Greetings,

the ASIST/SIG/CR (classification research) workshop CfP (*below*) may be 
of interest to folks on this list.

this workshop is open to any aspect of classification; and 
interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, cross-genre classification research 
themes are germane to what has been shared on the DCMI Science and 
Metadata (SAM) list thurs far.

the workshop is an excellent venue for making connections w/classification 
researchers--and attendance is often international.  note the CfP is open 
for both papers and posters...deadline..May 15.

best wishes, jane

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


Submit proposals electronically to: Hope A Olson, Program Chair 
([log in to unmask]). Proposals will be double-blind refereed.
