CALL FOR PAPERS
20th Annual Conference ASIST SIG/CR
American Society of Information Science and Technology Special Interest
Group on Classification Research
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada November 7, 2009
Bridging Worlds, Connecting People: Classification Transcending Boundaries
International, interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, cross-genre research
initiatives are some of the ways that we not only push the envelope, but
escape it. As the 20th workshop of ASIST SIG/CR crosses the border to
Vancouver, it is an appropriate time for us to look back from whence we
came and forward to developing possibilities of “inter-“ and
“cross-“ topics, theories, models, standards, and applications.
The overarching theme of ASIST 2009: Thriving on Diversity – Information
Opportunities in a Pluralistic World defines the context for Bridging
Worlds and Connecting People. It is a call for Transcending the Boundaries
that bring cultures and genres, disciplines and traditions of practice in
proximity to each other at the same time that those boundaries enforce
separations.
The 20th SIG/CR will bring together scholars, practitioners, and students
for a combination of theoretical and applied explorations of boundaries of
all kinds and what we find beyond them.
We invite interested participants to submit proposals for papers and
posters to include: name(s) of presenter(s), title(s), affiliation(s),
contact information and abstracts of 300-500 words for papers and 200-300
words for posters. Presentations will be 20 minutes. Papers will be
published in dLIST, the Digital Library of Information Science and
Technology hosted at the University of Arizona.
The workshop will run from 8:30 until 4:45 with a box lunch and snacks
provided. The day will include individual speakers; panel presentations;
and a poster session with plenty of time for informal discussion with the
authors.
Abstracts for papers are due: May 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance of
papers will be by: July 1, 2009 Full papers due: October 1, 2009
Abstracts for posters are due: June 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance of
posters will be by: August 1, 2009
