[Sighfis-l] hfis call for proposals for am 2006

[Dr Julian Warner]

History and Foundations of Information Science Special Interest Group (HFIS)
has a particular interest in historical and theoretical studies in
information science.  A further indication of its scope can be gathered
inductively from the topics covered at recent ASIS&T Annual Meetings, which
have included, A science of public knowledge, Knowledge diffusion, and, How
neutral can technology be?

 

I invite proposals for panels and for contributions to panels for submission
under the ample aegis of HFIS for the ASIST Annual Meeting 2006, Information
Realities: Shaping the Digital Future for All (November 3-9, 2006 in Austin,
Texas).  Proposals should be formatted in accordance with the call for
papers at http://www.asis.org/Conferences/AM06/am06call.html  but sent to me
(j.warner at qub.ac.uk) as attachments.  I will submit all proposed panels and
attempt to compile coherent panel(s) out of proposals for individual
contributions received.

 

I would like proposals by February 3, 2006 (to give me time to compile panel
proposals from individual contributions).

 

I look forward to receiving contributions from colleagues.

Note. The formal requirements for panel submissions are as follows.

 

Submissions should be in the form of a short paper (approximately five
pages, no smaller than 10-pt. font). The submission must include two
distinct parts: 1) scope: providing a clear rationale for the panel, an
overview of potential issues to be discussed, and justifications for
selecting the proposed panel members and 2) panel member contributions: a
single page from each member (to be included in the 5 page count) describing
what the member plans to discuss and a list of questions the member will
raise for other panel and audience members to react to. It is assumed that a
panel will have about three to four members.
