INFORMATION FOR SOCIAL CHANGE (ISC)
ISSN 1364-694X

CALL FOR PAPERS (Feel free to foreword this message to
friends and colleagues.)

The summer 2007 issue of the online journal Information for
Social Change 
(ISC) will focus on the urgent theme of library and
information workers as 
political actors in times of war, civil war, military
occupation, and 
social conflicts worldwide.

ISC seeks both contemporary and historical submissions that
address such 
topics as:

-- Library and information provision during times of war,
civil war, 
military occupation, and social conflict that provide
insights and 
practical strategies for potential library and information
projects in 
regions of conflict worldwide.

-- Profiles of library and information workers as
participants and 
interventionists in conflicts, as political actors that
offer some new 
possibilities for strategies of resistance, or that
challenge networks of 
military or civil control worldwide.

-- Access to library and information provision and the
information needs of 
oppressed peoples for empowerment and emancipation during
times of war, 
revolution, or social conflict worldwide.

-- Dissemination of information about inside conflicts to
the outside 
world.  Here, ISC is particularly interested in explorations
of how to 
protect the information provider in terms of privacy;
confidentiality; 
freedom of opinion and expression; freedom of thought,
conscience and 
religion; peaceful assembly and association; and protection
from torture or 
cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment as
expressed in the 
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948).

Note: ISC has a special interest in receiving, publishing,
documenting, and 
giving memory to information about conflicts on which very
little 
information has been recorded to date.

Anyone interested in contributing an article, thought piece,
bibliography, 
review, or other work related to the expressed theme is
invited to share 
their ideas with issue co-editors Martyn Lowe 
(<mailto:martynloweusa.net>martynloweusa.net)
AND Toni Samek 
(<mailto:toni.samekualberta.ca>toni.samekualberta.ca).

The closing date for submission is December 10, 2006 (HUMAN
RIGHTS DAY).
Word limits are negotiable with Martyn and Toni.
