Summer Symposium on Research in Information Science: Current & Future Trends
The McGill School of Information Studies and the ASIS&T McGill Student Chapter invite you to attend the Summer Symposium on Research in Information Science: Current and Future Trends made possible with the special participation of a number of ASIS&T (Association for Information Science & Technology) Board Members.
From documentation to Big Data, from information retrieval to information-seeking behaviour, research in the field of information science has evolved in many directions over the years. Where are we going as a field? What are our core domains or skills? How do we prepare the future generation of information specialists, scientists, and scholars to address information problems? Join us at this informal event to learn from those at the forefront of LIS research and education.
