Proposals for lightning talks should be one to two pages long (500-1000 words) and outline the topic and themes that will be addressed during the talk. Proposed topics must be relevant to the Symposium theme - "Context in information behavior research" (See below). ABOUT THE 2014 SIG-USE SYMPOSIUM: Theme: "Context in Information Behavior Research" Date: November 1, 2014 (Saturday) Time: 1:30 to 6:30 pm Location: Sheraton Seattle Hotel, Seattle, WA, USA The importance of context in human information behavior research has been well established. Nonetheless, it has been observed that although contextual aspects are included in most research, they tend to serve as the backdrop of a study, and not as its focus. Stronger emphasis on context will enhance our understanding of information behavior. The purpose of this symposium is to explore the role and impact of context, aiming to advance scholarship and knowledge concerning this key component of information behavior research. This symposium will focus on themes including, but not limited to: ? Conceptual and theoretical aspects: Focusing on the conceptual and theoretical understanding of context in information behavior research, papers may explore questions such as the following: What does ?context? really mean? What is the nature of context in the research frameworks of information behavior studies (e.g., as the background/setting, the explanatory factor, the manipulation condition, or the outcome variable of a research study)? How are relationships between individuals, groups, and contexts surrounding the information behavior conceptualized? To what extent and in what way do variables representing features at broader levels of aggregation (e.g., group level, organizational level, societal level) affect the information behavior of an individual? What philosophical and theoretical perspectives and frameworks can be used to study contexts? ? Methodological aspects: From the research method perspective, papers may examine issues such as: What factors need to be considered when selecting methods and/or instruments for studies of various contexts? What are the methodological challenges and opportunities of studying information behavior in a particular context? ? Context-related research: With strong focus on contexts, papers may probe questions such as: What is the typical information behavior in a particular context? How different is the information behavior in one context from the other? How does the context factor interact with other factors (e.g., user characteristics)? ? Meta-analysis of context-related research: Context-related research may be analyzed to explore questions such as: What kinds of research have been done in relation to contexts? How do different aspects of context impact different LIS areas (e.g., information literacy, design of information systems/services, etc.) and in what way? SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR LIGHTNING TALK PROPOSALS: - Author?s name, title, and institutional affiliation should be included at the top of the proposal. - Proposal text must be 500-1000 words. - Submission should be in pdf or doc format. The file should be named as ?2014_SIGUSEsympo_FirstAuthor'sLastName". - Submission should be done by sending your draft to?sigusesym2014 at gmail.com?(Subject: SIGUSE_FirstAuthor?sLastname).

The theme for this year?s conference is Connecting Collections, Cultures, and Communities - we chose this theme to celebrate the breadth of information science, its historical roots, its user-centeredness, and its unique aim of bringing people together around ideas, thoughts, and the exchange of information and knowledge. The program includes 42 papers, 26 panels, 102 posters, 12 workshops, and many opportunities for socializing at receptions. All in all this conference is packed with intellectually stimulating sessions, lots of opportunities to network and meet new people, and engage in the health and well-being of this wonderful association. We are delighted to present two excellent and accomplished keynote speakers: Kris M.

Please distribute widely! Call for Papers Understanding Web search engine users Workshop at the 77th Annual Meeting of the Association of Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T) October 31, 2014, Sheraton Seattle Hotel, Seattle, WA http://www.asis.org/asist2014/ Organized by Shari Thurow, Founder and SEO Director, Omni Marketing Interactive, USA Dirk Lewandowski, Professor, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany Matt Wallaert, Behavioral Scientist, Microsoft, USA INTRODUCTION Many researchers are interested in internet search behaviour, both as a primary action and as a secondary source of data that reflects the what, how, and why of information seeking. But despite that interest, we still lack a systematic research agenda on search engine use and searcher behaviours, perhaps because the potential for the data is so broad and the fields of study being applied so vast that it is difficult to coordinate and discuss across disciplines. Consequently, researchers usually focus on the methods popular in their fields, but are unaware of other methodological approaches and/or software tools that could help them achieve their research goals. Thus, by collaborating across disciplines, there is substantial opportunity to introduce new methods and research questions to investigators who are working along similar lines but without awareness of each other. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOME The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry, who are interested in understanding search engine use, both as a primary and secondary source to reflect on user behaviour. We are interested in discussing methods and results in various areas, aiming for establishing a research agenda for information science researchers interested in Web searching. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Theories of Web search engine user behaviours * Evaluating search engine user interfaces * Information retrieval evaluation methods applied to Web search engines * Query log analysis * Eye-tracking research * User guidance in the search process * Incorporating user behaviours into search engine optimization techniques * Usability and user experience in Web searching * Using and sharing information found through search engines * Understanding user behaviours through triangulation of methods (e.g., transaction-log analysis, lab-based studies, online questionnaires, diary studies) TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS The workshop invites short research papers and position papers, as well. We also welcome overviews of relevant research done within a research group over the last few years. Accepted submissions will be presented in a 20-minute presentation. At least one presenter must be present at the event and register for the workshop. Extended abstracts and presentations will be made available on the workshop website. There will be no formal workshop proceedings. Submissions should be in the form of extended abstracts (approx. 1,500 words) including references.

We are looking for original chapters on this topic - from scholars in academia and industry. For many years, information retrieval has focused on individual users searching for information. Algorithms have assumed that one person is reviewing the results, and user interfaces have supported the needs of individual searchers. CIS - also referred to as collaborative information retrieval and collaborative search - focuses on the notion that information seeking is not always a solitary activity, and that people working in collaboration to perform information-seeking tasks should be studied and supported. CIS occurs in many contexts, including healthcare, business intelligence, technical fields, strategic research, information analysis, planning tasks, and everyday activities such as shopping and travel. While the submission could be a synthesis of some of the prior works, it should not be published before. Manuscripts may describe research, experiences, and software tools/algorithms/architectures focused on support for collaborative information seeking. Specific topics include . CIS theories and models; . Design experiences of CIS systems; . User Interfaces for CIS systems and tools; . CIS applications and use cases in different domains, such as e-learning environments, healthcare, office work, and intelligence analysis; . Approaches for incorporating CIS with social search; . Issues related to collaborators' awareness of actions, Team/group aspects and participants' roles; . Evaluation measures for CIS systems; . Methodologies for studying CIS; and . Software tools and algorithms to support collaborative search. All chapter submissions are subject to double peer review based on both technical merit and relevance to Springer CSCW book series readership. Accepted chapters will be professionally edited for content and style.
