Subject:Call for chapter proposals: New book on library and information sciences for Arctic and Northern studies

 

Dear Ilan Kelman,

I hope you are well.

I wanted to get in touch with you because I found your book "Arcticness: Power and Voice from the North" from 2017 to be instrumental in the writing of a chapter for a book I edited about library and information sciences (LIS) in the Arctic. That book is being published by Routledge this December, details here: https://bit.ly/routarct. I used your book in the writing of the introductory chapter for the Arctic LIS book and wanted to say thank you for putting together such a great volume of work.

I'm now preparing a second edited book on Arctic LIS. This next book is tentatively titled: "Library and Information Sciences for Arctic and Northern Studies." For this one, myself and co-editor Genevieve Parente are looking at the publisher Springer. The call for chapter proposals can be found online here: https://bit.ly/arcticbook.

I'm curious if you might be willing to share the call among your colleagues and listservs who might be interested in this topic? Also, while I realize the topic is outside of your own specialties in global health, we would also welcome a chapter proposal from you if you have any interest or experience in any of the themes mentioned in the call. Please let us know if you have any ideas you'd like to discuss.

Thanks again, and best regards,

Spencer Acadia, editor

Early Career Volunteers needed for the Arctic Ocean Action Plan Task Force

Dear All,

Hope you are well! Apologise for the spam if irrelevant. 
Below is an exciting opportunity for early career researchers with expertise in Ocean science and interest in Arctic region to join the international team developing the Arctic Action Plan of the United Nation's Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (UNDOS) 2021 – 2030.

The UNDOS Arctic process includes several online meetings in Autumn 2020, and the Task Force is currently seeking volunteers to join working groups and contribute to the discussions before the launch of the Decade in 2021.

The working groups are formed around the key goals/societal outcomes of the Decade, namely:

• Group 1. A clean ocean where sources of pollution are identified, reduced or removed.
• Group 2. A healthy and resilient ocean where marine ecosystems are understood and managed.
• Group 3. A productive ocean supporting sustainable food supply and a sustainable ocean economy.
• Group 4. A predicted ocean where society understands and can respond to changing ocean conditions.
• Group 5. A safe ocean where life and livelihoods are protected from ocean-related hazards.
• Group 6. An accessible ocean with open and equitable access to data, information and technology and innovation.
• Group 7. An inspiring and engaging ocean where society understands and values the ocean in relation to human wellbeing and sustainable development.

To apply to join one of the working groups please fill in short application form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2htn4f7gske9KJf2Wxo_muijOSWdDMGHH0okvjn0u8JuVJA/viewform

To learn more about the process, follow the link: https://www.oceandecade.dk/arctic-workshop

Please note, that deadline for applications is 25th September and first meeting is on the 1st October.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Best wishes,

Anna
