Call for participation
CoLIS5; The 5th International Conference on Conceptions of Library and
Information Science; Context: nature, impact and role.
4th-8th June*, 2005
Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
http://www.cis.strath.ac.uk/colis5/
Sponsored by:
- Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC),
- The Kelvin Institute,
- The British Computer Society-Information Retrieval Specialist
Group (BCS-IRSG),
- The University of Strathclyde
This is the fifth in the series of international conferences whose general
aim is to provide a broad forum for critically exploring and analysing
research in areas such as computer science, information science and library
science. CoLIS examines the historical, theoretical, empirical and technical
issues relating to our understanding and use of information, promoting an
interdisciplinary approach to research.
CoLIS 5 seeks to provide a broad platform for the examination of context as
it relates to our theoretical, empirical and technical development of
information-centred disciplines.
