[Sigcr-l] SIG/CR panels at ASIST AM 05

[Jens-Erik Mai]

Hello SIG/CRers:

It time to organize technical sessions and panels for the 2005 ASIST
Annual Meeting.  SIG/CR is usually represented with a number of strong
and well-attended panels - let's not disappoint the participants this
year!

Here's information about what technical sessions and panels are and what
you need to produce to propose a technical session or a panel (from
http://www.asis.org/am05call.htm): 

"Technical sessions and panels present topics for discussion such as
cutting-edge research and design, analyses of hot or emerging trends,
opinions on controversial issues, reports by practitioners on current
information science and technology projects, and contrasting viewpoints
from experts in complementary professional areas.  Innovative formats
that involve audience participation are encouraged.  These may include
panels, debates, forums, or case studies.  Submissions should be in the
form of a short paper (approximately two pages, no smaller than 10-pt.
font), providing an overview of the issues, projects, or viewpoints to
be discussed by the panel.  Submissions must include title, sponsor(s),
and names and affiliations of all participants (moderator, speakers,
reactors, etc.).  The final versions of these submissions will be
published in the digital conference proceedings.  Additional materials,
e.g., Powerpoint slides or short papers by individual presenters, will
be published in the digital conference proceedings at the author's
request."

Deadline for submission is January 21, 2005.  

Please send me a draft of your proposal prior to submitting, if you
would like SIG/CR to sponsor the panel.  Remember that reviewers tend to
look favorable on proposals that have multiple SIG sponsors...

Follow this link when you are ready to submit:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best wishes,
Jens-Erik
SIG/CR Chair-elect
