CFP: Open Source Applications (Los Angeles Chapter of the American Society for Information Science and Technology)
LACASIS, the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, is planning a workshop in March-April, 2005 on interesting open source applications. Do you have an information science/library-related project based on open source tools? We are looking for creative applications having to do with the analysis, storage, management, retrieval and/or dissemination of information in useful ways. We would like to emphasize local projects. Please feel free to forward this message to interested parties.
If you have a presentation idea, please contact:

About ASIS&T: Since 1937, the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) has been the society for information professionals leading the search for new and better theories, techniques, and technologies to improve access to information.
ASIS&T brings together diverse streams of knowledge, focusing what might be disparate approaches into novel solutions to common problems. ASIS&T bridges the gaps not only between disciplines but also between the research that drives and the practices that sustain new developments.
ASIS&T counts among its membership some 4,000 information specialists from such fields as computer science, linguistics, management, librarianship, engineering, law, medicine, chemistry, and education; individuals who share a common interest in improving the ways society stores, retrieves, analyzes, manages, archives and disseminates information, coming together for mutual benefit.
About LACASIS: ASIST's Southern California chapter began life in 1961, when it was chartered as the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Documentation Institute.
