I cannot attend the annual meeting in Seattle because I cannot go ASIS&T conference this year. I think it might be a good idea to conduct a study on LIS education in Europe and analyze the challenges.

Announcing the 5th Annual ASIS&T Student Design Competition Join other students in a fun and challenging information system design competition to develop and present plans for a creative and innovative information system in response to a design challenge. The kick-off meeting will be held on Sunday, November 2, at 8:00pm. We will form design teams, review the procedures, and present the challenge. You and your team will generate a system proposal, and present it to a jury of industry and academic leaders in information science and an audience of conference attendees on Tuesday November 4, at 10:30am. At the end of the presentation session, the jury will announce a winning team. Everyone will be able to network with members of the jury and receive additional feedback. After that you can relax and go to SIG/CON on Tuesday night. Each member of the winning design team will receive complimentary registration to the 2015 ASIS&T Annual Meeting, and will also be written up in the Bulletin of ASIST. In addition, you will meet other students and have a chance to network with judges and attendees. Spread the word!

Eso puede ser un proyecto ?til, especialmente para los alunas que buscan sitios para estudiar o bolsa Erasmus. Pero tambi?n seria muy ?til montar de nuevo un directorio de los programas relevantes en Europa para substituir el directorio hecho por Tom Wilson lo cual no existe mas.
