Canadian Association for Information Science 26th Annual Conference

Canadian Association for Information Science 26th Annual Conference

3-5 June 1998, University of Ottawa

Final Call for Participation

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, organisation, 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 University of 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.

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:
