We are now accepting submissions for iConference 2016, our eleventh annual
gathering of scholars, researchers and professionals who share an interest
in the critical information issues of contemporary information society.
iConference 2016 takes place March 20-23, 2016, in historic Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, USA. This year’s theme of “Partnership with Society” examines
the dynamic, evolving role of information science and today’s iSchool
movement, and the benefits to society. The conference includes
peer-reviewed papers, posters, workshops and sessions for interaction and
engagement, interspersed with multiple opportunities for networking. Early
career and next generation researchers can engage in the Doctoral Student
Colloquium, Early Career Colloquium and Undergraduate Student Showcase
forums.
Authors and organizers can now submit materials using our secure
submissions website: https://www.conftool.com/iConference2016/. The
official proceedings will be published in the open access Illinois Digital
Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship (IDEALS). The deadline
for papers is Sept. 9, with other deadlines thereafter.
The iConference brings together scholars and researchers addressing
critical information issues in contemporary society. The iConference pushes
the boundaries of information studies, explores core concepts and ideas,
and creates new technological and conceptual configurations—all shaping
interdisciplinary discourses. Visit our website for more information,

iConference 2016 is hosted by Drexel University’s College of Computing &
Informatics. Our conference venue, Loews Philadelphia Hotel, is located in
Philadelphia’s bustling center city. The historic 33-storey building is
hailed as America’s first skyscraper, and is in easy walking distance of
the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, birthplace of the United States
Constitution. Other nearby attractions include the Rodin Museum and the
Philadelphia Art Museum.
The iConference is presented by the iSchools (www.ischools.org), a
worldwide association of Information Schools dedicated to advancing the
information field, and preparing students to meet the information
challenges of the 21st Century. Affiliation with the iSchools is not
required—all information scholars, researchers, and practitioners are
welcome at the iConference. The event is sponsored by Microsoft Research.
