by Michael Zimmer 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Dear AoIR - There was an error in the regular (non-early bird) student rates originally posted to the IR 12 website: http://ir12.aoir.org/registration The correct fees are as follows: Early-Bird (through Aug 31) - Professional: $350 - Professional, bundled with 1 year membership: $330 - Student : $220 - Student, bundled with 1 year membership: $200 Regular (starting Sept 1) - Professional: $425 - Professional, bundled with 1 year membership: $405 - Student : $295 - Student, bundled with 1 year membership: $275 Students will notice that the regular fees are considerably less than originally posted. Apologies for the confusion. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Seattle!

For anyone who missed this: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/02/pentagon-seeks-social-networking-e… I'm having a hard time picturing ways this can be used for anything other than shoring up U.S. state authority. Interesting, at any rate.

Text Analytics and Social Media
by Linda Lou Lichtenstein 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

We are exploring the application of text analytics to the analysis of social media - specifically semantic orientation, sentiment analysis, and ontology analysis - and are looking for sources of reputable research, particularly in ontology analysis. Is anyone aware of articles that compare models of ontology management in text analytics for social media? And, can deficits in the current research be identified? Thank you, Linda Lichtenstein Research Assistant to Dr. Philip A. Klobucar Humanities Department New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey lll3(a)njit.edu

Invitation to Participate in a Study on Doctoral Rites of Passage
by Jeffrey Keefer 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

I am studying the experience of liminality (rites of passage) through learning leaps or aha! moments people encounter during the doctoral learning experience. I am hoping to speak with those who finished a doctorate (at any time) or who are working on their PhD (EdD, DNP, DM, etc.), especially if this involves distance or online study (or even a heavy technology component). Please consider my Invitation to Participate in a Research Study on my website — http://silenceandvoice.com/archives/2011/07/28/invitation-to-participate-in… — and please forward this to anybody you think may be a potential participant. Thank you in advance for any assistance as I am beginning data collection for my own doctoral thesis research at Lancaster University. ----- Jeffrey Keefer j.keefer(a)lancaster.ac.uk Blog: http://silenceandvoice.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/JeffreyKeefer Website: http://www.jeffreykeefer.com Lancaster University: http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/gradschool/pgrprofiles/603
