Subject: i³ 2009: Information: Interactions and Impact - Call for Papers

***Apologies for Cross-posting***

Following the success of the first Information: Interactions and Impact (i³)
International Conference, (Aberdeen 2007), the second i³ conference will take
place at The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, on 22-25 June 2009. Our
conference website is now live at http://www.i3conference2009.org.uk <http://www.i3conference2009.org.uk/>  , and
conference booking will open on 19th January.

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 look
beyond the issues of use and accessibility of technology to questions about
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.

Call for Submissions

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 with 5 minutes for
questions);
*       Short papers (15 minutes duration);
*       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.

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 and instructions for submission can be found at
http://www.i3conference2009.org.uk/call09.htm . The deadline for receipt of
