It still preserves a very old network of narrow and charming city streets, as well as a Roman forum dating back to the first century AD. In addition, the Zadar region is one of unparalleled natural beauty that includes two national parks. On the Adriatic Sea is the Kornati National Park, an unusual and colorful group of some 100 small islands. The National Park Paklenica is also close by, for those who enjoy exploring a more mountainous terrain. Croatia is a great tourist destination of unspoiled beauty. -- Sanjica Faletar Tanackovic, PhD Associate Professor Department of Information Sciences Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences L.

Human subjects are asked to answer the question "What is information?" in the form of a drawing, generating a compact piece of visual data coined an "iSquare" (http://www.jennahartel.com/isquares.html). The webinar instructor, Dr. Jenna Hartel of the University of Toronto, has used the method to explore how people envision information (Hartel, in press, 2013a, 2013b). She also applies the approach in classrooms to help students, especially newcomers, theorize information (Hartel, 2014). Whether employed as a research method or pedagogical strategy, iSquares bring information science into the visual Information Age and create a richer multimedia genealogy for our central concept. The goal of the webinar is to help other information scholars and professionals experiment with arts-informed, visual methods and iSquares, specifically. First, the webcast outlines the theoretical framework, research design, and data-gathering specifications to produce iSquares for the purposes of information research. Then the session provides classroom activities and assignments to utilize iSquares for information education. The webinar also marks the launch of a website that displays the corpus of images gathered thus far (n=400 and growing).

These are expected to address new, exciting, and controversial issues. They should be provocative, informative, and entertaining. Panel proposals should include: * Summary of the topics to be covered. * Name, affiliation and contact information for the panel chair. * Names and affiliations of up to four panellists (in addition to the panel chair) who have made a commitment to participate. * Short summary of their position statements. * Brief biography of each participant. For the first time ISIC will also provide a dedicated track for short papers for work in progress. The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by the program committee. Submissions for the short paper track should be 3 pages (at most), excluding references, and 4 pages (at most), in total. They will be orally presented at the conference with each presenter being allocated 15 minutes, 10 - 12 minutes to present their paper and a couple of minutes to answer any questions. Important Dates The deadline for submission is March 17, 2014 Author Guidelines and Submission Submit your paper through the ISIC2014 paper submission site http://isic2014.com/ Conference Location ISIC is a biennial conference.

We are delighted that in 2014 it will be hosted by Leeds University Business School. The Business School is internationally renowned for the quality of its teaching, its research and its facilities. The City of Leeds is a modern vibrant city which has excellent transportation links but is also provides access to the beautiful countryside and heritage of Yorkshire.

We'd like to work towards increased communication between chapters - both regional and student. 1) As a first step towards that, we've created a spreadsheet with the list of officers for 2013-2014. Could you please update your particulars in the spreadsheet http://tinyurl.com/k5426q5. Do please try to update the particulars by November 30. These addresses would also be added to the chapters-l list. The list is designed to be open so that you can see the officers in other chapters and reach out to them for ideas or collaboration. The Chapter Assembly would like to see increased shared activities between student and regional chapters. The color coding in the spreadsheet shows chapters close to you that you can collaborate with. Do please reply to this email if you have comments or suggestions. Some of the other initiatives by the chapter assembly include (we need your support to make these happen): 2) Sharing the reports of winning regional and student chapters with the rest of the chapters to serve as models. Could the winning chapters (for this year, and also previous years) write to naresh.agarwal at simmons.edu to provide their consent to share their reports. If you have your winning reports easily accessible in your computer hard drives, do please attach them as well. It would be a great help to other chapters. 3) We'd also invite all regional and student chapters to write up your plans for the year now itself (keeping the annual report you submit at the end of the year in mind). Criteria in annual reports / chapter of the year awards: http://www.asis.org/Chapters/ChapterAnnualActivitiesReportForm.pdf http://www.asis.org/awards/studentchapteroftheyear.html#Checklist Your plan must include at least one event with a collaboration with another chapter or SIG. There could be a Wiki or a shared document in the future where you could share your plans and report for the year (the annual reports are due in Jul-Aug 2014, but we'd like to encourage you to begin planning now itself, and share your plans/ideas/questions with other chapters). 4) We're also planning to hold quarterly online meetings of all chapters so you can connect with each other. That's the update for now. Do write with your comments and suggestions. Don't forget to update your officer list by Nov 30 by clicking on http://tinyurl.com/k5426q5 Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
