Third Call for Papers ISIC: the Information Behaviour Conference. 2-5 September, 2014: Short Papers and Panels ISIC is now accepting calls for panel proposals. These are expected to address new, exciting, and controversial issues. They should be provocative, informative, and entertaining. Panel proposals should include: • Summary of the topics to be covered. • Name, affiliation and contact information for the panel chair. • Names and affiliations of up to four panellists (in addition to the panel chair) who have made a commitment to participate. • Short summary of their position statements. • Brief biography of each participant. For the first time ISIC will also provide a dedicated track for short papers for work in progress. The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by the program committee. Submissions for the short paper track should be 3 pages (at most), excluding references, and 4 pages (at most), in total. They will be orally presented at the conference with each presenter being allocated 15 minutes, 10 - 12 minutes to present their paper and a couple of minutes to answer any questions.
