[Green,Rebecca]

Hi all,

We are interested in promoting SIG/CR's participation in one or more
panels at next year's ASIS&T annual meeting.  What thematic
opportunities for panels do you see for SIG/CR?  Are there other SIGs we
should partner with?  You will find below information about the general
theme and tracks for next year's meeting, along with information
specific to panels.

Beyond the Cloud: Rethinking Information Boundaries
	The continuing development of computing and mobile technology
and the ongoing evolution of the Web environment provide new ways for
accessing, acquiring, retrieving and storing information which
constantly defy traditional boundaries.  With the growth of digital
content, information objects are blurred and challenge information
organization.  As more people interact and exchange knowledge and
information on the Web and the cloud, information environments are
transformed and human information behaviors are shifting.  As
information use is increasing and becomes more complex, the need for
meaningful integration and analysis is growing.  The ASIST Annual
Meeting is the main venue for disseminating research on advances in
information science, information technology and related topics. This
year's conference theme offers an opportunity to reflect on all the
changes that impact on human information interaction and their
implications for information science and technology.  Submissions are
solicited for, but not limited to, the five tracks below.

Track 1 - Human Information Interaction   Information Retrieval;
Information Behavior; Human Computer Interaction; Usability; E-Science &
Distributed Collaboration; Virtual Organizations; User Modeling; Mobile
Technologies.

Track 2 - Information Organization and Representation   Metadata;
Taxonomies; Information Visualization; Information Architecture; Digital
Libraries; Indexing and Abstracting; Classification; Social Tagging;
Semantic Web And Ontology; Social Media.

Track 3 - Information Use & Analysis   Information Seeking and User

Information; Social Informatics; Information Policy; Foundation of
Information Science; Digital Humanities; Web 3.0 and Related
Technologies; Cloud Computing

Panels:  The proposals for panels on topics that can be either research-
or practice-oriented are welcomed.  The topics range from emerging
cutting-edge research and design, analyses of hot or emerging trends,
opinions on controversial issues, analyses of tools and techniques, to
contrasting viewpoints from experts in complementary professional areas.
Panels must have a cohesive theme and promote lively discussion between
panelists and audience members. Proposals should provide a description
(2-4 pages) of the issues to be discussed, and a list of panelists who
have agreed to participate, with their qualifications and contributions
to the panel.
