[Sighfis-l] SIG/HFIS Call for proposals for ASIST-AM 2011

[Kathryn La Barre]

History and Foundations of Information Science Special Interest Group (SIG
HFIS) has a particular interest in historical and theoretical studies in
information science.  We are hospitable to varied and eclectic interests.  A
further indication of  SIG HFIS’s scope can be gathered inductively from the
topics covered at recent ASIS&T Annual Meetings, which have included,
Repositioning Information Science (a reflection on information science as a
discipline), Towards Positive Information Science, Documentation and
Communication in Aboriginal/Indigenous Cultures, and New Directions in
Information History.



We invite proposals for panels and for contributions to panels for
submission under the ample aegis of HFIS for the 74th Annual Meeting of the
American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIST 2011),
Bridging the Gulf: Communication and Information in Society, Technology, and
Work, to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, October 9-13, 2011  Proposals
should be formatted in accordance with the call for papers at
http://www.asis.org/asist2011/am11cfp.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.



We would like proposals by May 15, 2011 (to give time to compile panel
proposals from individual contributions).



I look forward to receiving contributions from colleagues.



Julian Warner

Chair SIG HFIS



The guidance for submission for panels reads.



Proposals for panels are invited on topics that include emerging
cutting-edge research and design, analyses of hot or emerging trends,
opinions on controversial issues, analyses of tools and techniques, and
contrasting viewpoints from experts in complementary professional areas.
Panels are not a substitute for a set of contributed papers, but must have a
cohesive theme and promote lively interaction between panelists and audience
members. Submit two to four pages that provide an overview of the issues to
be discussed by the panel. Proposals should also list panelists who have
agreed to participate and indicate the qualifications and contribution that
each panelist will offer. Proposals for Pecha Kucha style presentations are
encouraged.
