CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION
The first ISIC conference was held in Tampere, Finland in August 1996
and was a considerable success with 136 participants from 17
countries.
The Second Information Seeking in Context conference is intended to
build on and develop the themes debated at the first meeting.
The Conference will offer an opportunity to hear results of the latest
research in the field of information seeking, to debate methodological
issues, and to identify areas for further research.
All participants at the first ISIC meeting will be welcome in 1998 and
we hope that many researchers for whom this will be their first
Conference will be attracted.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Information Behaviour and Electronic Environments
Information Requirements and Information Systems Design
Theoretical and methodological issues Information Seeking in
Educational, Business and Health Sectors
Longitudinal Studies
Contributions from cognate disciplines such as Marketing, Consumer
Studies, Media Studies, Communication Studies, Information Systems
and Computer Science are welcome and may lead to separate sessions.
