We are now accepting submissions for iConference 2016, our eleventh annual gathering of scholars, researchers and professionals who share an interest in the critical information issues of contemporary information society.
iConference 2016 takes place March 20-23, 2016, in historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. This year’s theme of “Partnership with Society” examines the dynamic, evolving role of information science and today’s iSchool movement, and the benefits to society. The conference includes peer-reviewed papers, posters, workshops and sessions for interaction and engagement, interspersed with multiple opportunities for networking. Early career and next generation researchers can engage in the Doctoral Student Colloquium, Early Career Colloquium and Undergraduate Student Showcase forums.
Authors and organizers can now submit materials using our secure submissions website: https://www.conftool.com/iConference2016/ <https://www.conftool.com/iConference2016/>. The official proceedings will be published in the open access Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship (IDEALS). The deadline for papers is Sept. 9, with other deadlines thereafter.
The iConference brings together scholars and researchers addressing critical information issues in contemporary society. The iConference pushes the boundaries of information studies, explores core concepts and ideas, and creates new technological and conceptual configurations—all shaping interdisciplinary discourses. Visit our website for more information, including sample topics and links to past proceedings: http://ischools.org/the-iconference/ <http://ischoo/>
iConference 2016 is hosted by Drexel University’s College of Computing & Informatics. Our conference venue, Loews Philadelphia Hotel, is located in Philadelphia’s bustling center city. The historic 33-storey building is hailed as America’s first skyscraper, and is in easy walking distance of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, birthplace of the United States Constitution. Other nearby attractions include the Rodin Museum and the Philadelphia Art Museum.
The iConference is presented by the iSchools (www.ischools.org <http://www.ischools.org/>), a worldwide association of Information Schools dedicated to advancing the information field, and preparing students to meet the information challenges of the 21st Century. Affiliation with the iSchools is not required—all information scholars, researchers, and practitioners are welcome at the iConference. The event is sponsored by Microsoft Research.
