Call for Reviewers
The Fifth Annual iConference brings together scholars, professionals and students who come from diverse backgrounds and share interests in working at the nexus of people, information, and technology. The 2010 iConference theme addresses iMpacts. Program reviewers experienced in the research topics, practices, methods and epistemologies appropriate to an iSchool serve the invaluable role of shaping the conference in its exploration of the iMpacts.
The program will feature a diverse selection of full papers, posters and panels exploring the following topics:
- Critical reflection on the impacts of the iSchool movement (research, teaching, profession, industry and service) within and outside of our community;
- IT infrastructure development and sustainability in the home, organizations, communities, society;
- Diversity in the iSociety: inclusion of underrepresented groups—women, youth, the aging, people with disabilities, indigenous communities, racial and ethnic minorities, etc.;
- Information behavior: theoretical, empirical and methodological advances in everyday life settings, eScience and eResearch, information literacy, etc.;
- Information management: life cycle, personal information management, digital asset management, technologies of remembering and forgetting;
- Digital libraries: preserving digital information, information quality, security and privacy;
- Information organization: metadata, ontologies, the Semantic Web, social tagging; and/or
- eGovernment: information policy, economics, ethics, law, technologies of privacy and trust
The iConference organizing committee seeks reviewers to evaluate full papers, poster abstracts, and proposals for roundtable and wildcard discussions. To find out more about the content to expect, see the 2010 iConference Call for Participation. Faculty, information professionals and graduate students are encouraged to volunteer as reviewers. Due to the inclusive nature of the conference theme, we invite reviewers with a wide range of skills and expertise.
