The 2015 ASIS&T conference theme provides an opportunity for information
science researchers –including academics and practitioner– to discuss the
impact of their research on industry, on government, on
local/national/global community groups, on individuals, on information
systems, on cultural institutions, and on other practice contexts. The
theme highlights the introduction of a new conference focus on Applied
Research, which recognizes that basic research in information science is
also inspired by, and/or connected to, information practice contexts.
