Joining Research and Practice: Social Computing and
Information Science
October 18-25, 2007 Hyatt Regency Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Web 2.0 and social computing are changing the way people use
and perceive the Internet as well as the ways they work and
play. When users are no longer simply consumers of
information, and become active producers and contributors,
what are the implications for information science? How are
social computing and Web 2.0 trends affecting the work of
information professionals? What current research and
applications are shaping future directions? ASIS&T 2007
aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from
all aspects of information science, industry, academe, and
information professionals for lively discussions and debates
about the social aspects of information, about all things
2.0 (or looking to the future) or higher.

TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS
Contributed papers
Contributed papers present original, recent, formally
conducted research and design projects, theoretical
developments, or innovative practical applications providing
more general insight into an area of practice. These are
generally reports of completed or well-developed projects on
topics suitable for publication in scholarly and
professional journals.
Contributed posters/short papers
Two types of posters/short papers are encouraged.
Contributed research posters present new and promising work
or preliminary results of research projects. Contributed
“best practices” posters present the results of design
projects, practical implementations of an organization's
practices or industry innovations. The content should
clearly point out how the application advances the state of
the art and key challenges, as well as potential impact on
the participant's organization and/or practices in the
field. Especially welcome are submissions that discuss
applications for which a market analysis and/or evaluation
of utility has been conducted. Joint submissions from
researchers and practitioners showing different perspectives
on a single issue are particularly encouraged. Posters are
expected to invite questions and discussion in a personal
and less formal setting.
Technical sessions and panels
Technical sessions and panels present topics for discussion
such as cutting-edge research and design, analyses of hot or
emerging trends, opinions on controversial issues, reports
by practitioners on current information science and
technology projects, and contrasting viewpoints from experts
in complementary professional areas. Innovative formats that
involve audience participation are encouraged. These may
include panels, debates, forums, or case studies.
Pre-conference sessions
Pre-conference sessions present topics such as theoretical
research, management strategies, and new and innovative
systems or products, typically for purposes of concept
development or continuing education. Purely promotional
programs are excluded. Formats may include seminars,
courses, workshops, and symposia. Sessions are scheduled for
half to a full day and require a registration fee beyond the
regular conference fee.
