ANNOUNCEMENT
The Canadian Association for Information Science is pleased to announce
its 29th annual conference, "Beyond the Web: Technologies, Knowledge and
People," to be held with the Congress for the Social Sciences and
Humanities of Canada at the Universit Laval, Qubec, May 27-29, 2001.
In our field, theory meets practice; people interact with
technology; conventional libraries are integrated into information
architectures; computing power confronts articulated policy; data becomes
knowledge. All of our work, however specialized, takes place in a broader
context of diverse and challenging scholarship: library science,
mathematics, computer science, management science, sociology, education,
psychology, philosophy, economics, political science and cultural
studies. The conference, therefore, has three distinct but related themes:
Technologies
How new theories and applications of information technology are shaping
and reshaping our information preferences and expectations, within
traditional libraries, archives, and other burgeoning information systems
and services.
and services.
Knowledge
How discourse communities, fields of knowledge and information ecologies
are defining and redefining themselves in changing technological, social
and political contexts.
People
How individuals, and their many diverse communities, interact with their
information environments, both technological and intellectual, at a
cognitive, cultural or intellectual level.
