Research Unit on Communication, Organizational Learning and Aesthetics (RUCOLA)
Se särskilt:
Information technology, work and organization:
"We are interested to explore the ways in which emerging information and communication technologies (ICT) affect existing work processes and organizational forms, as well as how they contribute to alter the traditional relations between work and non-work. Our interest is centered on the notion of information technologies as artifacts that play an active role in organizational and institutional processes. We believe that new ICTs not are only redefining the nature of work by creating new identities, professions and communities, they also generate new discourses and disciplines that cross-traditional academic and professional boundaries.
Focus of the research include: the social construction of technology; the role of ICTs in activity systems; the relations between ICT, practice and community; the study the heterogeneous nature of work processes; participative approaches to design and technological change. Work in progress also covers the support to the conception and design of distributed intelligence systems and the exploration of the role of GroupWare technologies in organizational processes."

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue
Information literacy beyond the academy: towards policy formulation
Edited by
Dr. John Crawford,
Glasgow Caledonian University
Information literacy has not been chosen as a subject for an issue of Library trends since 1991 vol. 39 (3) Winter 1991: Toward Information Literacy -- Innovative Perspectives for the 1990s http://www.ideals.uiuc.edu/handle/2142/5379/browse?type=dateissued
The issue was heavily focused on the Higher education sector. Since then research, development and practitioner activity has moved on and activity and research and development work around information literacy also takes place in career choice and management, employability training, skills development, workplace decision making, adult literacies training and community learning and development, public libraries, school and further education, lifelong learning and health and media literacies. Information literacy has matured sufficiently to have become a national and international policy issue as evidenced by President Obama’s proclamation http://www.whitehouse.gov/assets/documents/2009literacy_prc_rel.pdf and such international statements as the Prague Declaration of 2003. http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=19636&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html
The planned issue which will contain 8-10 papers will celebrate this broadening of the agenda by calling for papers on the above subject areas and also those focusing on national and international policy making. Papers submitted must reflect on the wider policy implications of their content and suggest how findings can be more widely applied. Individual case studies and exemplars of good practice without a wider context will not be appropriate. While papers on the HE sector will be welcomed they must focus on information literacy training and activity in a wider or cross sectoral context such as employability training or working with other education sectors such as schools or colleges or the workplace and other non-educational environments. Papers are invited from all information sectors and academia.
Proposals of no more than 300 words to be sent by 15 January 2010 to:
John Crawford at jcr@gcal.ac.uk or polbae2003@yahoo.co.uk
In framing proposals intending authors may wish to be view author guidelines on the journal website at http://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/library_trends/guidelines.html
Decisions will be communicated to contributors no later than 26 February 2010.
Deliver date of manuscripts: 30 November 2010. Each article will be in the range 3,000-10,000 words. All copyright permissions must be obtained by the author. Proof of permission must be sent at the same time that the manuscript is submitted. Articles will be published in Volume 60:1 Summer/August 2011.
