IASSIST 2010

Social Data and Social Networking:
Connecting Social Science Communities across the Globe
1-4 June 2010
Ithaca, NY, USA

IASSIST 2010, the 36th Annual Conference of the International 
Association for Social Science Information Service and Technology 
(IASSIST) will be hosted by the Cornell Institute for Social and 
Economic Research (CISER) and Cornell University Library (CUL) and will 
be held at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, USA, on 1-4 June 2010.

The theme of this year's conference is Social Data and Social 
Networking: Connecting Social Science Communities across the Globe. 
Social science has begun to feel the impact of the dramatic shift in 
communication patterns globally, where social networking and other 
digital media trends are changing how social scientists study the world 
around them.  This theme is intended to stimulate discussion about the 
impact of social networking on the creation, collection, sharing, 
storage, preservation, dissemination, confidentiality, licensing of, and 
access to data.  Of particular interest is how social connectivity has 
facilitated multi-site and cross-national social science research.

A webform for submission of proposals will be available on the 
conference web site: http://ciser.cornell.edu/IASSIST/ from 12 October 
2009.


Deadline for submission: 30 November 2009.

Notification of acceptance: 1 February 2010.
