Subject: i³ conference 2013 deadline extended - 28th January 2013

The deadline for the Call for Papers for the Information: Interactions  
and Impact (i³) International Conference has been extended until 28th  
January 2013.


i³ focuses on the quality and effectiveness of the interaction between  
people and information and how this interaction can bring about  
change. The conference will look beyond the use of technologies to  
questions about the way people interact with information and knowledge  
and the impact of that information on individuals, organisations and  
communities.



We invite the submission of high quality papers that report original  
research or critically discuss underlying methodological issues  
associated with the main themes of the conference. Papers may reflect  
ongoing or completed research studies and should not have been  
previously published or be currently under consideration for  
publication elsewhere. We would particularly welcome papers which  
address two or more of the following conference themes:



·         the quality and effectiveness of user/information  
interactions (e.g. information literacy);

·         patterns of information behaviour in different contexts;

·         impact of information or information services on people,  
organisations, communities and society (e.g. social, learning,  
cultural and economic outcomes of engagement with information); and

·         more effective decision making.



Submissions are invited for:

·         Full papers (40 minutes duration: 35 minutes, 5 minutes for  
questions);

·         Short papers (15 minutes duration: questions at end of session); and

·         Round table discussions (60-80 minutes duration).


Authors who are accepted to give full papers at i3 are also invited to  
submit a full paper for consideration by the editorial board of  
Information Research<http://informationr.net/ir/index.html>.  For  
those papers accepted by Information Research, support for the process  
of HTML conversion will be provided by the i3 conference team.



Contributors should submit abstracts of 1000 words for Full papers,  
and 300-500 words for Short Papers and Round Table Discussions. These  
should be submitted electronically by downloading the online  
submissions form, located on the Call for Papers section of the  
website<http://www.i3conference.org.uk/>. This should then be emailed  
(as an attachment) to  
i3submissions at rgu.ac.uk<mailto:i3submissions at rgu.ac.uk>. The  
conference language will be English.



Submissions will be anonymously reviewed by two members of an  
international programme committee specialising in one or more of the  
conference research streams. Notification of acceptance will be  
emailed to authors and will also include the comments of the reviewers.



Full details of the requirements can be found in the Call for Papers  
section of the website. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is  
extended until 28th January 2013.
