Stop the Meter On Your Internet Use!

The CRTC just made a decision that paves the way for new internet fees to be added to your bill. To stop this we need to raise our voices now more than ever.

This means Internet prices are on the rise for everyone: me, you, and your local libraries who already try to provide Internet access to those who can't afford it at home.

Si vous êtes aussi frustrée que moi, prenez quelques secondes pour remplir la pétition contre cette décision en ligne! J'ai aussi pris le temps de le partager sur mon compte Facebook.
Don't complain while making dinner, speak up!

79ème congrès de l’ACFAS


Appel de communications

Colloque tenu dans le cadre du 79ème congrès de l’ACFAS
Université de Sherbrooke, 12-13 mai 2011

Thématique et objectifs du colloque

De par leur popularité, les messages textos (aussi appelés SMS) sont devenus un véritable phénomène de société. Utilitaires, ludiques, informatifs, ils peuvent remplir une multitude de fonctions et varier selon les utilisateurs eux-mêmes, les environnements sociaux et linguistiques dans lesquels ils se trouvent et les objectifs qu’ils visent. Cette variation pose d’importants défis pour ceux qui désirent recenser et comprendre leur fonctionnement, les traiter par des systèmes informatifs et comprendre leur effet sur la communication en général.

MIS Accreditation Update

Bonjour à tous,

La semaine dernière, j'ai pu assister à la présentation / mise à jour sur l'accréditation de notre programme. La présentation a été fait par notre directrice Mme Lynne Bowker.

A document summarizing Lynne Bowker's key messages will be sent to all students via the listserv this week; you should receive this in your uottawa account like other ESIS messages.

En attendant la diffusion du message de Lynne Bowker, voici quelques points saillants pour l'instant :
  • nous ne sommes pas encore accrédité comme programme / we are not yet accredited
  • le processus d'accréditation se fait sur plusieurs années (minimum de 5 ans) / accreditation is a multi-year process (minimum 5 years)
  • en ce moment, l'ESIS estime une possibilité d'accréditation officielle en juillet 2013 / ESIS estimates a possibility for final accreditation in July 2013
  • Quand le programme sera accrédité, la ALA accordera une accréditation rétroactive de 1 an / When the program receives its accreditation, the ALA will accreditate students retroactively from 1 year back
  • L'Université d'Ottawa reconnaît ceux et celles qui terminent le programme ce printemps; ces étudiants contribuent au processus-même de l'accréditation. L'Université s'engage à assurer l'accréditation de tout diplômé une fois le programme accrédité / The University of Ottawa recognizes those who are finishing the program this spring. These students contribute directly to the accreditation process. The University of Ottawa is committed to accrediting all graduates of the program once ESIS gets its accreditation.
Comme il sera décrit dans le message de Lynne Bowker, les étudiants seront appelés à participer à des groupes de discussion cette session pour partager leurs opinions et impressions du programme. Cette étape importante contribuera au processus d'accréditation - impliquez-vous.

As it will be described in Lynne Bowker's message, students will be asked to participate in focus groups this term to share their opinions and impressions on the program. This is an important step in the accreditation process - have your say.

En dernier lieu, je vous partage le message d'ouverture de Lynne (qui d'ailleurs a été le message de clôture aussi) :

Take-away message: We ALL want accreditation for our program; we are ALL working hard to achieve this goal; we ARE making progress towards it and we ARE confident that we WILL achieve this goal.

Réception en l'honneur de maître Ernest Côté et de la communauté de la Bibliothèque publique d’Ottawa | Reception in honour of Maître Ernest Côté and the Ottawa Public Library community

Dans la foulée du 25e anniversaire de l’AABPO, l’Association a créé une bourse d’études pour les étudiants inscrits au programme des sciences de l’information de l’Université d’Ottawa.

La création de ce fonds a été possible grâce à un généreux don d’Ernest Côté (ancien administrateur de la BPO et cofondateur de l’AABPO et du Fonds en fiducie de l’AABPO) et à une contribution à part égale de l’université. Les Amis, la Fondation de la BPO, M. Côté et l’Université d’Ottawa ont contribué à un point tel que la valeur du fonds a atteint la barre des 100 000 $. Les bourses d’études qui seront accordées aux bibliothécaires en devenir issus de la région de la capitale nationale seront donc versées grâce aux intérêts générés par le fonds.

L’école des sciences de l’information avait une réception en l'honneur de maître Ernest Côté et de la communauté de la Bibliothèque publique d’Ottawa à l’Université d’Ottawa le 12 janvier 2011. Nous avons entendu le professeur Antoni Lewkowicz (Doyen de la Faculté des arts), Cindy Streefkerk (la présidente de l’AABPO), et le charismatique M. Ernest Côté.
____________________________________________________________________________
In recognition of FOPLA’s 25th anniversary, the Friends created a scholarship for students of the Information Studies program at the University of Ottawa.

The fund was started with the help of a generous donation from Mr. Ernest Côté (a former OPL Trustee and co-founder of FOPLA and the FOPLA trust fund) and a matching contribution from the university. The Friends, the OPL Foundation, Mr. Côté, and the University of Ottawa contributed enough for the fund to reach $100,000 so scholarships for future librarians from the National Capital Region can be awarded from the interest earned from the fund. We will be able to offer eligible students a $2000 scholarship each year (and perhaps two scholarships in a year if we’re lucky!).

The School of Information Studies celebrated this accomplishment on January 12th, 2011 with a reception to honour Mr. Ernest Côté and the Ottawa Public Library Community. Information Studies students joined us for the celebration and we heard from Professor Antoni Lewkowicz (Dean of the Faculty of Arts), Cindy Streefkerk (FOPLA president), and the charismatic Mr. Ernest Côté.

Informal Association of Canadian Archivists (ACA) Student Chapter

Dear fellow SIS students,

I am a first year student in my second semester and I am looking to start
an informal Association of Canadian Archivists (ACA) student chapter here
at our SI school. 'Informal' would mean that you would not need to be a
registered member of the ACA, we would not need a registered professor to
oversee our group and we would be essentially meeting in the name of our
interest in the archival side of information management.

Essentially, I would like to get together with other students in the
school on a bi-weekly basis to see who is interested in the archival side
of information management in our new school. We could get some speakers to
come talk to us about their jobs, maybe have some informal pub nights and
go to some of the great archives in Ottawa that we have access to but
might not have been to yet, and hopefully more!

Depending on interest shown and how well we can organize ourselves, we
might consider starting a ‘formal’ student chapter next year.

Please email me if you are interested at ehanl053@uottawa.ca, my name is
Emily Hanlon. If there are four other students besides myself who would
like to actively work together, I propose that we begin meeting in early
February.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Emily
