Basic Members Directory National Chengchi University Graduate Institute of Library, Information and Archival Studies Basic Asia Pacific Member Since 2016 Visit School About The Institute was founded in 1996 with its research covering three fields, namely Library and Information Science, Archive Science and Museology. The Institute was renamed as the “Graduate Institute of Library, Information & Archival Studies” in 2003 to promote the teaching and research in the fields of Library and Information Science and Archive Science. In 2009, we added a new master program, E-learning Master Program of Library and Information Studies, which is the first MA program by the way of distance education to get the certificate. Also, we established PhD Program in 2011. The Instituted was established with the goals to develop libraries with equal weights on theory and practice, to foster superior professionals for the library information service and archives management organizations, and to promote fusion with other relevant disciplines. We also provides inter-university courses for students to facilitate flexible study in cooperation with other universities, to understand the development of the libraries and archives and dominate the multifaceted information environment in hopes of cultivating hi-tech professionals competent to meet the challenges of the knowledge economy era, and ultimately launching the information service to a new level. Presently, the major academic research of the Institute covers: Library and Information Science, Archival Science, Digital Library, Digital Learning and Informetrics, and academic publishing and spreading and so on. iSchool Contacts Chih-Ming Chen Chair of Institute E-learning; Digital Humanities; E-Reading; Digital Archiving and Digital Library; AI; Big Data Mining; Intelligent Web System Contact Chuan-Hsuan Wu Representative Contact Contact

iConference papers push the boundaries of information scholarship, explore core concepts and ideas, and help identify new technological and conceptual configurations. Back to Tracks Short Research Papers The goal of the Short Research Papers track is to encourage the iConference community to present new, provocative, and cross-cutting themes in a short paper submission. Short research papers might include, but are not limited to, critical literature reviews of an emerging topic, theory building that is in the early stages of development, or new analysis / methods applied to existing data. Short papers are more focused and succinct contributions to the research program and are likely to have a smaller scope of contribution than Full Research Papers . For example, short papers on applications design may not cover the entire iterative design cycle (observation, design, implementation, evaluation, etc.) but may instead go into depth in specific areas.

View all communities Qualitative Research Group The Qualitative Research Group invites and includes all who are interested in qualitative research, from those first exploring to experienced researchers. The purpose is to connect qualitative researchers at any level or career stage, exchanging knowledge and practices to enrich each others’ work. This group shares strategies for all aspects of qualitative research, including topics like why qualitative approaches matter, when to use them, ethical human subjects protocols, data gathering practices, and analytic approaches ranging from software to sticky notes. Conference sessions and webinar topics are developed to support researchers as they use methods across epistemologies, engaging all aspects of information behavior, practice, everyday life, and beyond. The Qualitative Research Group is committed to supporting, explaining, and communicating the importance of qualitative approaches to audiences inside and outside of the academy.
