Call for Submissions: Information: Interactions and Impact (i³)
Deadline Reminder: Friday 6th February 2009

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 question 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.

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, 5 minutes for questions);
•       Short papers (15 minutes duration: questions at end of session);
•       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.

Contributors should submit abstracts of 1000 words for Full papers,
and 300-500 words for Short Papers, Posters and Round Table
Discussions. These should be submitted electronically by downloading
the online submissions form, located at:
http://www.i3conference2009.org.uk/call09/AbstractSubmissionForm.doc .
This should then be emailed (as an attachment) to
i3submissions at rgu.ac.uk . The conference language will be English.

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 can be found at
http://www.i3conference2009.org.uk/call09.htm . The deadline for
receipt of abstracts is 6th February 2009.
