**Apologies for cross posting** Dear colleagues CALL FOR PAPERS ISKO UK Biennial Conference 4th-5th July 2011 - First Call for papers The second biennial conference of the UK Chapter of ISKO (International Society for Knowledge Organization) honours the life and achievements of Brian C Vickery, a pioneer in our field. The venue is UCL in London, and our theme will be: Facets of Knowledge Organization. Just as Vickery had the knack of drawing out practical applications from the lessons of academic research, so this conference will bring together practitioners, theoreticians, consultants, researchers, teachers and students, all with an interest in the organization of knowledge and information. Proposals addressing an original topic on this theme are very welcome, but the following suggestions may provide some inspiration: •Classification, information retrieval •Semantics and the Web •Putting the user first •Evaluation and testing •Society, networking and collaboration •Models and structure We are looking for a mix of short (20-minute) and longer (40-minute) presentations, as well as a display of posters. Speakers will be encouraged to provide a paper to accompany their presentations. Proposals should be submitted in English by 30th November 2010 at the latest. For further information and submission, please visit: http://www.iskouk.org/conf2011/index.htm ISKO is a not-for-profit scientific/professional association with the objective of promoting research and communication in the domain of knowledge organization, within the broad field of information science and related disciplines.
