Chinese Information Concept/History of Chinese IS by Ken Herold *ASIS&T 80th Annual Meeting - Proposed Pre-Conference Workshop* Washington D.C. (Crystal City, Virginia), USA | Oct. 27-Nov 1, 2017 Twenty seventeen (2017) is a special year for the Association for Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T) as we are reaching an 80-year milestone of our establishment. The theme of ASIS&T 2017 is focused on the diverse ways in which people from different backgrounds, cultures, and disciplines forge connections with each other, discover and use information, and engage with technology. The ASIS&T Annual Meeting is a premier, peer-reviewed international conference that gathers scholars and practitioners from around the globe to share research, innovations, and insights regarding how information and technology mediate the creation and use of knowledge within and across cultures and enhance lives. *?????????**?* Central focus for the workshop panels are the development of the Chinese information concept and its manifestation in documentation and library science, information science, and information philosophy. Some researchers of note (not intending to be exclusive in any way) include QIAN XUESEN, ZHONG YIXIN, WU KUN, and YAN XUESHAN, among others. Some background works (again, not exclusive): ZHOU, JINLONG; WANG, CHUANQING; ZHAO, XIN. 2008. An Overview on the Development of Chinese Library and Information Science Journals.

Libraries & Information (China). 1989; 3: 1-6. (In Chinese). Under the sponsorship of ASIS&T?s Special Interest Group on the History and Foundations of Information Science, we are looking for panelists to contribute to a day of workshops in a pre-conference setting. Proposals should be written in English (300-500 words) describing your scholarly interest and intention to attend at least the pre-conference event if your proposal is accepted. There is no support for fees, accommodations, or travel?all costs are the responsibility of attendee-panelists. Scholars are encouraged to make submissions to the main Annual Meeting proceedings as well.

For this anniversary, we are looking forward to the next 80 years, as well as reflecting on the accomplishments and milestones of the past 80 years. We are organizing a special panel session (see link below) for the Annual Meeting in Crystal City, Virginia, October 27-November 1st, 2017, as well as other activities. As members of the 80th Anniversary Celebration Taskforce, we are working with the SIGs and Chapters to encourage their active participation in activities to celebrate these past accomplishments and plan for our future. Among the activities being considered (some of which have already been initiated): panels and programs for the 80th Annual Meeting, programs for Chapter meetings (including between local and student Chapters), webinars and other video presentations, and publications. We encourage collaboration among SIGS and Chapters. We members of SIG HFIS, along with SIG III have offered our help in forming panels and other programs at the 80th Annual Meeting, as well as with the production of papers and posters, webinars, and other videos. We ask that you promote our message and refer your colleagues to these valuable resources.
