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.

Call for Participation

76th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Information Science and Technology November 1-6, 2013, Centre Sheraton, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

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
Studies; Strategic, Security & Competitive Intelligence; Information & Knowledge Management; Comparative Analysis of Information Practices; Information Metrics (Bibliometrics/Informatrics/Webometrics).

Track 4 -Information Preservation & Access   Digital Curation; Big Data;
E-Book; Information Quality; Copyright; Intellectual Properties and Related Issues; Information Literacy.

Track 5 - Information Environments & Socio-Cultural Aspects Organizational & Contextual Issues; Security & Privacy; Economics of 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.
