objective of the workshop is to give researchers a possibility to discuss the
application of discourse-oriented approaches in LIS in a friendly atmosphere. We
invite both Ph.D. students and researchers with or without previous experience
of discourse-oriented approaches. The workshop will deal with linguistic
practices in a broad and inclusive sense. The approaches presented and used by
the workshop participants can be exemplified with, but should not be seen as
limited to, ethnography, narrative analysis, discourse analysis,
ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. <o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">The
workshop will also explore the range of research areas where such approaches can
be applied. Examples of fields where discourse-oriented research is currently
being carried out are knowledge management, information seeking research,
library research, information literacy research, document studies, knowledge
organisation, institutional interaction, archival science, science and
technology studies, computer-mediated communication, and library, cultural and
information policy research.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
