Dear list members
This is your final reminder to book a place at the ISKO-UK July
conference, “Knowledge Organization - Pushing the Boundaries”, while
there are still a few remaining places. In tough economic times, many
events around us are getting cancelled for lack of subscribers. But
ISKO-UK has stuck with affordable prices, and is still the best place to
keep up-to-date and compare notes with people who share an interest in
knowledge organization. See the action-packed programme
at<http://www.iskouk.org/conf2013/programme.htm> .
This conference aims to explore the boundaries between distinct areas
where knowledge organization is applied, challenging them and advancing
our thinking into new territory. It will be the third biennial
conference of the UK Chapter of ISKO. Practitioners as well as
theoreticians are invited to attend and participate, along with
consultants, researchers, teachers and students. There will be a mix of
short and longer presentations, as well as a display of posters. The
papers submitted will be peer-reviewed and published electronically on
this website, together with slides and audio recordings.
One paper of particular interest to museums people is "Joined-up
thinking: linking and sharing Science Museum collections and content",
being given by Daniel Evans and Ailsa Jenkins from the Science Museum,
London.
More details, including the provisional programme and abstracts of the
papers, can be found on the conference website
at<http://www.iskouk.org/conf2013/>. 34 Presentations are scheduled,
including keynote addresses from leading lights Patrick Lambe and Martin
White, as well as six posters. The programme includes demonstrations
from our generous sponsors PoolParty and Smartlogic, showing how their
products are adapted to support evolving needs.
Registration fees for the two-day event on 8-9 July are still the same
as for our 2011 conference, just 180 pounds (full price) or 150 pounds
