[Sigcr-l] Call for papers--in haste

[Francis Miksa]

Colleagues--

I have been encouraged by Kathryn La Barre of sigcr to send out this 
call for participation in an ASIS&T panel in the fall, even though 
the time is very late to obtain participants in the matter.  I have 
it in mind to give a paper on the topic--"A General Approach to 
Information Organization" in which I broach the issue of what such a 
general approach might be, especially since information organization 
has arisen not simply as a technological matter, but as expressions 
of traditions of practices and this complicates the matter of 
considering some approach to information organization that is 
suitably 'general."  I attach here an abstract of my topic but 
solicit the interest of others of you who might wish to be part of a 
panel on the general topic of information organization.  Jonathan 
Furner of UCLA has volunteered to be the moderator for the panel if 
we should be able to get it together in time.

If you wish to participate and have a topic, what will be necessary 
to do is to write an abstract and a series of 3 to 5 discussion 
questions that would frame the core of what your report, paper, etc., 
will be.  You should send the abstract and questions to
Kathryn La Barre <kathryn.labarre at gmail.com>
of sigcr and to myself.  Since we have a Monday, February 13th 
deadline to work with, this must be done in haste.  I regret the 
rushed nature of this and the inconvenience.

Many thanks in advance for your consideration of this call.
