Call for Submissions: Information: Interactions and Impact (ił)
Deadline Reminder: Friday 6th February 2009
i3 is concerned with the quality and effectiveness of the interaction between
people and information and how this interaction can bring about change in
individuals, organisations, communities and society. The conference will
question the way people interact with the information and knowledge content
of today's systems and services, and how this might ultimately affect the
impact of that information on individuals, organisations and communities.
We invite the submission of high quality papers that report original research or
critically discuss underlying methodological issues associated with the main
themes of the conference. Papers may reflect ongoing or completed research
studies and should not have been previously published or be currently under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We would particularly welcome papers
which address two or more of the following conference themes:
the quality and effectiveness of user/information interactions (e.g.
information literacy);
patterns of information behaviour in different contexts;
impact of information or information services on people, organisations,
communities and society (e.g. social, learning, cultural and economic outcomes
of engagement with information);
more effective decision making.
Submissions are invited for:
Full papers; (40 minutes duration: 35 minutes, 5 minutes for questions);
Short papers (15 minutes duration: questions at end of session);
Posters; and
Round table discussions (60-80 minutes duration).
Authors who are accepted to give full papers at i3 are also invited to submit a
full paper for publication in a special issue for the journal Libri.
Contributors should submit abstracts of 1000 words for Full papers, and 300-
500 words for Short Papers, Posters and Round Table Discussions. These
should be submitted electronically by downloading the online submissions form,
located at:
http://www.i3conference2009.org.uk/call09/AbstractSubmissionForm.doc . This
should then be emailed (as an attachment) to [log in to unmask] . The
conference language will be English.
Submissions will be anonymously reviewed by two members of an international
programme committee specialising in one or more of the conference research
streams. Notification of acceptance will be emailed to authors and will also
include the comments of the reviewers. A list of titles of accepted papers and
posters will be published on the i3 website.
Full details of the requirements can be found at
