Information Access: Commons, Control, Controversy (IAC3)

We welcome original papers from graduate students on the theme of information access and all its aspects as related to archives, libraries, museums and information systems. This broad area of inquiry considers the implications of the organization, communication and ownership of information, and combines the realms of policy, theory and practice. This conference provides students with the opportunity to present and discuss their work with peers, scholarly researchers and information professionals and practitioners. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this topic, we encourage participation from students working on issues related to information access based in all fields of study.
