The call for papers here:

The Institute of Information and Library Science of the Jagiellonian
University in cooperation with the International Society for Knowledge
Organization (ISKO) is organizing an international conference dedicated to
various aspects of knowledge organization in different countries, scholarly
disciplines or areas of professional and practical activities. The
conference is to be held in Kraków (at the Jagiellonian University) between
19th and 22ndMay 2014.

Such conferences are organized by ISKO each two years in various countries
– Poland is the venue for this conference for the first time. The
organizers expect the participation of numerous eminent researchers from
all over the world, first of all from Europe, North, Central and South
America, Africa and Asia, including Japan, India and Singapore.

We believe that the 25th ISKO anniversary will be a very good opportunity
to discuss the future plans, perspectives and activities of this
international organization and to share experience of its members from
different countries. But the main goal of the conference is to indicate the
future research directions and to foster the development of the discipline
known as knowledge organization. It will be a brilliant occasion to present
its achievements as well as to inspire new research projects and scholarly
oriented activities for the future.
