Subject: CFP for Human IT: electronic records

Dear all (please xqz any x-postings),

CALL FOR PAPERS: ELECTRONIC RECORDS

The scholarly e-journal Human IT <http://www.hb.se/bhs/humanit/> hereby invites paper submissions for a special issue on "Electronic records" scheduled for release autumn 2006.

The last decades' development of ICT, changes in organizational structures and work processes, and political concerns about democracy and access to information have provided challenges for archives and record-keeping practices as well as for the foundations of archival theory.

These changes have caused a need for new practices, but have also generated new research issues concerning authenticity and reliability, legality, and preservation technologies. The field has a multi-disciplinary character, including for instance archival science, informatics and law.

Contributions may relate to a broad range of topics, including (but not limited to):

Access to electronic records
Use and users' needs
Record-keeping and Electronic Governance
Personal Information Management
Management of hybrid systems
Preservation of cultural heritage
Case studies - implementation of standards, guidelines and best practices, for instance ISO 15489, Moreq, OAIS etc.

Anneli Sundqvist at the Department of Information Technology and Media, Mid Sweden University, Sweden, will act as guest editor.

We welcome and encourage all contributions on these or other aspects of Electronic Records before March 1, 2006.

Human IT is a multidisciplinary, scholarly e-journal dedicated to research and discussion about digital media as communicative, aesthetic and ludological instruments. It is published by the Centre for Information Technology Studies as a Human Science, which is a joint initiative by the departments at the University College of Boras, Sweden.

Human IT publishes scholarly articles, essays and reviews, and encourages the participation of academics and practitioners alike. Contributions in Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and English are accepted, and up to this point the journal has had a predominantly Scandinavian scope. However, an increasing part of the material is written in English and reaches an international audience. Submitted manuscripts can either be considered for the journal's refereed section (double blind peer review by external referees) or its open section (reviewed by the editorial board and the guest editor). Authors should specify for which section they wish their constributions to be considered.

The journal web site, including author instructions and the full-texts of previous issues, is available at: http://www.hb.se/bhs/humanit/. For further information, please visit the web site or contact our guest editor Anneli Sundqvist at [log in to unmask]

Yours sincerely,

Mats Dahlström, editor ([log in to unmask])
