Abstract Submission Deadline Extended: June 15th, 2006

Dear colleague,

InSciT2006 is getting closer and the number of news regarding and 
surrounding to the conference is growing up remarkably. As featured facts we 
want to highlight the support from the American Society for Information 
Science and Technology (ASIS&T) which is now endorsing InSciT2006 and the 
International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI) which is 
helping us disseminate InSciT2006 to the international research community 
announcing the conference in its March Newsletter. In addition, plenty of 
publications have echoed InSciT2006 Conference, it is announce in DLib 
Magazine, UNESCO, and at a national level in El Profesional de la 
Informacion as well as many other sites.

These facts jointed to the number of requests asking whether it is still 
possible to submit proposals made us decide to put the submission deadline 
off to June 15th, so this way new contributions can be added up to the 220 
currently accepted.

A list of InSciT2006 features is listed below. For further details, please
