Apologies for cross postings!
We would like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to you
and your colleagues to submit a paper for possible inclusion in:
The international conference in Information Science and Social Media -
ISSOME 2013
Date: September 11-13, 2013
Place: Borås, Sweden
In recent years, research on social media has had a dramatic
development in most research areas within the humanities and the social
sciences. It is also notable that an increasing number of scholars are
embracing the everyday concept social media as a label for their
research, thereby sidelining interesting theoretical competitors such as
new media, participatory media, participatory culture, web 2.0 and
social technology. The emerging conceptual ecology surrounding
Internet-based user generated platforms are currently in need of
critical scrutiny.
It is important to discuss the role of information science in this
developing research area. What are the specific perspectives and added
values that information scientists bring to the study of social media?
What territories and boundaries can we see have emerged? Furthermore,
what fruitful synergies between information science and other
disciplines could be developed?
We invite researchers worldwide to submit original research within the
topics of the conference. Submissions should be extended abstracts of no
longer than 1500 words. All submissions will be double-blind
peer-reviewed.
For more information visit the conference's official website at
http://www.hb.se/wps/portal/sms/issome2013 and please help us to
distribute this information as widely as possible.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and meeting you in
Borås.
