[Asis-l] FW: SIGUSE Symposium 2016 “Information Behaviour in Workplaces” in Copenhagen

[Freund, Luanne]

Dear All,



If you happen to be I Copenhagen on Saturday, October 14, maybe you would like to join us?



This year’s SIG USE symposium focuses on information issues at work. It acknowledges social, individual and technological perspectives on the roles and flows that information takes as part of physical and digital work. The broad approach relates to the ASIS&T AM 2016 conference theme “Creating Knowledge, Enhancing Lives through Information & Technology” with a focus on information behaviour (IB) or on information practices (IP) in connection to workplaces.
