In this workshop, we will analyze these changes to the informational state and discuss how we can address them through three themes: *pedagogy for information ethics and policy*, *engagement with policymakers*, and *information ethics and policy across information science*. Workshop participants are encouraged to participate in a variety of ways and will leave the workshop with tangible products that can be used in research and teaching. *Contributions*: For the workshop, we seek several different types of contributions: - Panel: A panel should incorporate two of the themes (see below, under workshop organization) and each panel is encouraged to include at least one person outside academia. Panels should be explicit about which themes are addressed and include a brief biography of each contributor. - Paper: A paper should address one of the themes (see below) in detail, tying it back to the broader discussion of the changed information state. Papers should be 3500-5000 words. - Speaker: We seek volunteers to synthesize these themes (see below) and address potential big-picture implications of these trends. Those interested in being a featured speaker should submit a c.v. and a brief essay (under 5000 words) on these themes. *The deadline for all contributions is 8/18*. Contributions should be emailed to Shannon Oltmann at shannon.oltmann at uky.edu. Contact Shannon Oltmann with any questions. Read the full workshop proposal here . -- *?A.J.

(Arlington, VA), USA Keynote: Dr. Paul T. Jaeger, College of Information Studies and the Information Policy and Access Center (iPAC), University of Maryland ABOUT THE 2017 SIG-USE SYMPOSIUM The 17th Annual SIG-USE Research Symposium focuses on the theme of inclusion and exclusion. This theme acknowledges that advances in information and communication technology?such as the Internet, social media, and mobile devices?have afforded individuals and communities new ways of connecting with one another and of accessing vast quantities of information, but that many individuals and groups still remain at the periphery of the information society. These groups include, but are not limited to: older persons, geographically or socially isolated persons, migrant persons, disabled persons, economically disadvantaged and displaced persons, global youth, and others who are often considered at-risk and vulnerable. While some scholars have considered these populations and their information behavior and practices, the aims of this Symposium are to strengthen and build the community of scholars and information professionals who critically consider issues related to inclusion and exclusion in their work. It also aims to provide an opportunity for scholars and professionals to reflect and gain feedback on their ongoing studies, to take in new perspectives, and to engage in theoretical debates. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION SIG-USE Symposium organizers invite poster (~500-word abstract) and short paper (<2000-word abstract) contributions that describe completed research and research-in-progress, and that showcase empirical, conceptual, theoretical, and methodological findings or rich practice cases and demonstrations, from researchers, graduate students, and practitioners. To read the SIG-USE Symposium?s full Call For Participation, please visit: https://siguse.wordpress.com/category/siguse-symposium/. Poster and short paper abstracts should adhere to the following guidelines: ? Be submitted as two versions: the first should include (a) name(s), title, and institutional affiliation(s) at the top; the second should be blinded to facilitate review, and not include name(s), titles, or affiliation(s). ? ? Be submitted as two .pdf files, named according to the following conventions: ?2017_SIGUSESym_####_Lastname.pdf? and ?2017_SIGUSESym_####_Blinded.pdf? (where ?####? is a 4- or 5-digit number of your choosing, to avoid multiple files with identical names). ? ? Be e-mailed to Leslie Thomson (lethomso at ad.unc.edu) by midnight EST on September 5, 2017. ? Accepted documents will be circulated prior to and following the Symposium, when possible. Please indicate in the text of the submission ?e-mail whether or not we may post the abstract to the public SIG-USE website before and after the Symposium is held.

Recent special volumes of the *Journal of Information Science* and *The Information Society* discuss the intersections in human information and learning research. ASIST?s new Special Interest Group, *SIG Information and Learning Sciences* * (InfoLearn, https://www.asist.org/SIG/SIGILS/ ) *was initiated and launched in Spring of 2017. To mark this occasion, we will offer this half-day pre-conference workshop at the ASIST annual meeting. A primary goal is to present several cross-disciplinary scholars? perspectives on key research occurring within both of these connected disciplines, offer analysis and discernment on scholarly boundaries and convergences, and identify productive ongoing and future areas of theory building, methodology and system design praxis, spanning these 2 inter-disciplinary fields. We seek researchers from all backgrounds to join us in a scholarly nexus to pursue research opportunities in this emerging area. Workshop themes include: - Information behavior during both formal and informal learning, and by the full diversity of youth, adults, elders and specialized populations: at work; at school; at play - Design and use of learning systems and information systems - Computer supported collaborative learning - Ethnographic, emancipatory, critical-race theory and post-structural research involving information and learning - Digital divide, literacies, access, and engagement - Learning analytics and/or data science perspectives on inquiry and learning activity across systems - E-learning systems research on policies and practices in data sharing, information architecture, knowledge ecosystems management - Social and ethical issues, privacy and security concerns in online and cyber-learning *Tentative Schedule* 8:30 -8:50 Welcome and Introduction (Rebecca Reynolds) 8:50 - 9:20 One-minute introductions (All participants) 9:20 - 10:20 Interactive Panelists Discussion 10:20 - 10:40 Coffee Break 10:40 - 11:40 Breakout Sessions based on themes emergent from participant position papers 11:40 - 11:55 Report-Out on future research areas, by breakout groups 11:55 - 12:20 One minute madness (participant debriefings, takeaways) 12:20 - 12:30 Wrap-up and closing remarks (Soo Young Rieh) Registration rate: $115 for ASIS&T members, $125 for non-members; includes 1 coffee break.

To help LIS instructors teach and promote diversity, equality, and inclusion in their curriculum, we have compiled a list of recent works. This list is intended to serve as a living document.
