Keynote speakers announced for the 3rd i³ Conference –
June 20-23, 2011 at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK.
Keynote speakers in 2011 will include Dr. Ross J. Todd (School of Communication, Information and Library Studies, Rutgers University), Dr. Jette Hyldegård (Royal School of Library and Information Science, Copenhagen) and Dr. Eric T. Meyer (Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford).
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.
Conference themes include:
• 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); and
• more effective use of information in decision making.
Further details, including a call for papers, will follow later this month and information will be available on the conference website at http://www.i3conference2011.org.uk.
