We are granting this year?s award to Quinn Dupont of the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto, based on his dissertation project, tentatively titled, ?Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext: A History of Cryptography and its Influence on Contemporary Society.? Dupont's nominating faculty member wrote: "His intellectual background allows for cross-pollination of rigorous theoretical approaches from different fields and is useful as a way to add dimension to media archaeology, which has its roots in history and the social sciences. This hybridization adds theory to empirical research, while forcing information studies into a theoretical conversation of its own methods." The award consists of a certificate suitable for framing and $1000 check. Since this award is for ongoing research, other applicants who are still working on their dissertations will be eligible to enter their work next year, and we strongly encourage them to do so.

The workshop was sponsored by DIMACS - an NSF-funded center at Rutgers. The workshop brought together scholars from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds who are experts and innovators in studying collaborative search systems, with a goal of outlining a ?research roadmap? of challenges and opportunities as an outcome of the workshop. For one and a half days, these scholars presented, discussed, debated, and synthesized ideas related to social and collaborative information seeking theories and applications. The workshop report can be found at http://infoseeking.org/scis/?q=filebrowser/download/96 . It details the ideas discussed, issues brought forward, and applications envisioned. More importantly, it provides a ready reference to important advances and future directions in the domains of collaborative and social search, collaborative information seeking behavior, social information seeking, and their applications to areas such as healthcare, e-governance, and education. The workshop website is http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/SCIS/ , which hosts abstracts and slides of the invited talks from the workshop. We hope these resources provide important and useful references to those interested in the rapidly evolving area of SCIS and related domains. Feel free to share this information with those who might benefit from them.
