Greetings to everyone!
We are now accepting submissions for iConference 2011, our sixth annual gathering of researchers and professionals who share the goal of making a
difference through the study of people, information, and technology. The event
will showcase diversity in research interests and approaches, and demonstrate
how the field creates leadership and impact on a global scale.

The four days will include peer-reviewed papers, posters, and alternative
events. Also being organized is a Doctoral Student Colloquium and a Junior
Faculty Camp; Postdoc Colloquium, popular venues at past iConferences. The event will be held at Seattle’s Renaissance Hotel, and the local host is the
University of Washington Information School. Papers and poster abstracts will be
published in the ACM Digital Library.

Authors and organizers can now submit papers, poster abstracts, and alternative
events proposals at http://www.ischools.org/iConference11/participation/. The
link for author registration and the submission process appears under the
“Instructions for Authors” header. All submitting authors must provide basic
information and agree to copyright parameters as a condition of acceptance and
publication. Preconference workshop ideas can be emailed directly to Program Co-Chair Karen Fisher: fisher@uw.edu.
The iConference is sponsored by the iCaucus, a growing association of over 25
Schools, Faculties, and Colleges in North America, Europe and Asia that focus on
Information. Sponsors include Microsoft Research, Intelius, Serials Solutions,
WebJunction, Washington Research Foundation, and The Seattle Public Library. Our aim is to build community and promote and share excellence in research on
information challenges and opportunities.
