====================================
This is the orginal announcement:
CALL FOR PAPERS: Knowledge Organization - Pushing the Boundaries
ISKO-UK BIENNIAL CONFERENCE – 8/9 July 2013, London.
Dear Colleagues,
This will be the third biennial conference of the UK Chapter of ISKO
(International Society for Knowledge Organization). Our previous
conferences have attracted good audiences, and I hope you will take this
opportunity to share news of advances in Knowledge Organization.
Knowledge Organization (KO) is not just a fascinating research domain to
attract our foremost thinkers; it also presents practical challenges to
each of us as individuals, sorting out the files on our desktops
physical and virtual, searching for inspiration via the Internet, or
participating in the fora of social media. But there’s a paradox: while
KO practices permeate society, the name “Knowledge Organization” is
known only to a few. Invisible boundaries separate KO researchers from
the practitioners who could benefit from their findings, and also come
between distinct fields of application such as records management, web
design, librarianship, information retrieval, etc.
This conference aims to explore such boundaries, challenge them and
advance our thinking into new territory. Practitioners as well as
theoreticians are invited to contribute, along with consultants,
researchers, teachers and students, all with an interest in the
organization of knowledge and information. There will be a mix of short
(20-minute) and full (40-minute) presentations, as well as a display of
posters. Speakers are asked to provide a paper to accompany their
presentations. The papers submitted will be peer-reviewed and published
electronically on the conference website, together with slides and audio
recordings. See more details at <http://www.iskouk.org/conf2013/index.htm>
