CFP: Student Session at the Association of Canadian Archivists 2015 Conference, Regina, June 11-13

Posted: December 29, 2014 | Author: Allana | Filed under: Opportunities: Awards, Opportunities: Calls for Papers, Opportunities: Travel Awards | Tags: archives, Canada, conference travel grants, student award | Comments Off

I feel compelled to share this one with you, even though it’s relatively niche for ArLiSNAP’s readership: Canadian full-time students with something to say about archival challenges and opportunities are welcome to apply. I was on this panel last year in Victoria and it was a brilliant experience with two talented students, and the Foundation grant was very generous. The deadline for 2015 applications is January 12th, and you can find the call here:

http://archivists.ca/sites/default/files/Attachments/professional_development/Conference_docs/2015-Regina/call_for_student_proposals.pdf

Proposals are now being accepted for the annual student session. All full-time students who are
presently enrolled in, or will graduate from, a Canadian Masters program in archival studies in
the 2014-2015 academic year are eligible to apply. The Program Team will select three papers
(15 to 20 minutes in length), each by a student from a different institution.
Thanks to the Association of Canadian Archivists Foundation (ACAF), those selected participants
who do not have full-time employment will receive a bursary (administered through their
school), which covers the cost of the registration fees as well as some assistance for their travel
and accommodation expenses.

Here’s another opportunity to get published, fund a conference trip, and notch up your resume:

The Best Student Research Paper Award is organized by the Association for Information Science and Technology, and rewards a masters-level research effort that in some way involves technology. (Metadata? Cataloguing technology? Arts databases? Digitization techniques? Tumblr for institutions?) The prize includes possible publication in the society’s journal, and $500 to defray the cost of attending the annual conference.

The deadline for submission is June 15th. Your submission needs to fall under the general scope of the Journal of the Association for Science and Information Technology. The award will be presented at their annual conference, in Seattle this year, October 31st – November 4th.

Eligibility:

Any student in a Masters degree-granting institution can submit a paper. Doctoral theses are not eligible.

Papers submitted must fall into the scope of JASIST and must be endorsed by a faculty sponsor for submission to the contest.

Papers submitted should be original manuscripts (not previously published) and should not be submitted to other publications or groups while they are being considered by the Jury.

You’ll need to submit a cover letter with your personal information, the paper (without identifying information), and “no more than two letters of endorsement from faculty sponsors.”

Your work will be judged on “technical competence in information science, significance of information science findings, originality, and clarity of expression.” You’ll find the electronic submission process at the awards page.
