Call for Participation
26th Annual Conference of the
Canadian Association for Information Science/
Association canadienne des sciences de l'information
3-5 June 1998
Universite d'Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario
Information Science at the Dawn of the Millennium
For more than a quarter of century Canadian information scientists have
met to discuss the access, retrieval, production, organization,
distribution, value, use and management of information. From those early
days of examining computational ways of manipulating information through
to investigations of information as communication, CAIS has provided a
forum for presentation, discussion and debate. CAIS/ACSI '98 continues
this noteworthy tradition.
CAIS/ACSI '98 will be held at the Universite d'Ottawa, in Canada's
national capital, Ottawa, Ontario. CAIS will be meeting with the 1998
Congress of Social Sciences and Humanities which will offer exceptional
opportunities for creative contacts and fruitful between CAIS delegates
and members of the other 80 learned societies that will meet concurrently.
We seek submissions related to any aspect of information science,
particularly those which exemplify the leading edge of our discipline.
Submissions must include a 500 word extended abstract of the proposed
paper. The author(s) name, complete address, phone, fax and email should
be included on a separate sheet. Abstracts will be refereed; final papers
will be published in the proceedings and presented at the conference.
Preference will be given to papers that report research or debate
underlying methodological/philosophical issues, rather than those that
report on plans yet to be implemented.
Deadlines
>>> for abstracts: January 15, 1998.
>>> notification of acceptance: February 15, 1998.
>>> for final papers (3,000-4,000 words) in electronic form: April 15,
1998.
Doctoral candidates are especially invited to submit to the conference.
CAIS will be awarding a full conference registration and one year
membership to the best student submission. Student submissions must be
single-authored. Please indicate student status on your submission.
Initial submissions in print or electronic form (ASCII, Word or
Wordperfect) should be sent to:
