> disagree with our definitions or that many other conceptions abound. 
> Not to bore you with the many varied conceptions of information, the

> experience, the many different things information can mean to 
> different people or to the same person in different circumstances in a 
> lively and entertaining manner.

> The SIG History & Foundations of Information Science solicits stories 
> on how information and its understanding affect our daily lives, be it 
> in work situations, in our private lives, in our research. The stories 
> of information and around information should showcase how effective or 
> ineffective the concept may be, how it can mean different things to 
> different people, how that may have got you into 
> misunderstandings//and how that has got you thinking about information 
> in general. The stories may concern an event, something that happened 
> to you or to someone you know, a talk you heard or involve well known 
> scholars and how they have grappled with this open-ended question.
>
> We encourage scholars, practitioners, and especially students to send 
> us a text of at most,  1000 words which can be illustrated with drawings.
>
> A jury chosen from SIG HFIS members will choose 5 stories that shed 
> startling, informative and unexpected insights into our understanding 
> of the phenomenon we call information and of the field we call 
> information science/studies.
>
> Stories by students will receive particular attention and if selected, 
> their authors will receive a 1 year free membership to ASIST and to 
> HFIS. Membership benefits are varied and can be consulted at 
> http://www.asis.org/.
>
> Stories written by practitioners or faculty members if selected will 
> receive a gift card of $30 as well as 1 year free membership to SIG HFIS.

> Please send your stories to fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr 
> <mailto:fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr>by 30^th may.

> The jury will render the result of its deliberation by 30^th June.
