CoLIS 6: The Sixth International Conference on Conceptions of Library and Information Science: “Featuring the Future”
Borås, Sweden

Organised by the Swedish School of Library and Information Science
Conference web site: <http://www.hb.se/colis/>


We invite doctoral students to a Doctoral Forum held in connection to the main conference of CoLIS 6 in Sweden. The Doctoral Forum will take place on August 13, 2007. Doctoral students are given the opportunity to share their work-in-progress with invited senior researchers and with the other student participants in an open and supportive atmosphere. This is also a good opportunity to meet other doctoral students. 

Participation is included in the main conference fee, which has a student discount (the early-bird price is €200). 

Applications to the doctoral forum should consist of the following: 
•   Thesis Description: A thesis description of 1,200-1,500 words, not including figures, bibliography, and/or appendix of instruments. The description should outline the research problem and theoretical framework, suggested methods, a description of your progress as well as a work plan for the future. Include in your description problems that you have come across and would like to discuss in the Doctoral Forum. 
•   Curriculum Vitae: A short description of earlier experiences of relevance for the Doctoral Forum. 

Submissions should be submitted electronically, as MS Word documents or PDF files, by e-mail to olof.sundin at kult.lu.se. Include in the e-mail's subject line: CoLIS Doctoral Forum Submission. 
Submissions are due April 1, 2007.
