[Asis-l] CORIA '06 & intl IS issues

[Caryn Anderson]

Dear Colleagues,

At the request of Michel Menou, I share the attached 
announcement/reminder of the 3rd French speaking conference on 
information retrieval and its application (CORIA '06) in March.

The request came to me by relay, through another colleague, as Michel is 
currently in a part of the world where internet access is limited. It 
made me stop and reflect on how easy it can be to forget the vast 
numbers of our fellow citizens around the globe who are only marginally 
or intermittently "connected" to the rest of us. They have information 
needs and information researchers and information professionals too. I 
think it is useful, when we are drawing conclusions from our research 
and creating information applications from those conclusions, to 
periodically reflect thoughtfully on the boundaries of our perspective 
and consider when and how they might be expanded (by language, nation, 
culture, socio-economic status - to name a few).

The conference below is also listed (with many more around the globe) in 
the International Calendar of Information Science Conferences 
(http://icisc.neasist.org/).

Cheers,
Caryn
