> ANNOUNCEMENT
>
> The Canadian Association for Information Science is pleased to
> announce, Advancing Knowledge: Expanding Horizons for
> Information Science, its 30th annual conference to be held with
> the Congress for the Social Sciences and Humanities of Canada
> at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario, from May 30 to
> June 1, 2002.
>
>
> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> Information science (IS) is the interdisciplinary, scholarly study of
> information and its application within a diversity of social, cultural,
> political, technological, organizational, and individual contexts.  In a
> dynamic world environment, where global interconnections and
> rapidly developing e-content are challenging established
> approaches to the creation, organization, dissemination, and use
> of information, continuously evolving theories and applications are
> expanding the "reach" and recognized value of IS research.
> Advancing knowledge speaks, not only to a process, but also to the
> state of the "data to wisdom continuum" that, through the lens of
> knowledge management, links human intellectual capital, tacit and
> explicit knowledge, and information technologies within a broader
> organizational or societal context.
>
> In celebration of its 30th conference year, CAISACSI 2002 will
> again provide a forum for presentation, discussion, and debate of
> new ideas, original perspectives, engaging controversies, and
> innovative applications.  This conference will explore the richness
> of Information Science from five diverse, though related,
> dimensions.  Each paper to be presented at CAIS/ACSI 2002 will
> relate to at least one of the following:
>
> Theories and Frameworks
>
> As both a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary field, Information
> Science employs a diversity of theories. Papers discussing these
> theories and their epistemological and ontological foundations
> might address the changing paradigms of IS, views on the nature
> of information, models or frameworks for sense-making or
> knowledge sharing, or other related topics. A wide range of
> theoretical perspectives is welcome.
>
> Methods and Applications
>
> Information Science not only builds on its own extensive foundation
> of methodologies and applications, but also draws in creative,
> innovative ways from other disciplines to further the study of
> information.  Papers in this section might illustrate a unique
> application of a methodology from another discipline (e.g., social
> network analysis; cross-cultural field studies; risk analysis; etc.), or
> the further enhancement of an existing methodology within the IS
> context.  Cultures and Policies
>
> Information Science examines, operates within, and is impacted
> by, a diversity of cultural, societal, political, and economic milieus.
> Papers in this area might address such aspects as national or
> cross-cultural information policy, intellectual property, technology
> transfer, information as commodity and/or as a public good,
> globalization and information, intellectual freedom, the economics
> of information, the cultural construction of information, or other
> similar issues.
>
> Individuals and Organizations
>
> Information Science boasts a body of distinguished research
> exploring the interconnections between people and information,
> and organizations/institutions and information.  Papers in this area
> may explore long-standing concerns, such as relevance
> determinations, archiving data and documents, information needs
> and information seeking behaviours, environmental scanning,
> institutional valuing of information, organizational intelligence,
> information for competitive/business/operational advantage, or
> other issues.
>
> Technologies and Systems
>
> Papers in this section will focus on new developments and
> applications of existing or emerging technologies that might
> include neural networks, automatic classifiers and indexers,
> search engines, mark-up languages, Web-enabled collaborative
> work tools, knowledge management platforms, metadata
> applications, communications protocols, and human-computer
> interface prototypes or designs.  Papers may also address
> "systems" from a broader operational or organizational
> perspective, such as electronic records systems.
>
> SUBMISSIONS
>
> Conference proposal submission:
>
> Proposals for CAIS/ACSI 2002 should include a title, be no more
> than 500 words long, and specify how they relate to one of the
> areas within the conference program theme. Proposals with a
> clearly articulated theoretical grounding and methodology, and
> those that report on completed or ongoing research, will be given
> preference. Diverse perspectives and methodologies are
> welcome.  Proposals may be submitted in English or French.
> Doctoral candidates are especially invited to submit a proposal for
> the conference.
>
> Deadline for proposals is January 15, 2002.
