 2019. Full papers of accepted abstracts must be submitted no later than July 15, 2019.
