[Sigcr-l] Fwd: genre panel proposal

[Barbara Kwasnik]

Hi Mark,
I think it's a great idea to submit to ASIST annual meeting for this
coming year. I'm cross posting this to the SIG/CR listserv, and I'm
assuming nobody would object to having this panel submitted with SIG/CR
endorsement. There is definitely a link to organization of information
broadly speaking, and classification in particular.

And, yes, please include me in the panel. I'll be travelling a great
deal this semester while on research leave, but will have access to
email at least most of the time if not quite as much as when I'm "home".
Barbara

Hello All,

Here's my previous message again...this time with our old proposal
attached.

Please let me know:
1. If you are still interested in being part of the ASIST panel
proposal.
2. If you have any editing suggestions - our last submission was
geared towards digital libraries - should we try to tie this in with
"social computing", this year's ASIST theme?

The ASIST deadline for panel proposals is 1/21 - just about 10 days
from now. I will incorporate your suggestions and send them out for
everyone's comments and approval.

-Mark

Hello All!

I would like to suggest that we submit our genre panel proposal to
next year's ASIST conference.

Attached is the previous one-page proposal. Please let us all know if
you are interested in doing this at ASIST, and if you have any
changes, enhancements, etc. to suggest for the proposal. For example,
the original proposal was written for JCDL and plays up "digital
libraries". How might it best be fine-tuned for the ASIST audience?
Might we tie genres in with social computing?

Barbara, do you think that SIG-CR would have an interest in sponsoring
us?

The submission deadline is 1/21/2007.

Following are the panel requirements from the call for papers.

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.
