(Crystal City, Virginia), USA | Oct. 27-Nov 1, 2017 Twenty seventeen (2017) is a special year for the Association for Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T) as we are reaching an 80-year milestone of our establishment. The theme of ASIS&T 2017 is focused on the diverse ways in which people from different backgrounds, cultures, and disciplines forge connections with each other, discover and use information, and engage with technology. The ASIS&T Annual Meeting is a premier, peer-reviewed international conference that gathers scholars and practitioners from around the globe to share research, innovations, and insights regarding how information and technology mediate the creation and use of knowledge within and across cultures and enhance lives. *?????????**?* Central focus for the workshop panels are the development of the Chinese information concept and its manifestation in documentation and library science, information science, and information philosophy. Some researchers of note (not intending to be exclusive in any way) include QIAN XUESEN, ZHONG YIXIN, WU KUN, and YAN XUESHAN, among others.
