CALL FOR PAPERS

20th Annual Conference
ASIST SIG/CR

American Society of Information Science and Technology
Special Interest Group on Classification Research

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
November 7, 2009

Bridging Worlds, Connecting People:
Classification Transcending Boundaries


International, interdisciplinary,
cross-cultural,  cross-genre research
initiatives are some of the ways that we not
only push the envelope, but escape it. As the
20th workshop of ASIST SIG/CR crosses the border
to Vancouver, it is an appropriate time for us
to look back from whence we came and forward to
developing possibilities of inter- and
cross-topic theories, models, standards, and applications.


The overarching theme of ASIST 2009: Thriving on
Diversity ­ Information Opportunities in a
Pluralistic World defines the context for
Bridging Worlds and Connecting People. It is a
call for Transcending the Boundaries that bring
cultures and genres, disciplines and traditions
of practice in proximity to each other at the
same time that those boundaries enforce separations.


The 20th SIG/CR will bring together scholars,
practitioners, and students for a combination of
theoretical and applied explorations of
boundaries of all kinds and what we find beyond them.

We invite interested participants to submit
proposals for papers and posters to include
name(s) of presenter(s), title(s), affiliation(s), contact information
Abstracts of 300-500 words for papers and 200-300 words for posters.
Presentations will be 20 minutes.
Papers will be published in dLIST, the Digital
Library of Information Science and Technology
hosted at the University of Arizona.


The workshop will run from 8:30 until 4:45 with a
box lunch and snacks provided.  The day will
include individual speakers; panel presentations;
and a poster session with plenty of time for
informal discussion with the authors.
