From dea22 at drexel.edu Wed Dec 4 21:20:24 2013 From: dea22 at drexel.edu (Agosto,Denise) Date: Thu, 05 Dec 2013 02:20:24 -0000 Subject: [Siguse-l] Call for Papers ISIC: The Information Behaviour Conference Message-ID: <6452B58DFAFA304899A7252B00C3054E04AAF5BC@MB3.drexel.edu> Call for Papers ISIC: the Information Behaviour Conference 2-5 September, 2014 The field of human information behaviour and practice is multi-disciplinary in scope: researchers from information science, information management, management science, psychology, social psychology, sociology, information systems, computer science, and other disciplines all contribute to this field of investigation. ISIC: the Information Behaviour Conference intends to reflect this interdisciplinary character through attracting papers from researchers in all of these areas. The issues of common interest include the relationship between the needs or requirements of the information user, the means for the satisfaction of those needs and the uses to which those means are put in practice by organizations or disciplines. Thus, papers that deal solely with technological aspects of system design, for example, will not be appropriate for the conference. Themes of the conference include the following: 1. Theories and models of information behaviour and information practice, including conceptualizations of the cognitive, affective, social and situational aspects of information needs, seeking, searching, use and sharing. 2. Research approaches and methodologies, both interpretative and positivist, employing either qualitative or quantitative methods. 3. Information behaviour and information practices in specific contexts: e.g., in different sectors and organisations (health care, education, business, industry, the public services and government, the emergency services); in everyday life, and in virtual social networks (including social media, gaming and virtual worlds as arenas for information exchange). 4. Collaborative information practices: communities, boundary spanning and innovation practices. 5. Information use and value: the nature of information and how information is used to help solve problems, aid or support decision making 6. Information behaviour and analytics (social media and enterprise analytics). 7. Organisational structures and processes and information behaviour and practices. 8. The role of information in building and enhancing the adaptive capacity of organisations: strategy and information absorption, transformation and integration. 9. The mediation of information behaviour: how human or software agents can respond to information needs. 10. The design of information delivery systems to meet information needs generally, or in organizational or disciplinary contexts, including social media and Web 2.0 developments such as blogs, wikis, e-learning platforms and open access information resources. 11. The communication of information to users: relationship between communication theory and information behaviour, including, for example, the relationship of information architectures to information seeking behaviour and the design of information products based on sound communication principles. 12. Cross-disciplinary contributions: integrating studies on information seeking and interactive retrieval; integrating information science, management science and information systems. For this forthcoming conference we are particular eager to see research papers engaged with virtual communities as well as communities that are currently under-represented or considered marginal (socially and/or culturally). Also, analytical, rather than descriptive investigations, will be sought, with strong connections to previous work and to theoretical or conceptual frameworks. Important Dates Paper and poster preparation and submission deadline is February 15, 2014. Paper Format The maximum length of a paper is 5500 words (excluding references). Paper presentation format in the conference includes full presentations (30 minutes) and short presentations (20 minutes). Author Guidelines Your paper should be prepared and submitted in accordance with the http://isic2014.com/call-for-papers/submission-procedure/ Submit your paper through the ISIC2014 paper submission site http://isic2014.com/ Doctoral Workshop We also invite doctoral students to submit an application for participation in the Doctoral Workshop held in conjunction with the Conference on 2nd September 2014. Conference Location ISIC is a biennial conference. The last ISIC conference was held in 2012 in Keio University, Tokyo, Japan and the earlier conference in 2010 in the Universidad de Murcia, Spain. We are delighted that in 2014 it will be hosted by Leeds University Business School. The Business School is internationally renowned for the quality of its teaching, its research and its facilities. The City of Leeds is a modern vibrant city which has excellent transportation links but is also provides access to the beautiful countryside and heritage of Yorkshire. Conference Organsation The conference is being jointly organised by the University of Leeds Business School, University of Sheffield iSchool and the Department of Information Studies, University of Aberystwyth. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: From heidijul at buffalo.edu Mon Dec 9 07:55:00 2013 From: heidijul at buffalo.edu (Julien, Heidi) Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2013 12:55:00 +0000 Subject: [Siguse-l] Canadian Association for Information Science - Call for Papers In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: 42nd Annual Conference of the Canadian Association of Information Science & Inaugural Librarians' Research Institute Symposium Connecting Across Borders: Globalization and Information Science Research Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario May 28- 30th 2014 The conference theme Connecting Across Borders: Globalization and Information Science Research reflects both the international make-up of our conference program committee (chaired by three Canadian ex-pats) and the global reach of information science as a discipline. New technologies, an increasing focus on international and interdisciplinary research collaborations, and a complex, internationalized policy and practice landscape affect the research questions we ask and the research activities we pursue. As researchers, we place our work within a framework of international scholarship and scholarly communication; as practitioners, we explore the nature of services, programs, and organizational vision within contexts of increasing complexity across disciplines and cultural spaces. The research landscape in information science explores a diverse range of populations, settings and contexts; we are a global discipline, connected by shared interests and concerns, and drawn together by the latest technologies. The conference theme points to the increasing need to recognize, explore, and question the social and cultural assumptions of information science as a discipline, and of our chosen research problems and methodologies, in this global context. We seek papers and presentations that address this broad theme, but may also explore strategies for: * Conducting information science research with global partners and collaborators; * Setting research priorities in a global, knowledge-based society; * Building a global evidence base to guide information science practice; * Addressing the challenges of digital and virtual research and practice environments; * Exploring diversity, marginalization and information inequality across borders. We welcome studies that explore any of these issues, or analyses that more broadly address the theme of connecting across borders in information science research. In 2014 CAIS is partnering with the CARL (Canadian Association of Research Libraries) Librarians' Research Institute (LRI) to present the Inaugural Librarians' Research Institute Symposium alongside the CAIS conference. We are pleased to be hosting these events together at Congress for the first time. Call for proposals. Proposals may be submitted in English or French. The conference committee strongly encourages submissions from professional and academic researchers. Types of submissions include: CAIS Papers: 20-minute oral presentations of completed or well-developed projects on topics suitable for publication in scholarly journals. Proposals that report on completed or ongoing research will be given preference. Diverse perspectives (theoretical and applied) and methodologies are welcomed. Proposals should be in the form of an extended abstract (approximately 1000-1500 words excluding references), reporting on research projects, theoretical developments or innovative practical applications. CARL LRI Papers: Participants of the Librarians' Research Institute are invited to identify their LRI affiliation when submitting papers, to be considered for two dedicated program sessions highlighting LRI research projects. These papers will be reviewed by members of the LRI conference panel.
