Theme of the conference
The theme of the conference is - as indicated in the name CoLIS
- Conceptions (approaches, theories, etc ) of Library and
Information Science (LIS).
Relatively well established subfields of LIS
include:
- Knowledge organization and information architecture
- Knowledge management
- Library studies
- Information behavior
- Interactive information retrieval
- Information systems
- Scholarly communication
- Digital literacy
- Bibliometrics or scientometrics
- Interaction design and user experience
We are especially interested in papers discussing theoretical
aspects of LIS, for example, by putting such relatively well
established information science areas into interplay with broader
issues such as (but not limited to):
- rhetoric and communication theory,
- philosophy of information and language,
- social media and user generated innovation,
- persuasive design,
- cultural diversity in late modern societies,
- social and cultural theory.
- Etc.
