1st Call for Papers: ISI 2015 (14th International Symposium of Information Science), Zadar, Croatia (26.08.2014)
Dear colleague, ISI 2015 is a biannual gathering of scholars, researchers and students from information science from Europe and beyond who share a common interest in critical information issues in contemporary society. The conference series originated in the German-language information science community but has become more and more international in recent years. This time, ISI 2015 will take place in Zadar, Croatia, from May 19 - 21, 2015 and will be co-organized by the Department of Information Sciences at the University of Zadar and the German Academic Association for Information Science (Hochschulverband Informationswissenschaft e. V.), in association with the Association of Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). Below and at www.isi2015.eu please find more detailed information about the conference. With kind regards, CONFERENCE HOMEPAGE: www.isi2015.eu DATE AND LOCATION: May 19 - 21, 2015 at the University of Zadar, Zadar, Croatia CO-ORGANIZED BY: German Academic Association for Information Science (Hochschulverband Informationswissenschaft e. V.) and ISI 2015 takes place at a time of ongoing changes in today’s networked society. Recent Internet developments have made it possible to access ever rising amounts of data and efficient analysis tools empower users to identify patterns which extend their human mind. Easy-to-use web services also allow users to be producers of information, a development which is subsumed under the term social web. Social tagging systems, for instance, provide users with the opportunity to perform activities which were primarily associated with librarians and information specialists before. Furthermore, science makes extensive use of collaboration, information sharing and information distribution which are available through network technologies (big data). Finally, Digital Humanities has emerged as a new research domain in recent years. These changes have a strong effect on both information science and practice which are to be discussed at ISI 2015. SUBMISSIONS: Particularly desirable are papers that deal with the following topics, although contributions covering other subjects in the wider field of information science and neighbouring disciplines are welcome as well: 1. Information Science - Interdisciplinary Aspects and Cross-disciplinary Fertilization Information Science: so broad - so small!
