CFP: Information: Interactions and Impact (i3)

CFP: Information: Interactions and Impact (i3)
25 - 28 June 2007, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland
http://www.i3conference.org.uk

i3 is concerned with the quality and effectiveness of the interaction between people and information and how this interaction can bring about change in individuals, organisations, communities and society. The conference will look beyond the issues of use and accessibility of
technology to questions about the way people interact with the information and knowledge content of today's systems and services, and how this might ultimately affect the impact of that information on individuals, organisations and communities.

We invite the submission of high quality papers that report original research or critically discuss underlying methodological issues associated with the main themes of the conference: the quality and effectiveness of user/information interactions (e.g. information literacy); patterns of information behaviour in different contexts; impact of information or information services on people, organisations, communities and society (e.g. social, learning, cultural and economic
outcomes of engagement with information).

Submission of abstracts are invited for Full Papers, Short Papers,
Posters and round table discussions. Full details of the submission
requirements are available at http://www.i3conference.org.uk/call.htm .

Contributors should submit abstracts electronically by downloading the
online submissions form, located at:
http://www.i3conference.org.uk/AbstractSubmissionForm.doc . This should
then be emailed (as an attachment) to i3submissions@rgu.ac.uk . The
conference language will be English.

All abstracts should be submitted by 22nd January 2007. Notification of
acceptance will be emailed in early March.

Authors who are accepted to give Full Papers at i3 are also invited to
submit their paper for publication in a special issue for Libri
(http://www.librijournal.org). The final copy of full papers for Libri
should be received by 1st August 2007. Acceptance of a paper for the
conference does not necessarily mean acceptance of the full paper for
publication.
