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:

Questions can be directed to the Program Chairs, Samantha Guss and
