2nd International Symposium on Information Management in a   Changing World,
   September 22-24, 2010, Ankara, Turkey 
   The Impact of Technological Convergence and Social   Networks on Information Management 
   (First Call for Papers)
      The "2nd International Symposium on Information Management in a Changing World," organized by the Department of Information Management of Hacettepe University, will take place in Ankara, Turkey, from 22-24 September 2010. It aims to bring together both researchers and practitioners to discuss the impact of technological convergence and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter on current information management practices in libraries, archives and museums and their implications for education for library and information science. Convergence and social networks also influence the scholarly electronic publishing, open access and institutional archives, digitization of cultural heritage and the socialization of information.  
   The technological convergence is defined as the intertwinement of technologies. A single product such as a cell phone can be used not only to communicate but also to take pictures, listen to music, get access to the Web, and find our way by successfully combining the communication, audio, video, web and GPS technologies. Similarly, our professional, personal and social lives also converge. Social networks such as Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn are used not only for social networking and entertainment but also for access to information, for learning and for carrying out professional work. Social networks commonly have Web 2.0 features, offer personalized services and allow users to incorporate their own content easily and describe, organize and share it with others, thereby enriching users’ experience. Users expect information providing organizations to offer similar services and they want libraries to be as accessible, flexible, open to collaboration and sharing as that of social networks. The future of libraries, archives and museums is closely associated with how successfully they meet the demands of digital users. 
   Main   topics of the Symposium are as follows:
    -    Technological Convergence   and Information Management 
 -    Social Networks and Web   2.0 Technologies
 -    Convergence, Social   Networks and Education
 -    Digital Preservation of   Cultural Heritage
 -    Socialization of   Information and Convergence
 -    Information Organization,   Information Architecture and Information Retrieval
 -    Interdisciplinary studies

                     The themes are not limited with the above topics. In addition to papers, posters, workshops and panels on the impact of convergence and social networks on information management, papers on information and records management in general are also welcome. Student papers and posters will also be considered. Accepted papers and posters will appear in the proceedings book and the Symposium web site. Selected papers will be published in refereed journals.
