Downs) Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2016 12:52:44 -0400 Subject: [Sigsti-l] IASSIST 2017 CFP Message-ID: Please find the CFP, below, for IASSIST 2017 and excuse any duplication of this message. ***** IASSIST 2017 CALL FOR PROPOSALS Data in the Middle: The common language of research The 43rd annual conference of the International Association for Social Science Information Services and Technology (IASSIST) will be held in Lawrence, Kansas from May 23-16, 2017. #iassist17 Many issues around data (sources, strategies, and tools) are similar across disciplines. While IASSIST has its roots in social science data, it has also welcomed discussions over the years of other disciplines' issues as they relate to data, data management, and support of users. So again this year, in line with this tradition, we are arranging a conference that will benefit those who support researchers across all disciplines: social sciences, health and natural sciences, and humanities. Please join the international data community in Lawrence, KS, "in the middle" of the U.S., for insights and discussion on how data in all disciplines are found, shared, used, and managed. Join us and draw inspiration from this diverse gathering! We welcome submissions for papers, presentations, panels, posters, and pecha kuchas. The full Call for Proposals, along with the link to the submission form, can be accessed on the conference website here: http://www.iassist17.dept.ku.edu/proposals/ Questions can be directed to the Program Chairs, Samantha Guss and Michele Hayslett, at iassist2017 at gmail.com . We are also accepting submissions for Pre-conference Workshops under a separate Call for Workshops, which can be accessed here: http://www.iassist17.dept.ku.edu/proposals/workshops/ Questions about workshops may be sent to the Workshop Coordinators, Jenny Muilenburg (jmuil at uw.edu ) and Andy Rutkowski (arutkowski at library.ucla.edu ). *Deadline for all submissions: 21 November 2016.* *Notification of acceptance: February 2017. ***** * Thanks, Bob Downs Robert R.
