Cortada discusses the key findings from his new book, All the Facts: A History of Information in the United States Since 1870. He will also introduce a framework for studying information history that can be applied at the national level and in more narrowly focused studies. His discussion will review the role of information in the private and public sectors, also how people used information in their public and private lives, and conclude with an argument in favor of understanding the role of information as a central theme in American history.

ECIR is the main European forum for the presentation of new research results in the field of Information Retrieval (IR). ECIR 2017 encourages the submission of high quality research papers reporting original and previously unpublished results. With the rapidly increasing amount of data produced at present, and the increasing adoption of IR techniques beyond the traditional search for documents, papers on IR applied to real-life information problems (e.g., eScience, the Internet of Things, User behaviours and analyses etc.) are particularly encouraged. ECIR has a strong student focus, hence papers whose sole or main author is a postgraduate student or a postdoctoral researcher are especially welcome. Through the Doctoral Consortium, PhD students can introduce their current work and receive advice and feedback from members of the IR Community. *Short Papers* We are seeking the submission of high-quality and original short papers. Short Paper submissions addressing any of the areas identified in the conference topics are welcome. Authors are encouraged to describe work in progress and late-breaking research. *Demonstrations* Demonstrations present research prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert users. Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas related to aspects of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the Topics of Interest listed below. The demonstration submission should address clear research questions like: What problem does my system solve? Who is my target user? Demonstrations that make their source code freely available are especially encouraged. We ask all authors to either provide a URL to a live online version of their demo or, alternatively, provide a URL to a video showcasing the main features of their demo. *Paper Submission Guidelines* All submissions must be written in English following the ECIR guidelines ( http://irsg.bcs.org/proceedings/ECIR_Draft_Guidelines.pdf) and the LNCS author guidelines (http://www.springer.com/compu ter/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0) and submitted electronically through the conference submission system. Full papers/ reproducible IR track papers must not exceed 12 pages, short papers must not exceed 6 pages, and demonstration papers must not exceed 4 pages, including references and figures. Full, short and reproducible IR track paper submissions will be refereed through double-blind peer review. Demonstration papers will undergo single-blind review. Accepted full papers, short papers, demos and reproducible IR track papers will be published in the conference proceedings published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be distributed to all delegates at the Conference. Accepted full papers, short papers, demos and reproducible IR track papers will have to be presented at the conference. Short papers and reproducible IR track papers will either be presented as a poster or as an oral presentation. *Important Dates* ? Full papers: 15 October 2016 (submission closed.) ?

Papers may reflect ongoing or completed research studies and should not have been previously published or be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. We would particularly welcome papers which address two or more of the conference themes. Important Deadlines * All abstracts should be submitted by Wednesday 25 January 2017. * Notification of acceptance will be emailed in mid March. * The final copy of full papers for the peer-reviewed journal will be around September 2017. Details to be confirmed. Conference themes The conference focuses on the quality and effectiveness of the interaction between people and information and how this interaction can bring about change. i3 will look beyond the issues of use and accessibility of technology to questions about the way people interact with the information and knowledge content of today's systems and services, and how this might ultimately affect the impact of that information on individuals, organisations and communities. Research questions may include, but are not restricted to the following: * How much do we know about the impact of information behaviours and capabilities on the quality and effectiveness of learning, knowledge building and sharing, decision-making and problem solving, creativity, democracy? * How do information behaviours and literacies contribute to the economic or social value of information assets or the intellectual capital of an organisation? * How do/can organisations and communities harness their information assets to meet challenges, solve problems, survive and thrive? * Is there a connection between information and inspiration? * How well do our models and pedagogies for information literacy relate to real-world information contexts in workplace, community, education or home environments? * Are new information environments changing the way people seek and use information? * What are the methodological challenges of addressing such issues? For more information about the conference and conference themes http://www.rgu.ac.uk/research/conferences/i-2017/overview/ Criteria for acceptance Criteria for acceptance will be based on the following elements: * the relevance of the paper to the conference themes; the extent to which the paper demonstrates awareness of the current state of knowledge in the field (i.e. in relation to theory or practice); * the originality and significance of the arguments and results presented (i.e. based on new findings and addressing a new problem or focusing on a novel synthesis and in-depth discussion of existing research, which provides a new perspective); * the appropriateness, validity and robustness of the methodology chosen displaying awareness of limitations; * the contribution to knowledge and understanding of the issues surrounding information interactions and impact; * the quality of the written abstract (e.g. organisation and clarity). Submissions will be anonymously reviewed by two members of the International Programme Committee specialising in one or more of the conference research streams. Type of submissions Submissions are invited for full papers, short papers and round table discussions. The conference language will be English. Full papers Full papers will be allocated 40 minutes (35 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions). Presenters of full papers should submit an extended abstract of 1000 words (excluding the list of references). Authors who are accepted to give full papers at i3 are also invited to submit a full paper for consideration by the editorial board for a special of a peer reviewed journal in 2018.
