<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Join us at ASIS&T in Copenhagen for a full-day pre-conference workshop to explore the ways in which our uses of information and technologies improve our work and social lives. Two vital
and dynamic SIGs are joining forces for a workshop that will provide two interesting and complementary perspectives in the conference theme.
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span></strong><br>
In the morning session, SIG-SI will bring a perspective that focuses on the social aspects of information and communication technologies (ICT) in work and play across all areas of ASIS&T. In the afternoon session, SIG-USE will focus on information related activities
from different research perspectives and explores the significance of information seeking and use on our lives.
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span></strong><br>
Submissions may include empirical, critical, conceptual and theoretical papers and posters, as well as richly described practice cases and demonstrations. The combined workshop will allow networking between members of both SIGs during the day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">MORNING: THE SOCIAL INFORMATICS OF WORK AND PLAY (SIG SI)<br>
This year’s conference theme is “creating knowledge, enhancing lives through information & technology.” This is a particularly apposite theme for SIG-SI, because the social impacts of ICT and the complex relations among people, technologies, and the contexts
of ICT design, implementation, and use have long been core concerns of social informatics. The SIG-SI morning session, our 12<sup>th</sup> annual gathering at ASIS&T annual meetings, will bring a critical perspective that focuses on the social aspects of ICT
that cuts across all areas of ASIS&T This year, we are particularly interested in papers that investigate the social informatics of work and play.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">We define “social” broadly to include critical and historical approaches as well as contemporary social analysis. We also define “technology” broadly to include traditional technologies
(e.g., paper, books, etc.), state-of-the-art computer systems, and mobile and pervasive devices. Submissions may include papers and posters that explore the ways in which people’s uses of ICT affect their practices and behaviors while at work, play, and engaged
in their social lives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">We are particularly interested in work that assumes a critical stance towards the Symposium’s theme, but are also soliciting research on other related social informatics topics. We encourage
all scholars interested in social aspects of ICT (broadly defined) to share their research and research in progress by submitting an extended abstract of their work and attending the symposium. Some of the questions we ask include:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">• What are the impacts of ICT on people’s practices and behaviors while at work, play, and engaged in their social lives?<br>
• What are some of the ways our work and play practices shape the design and development of ICT?<br>
• What are the ways ICT positively and negatively impact organizations, work, play, and social life?
<br>
• What kinds of theoretical and methodological frameworks are best suited for studying the mutual shaping of ICT and practices and behaviors while at work and play?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The schedule for the morning session of the symposium will involve the presentations of papers, a panel of distinguished scholars, and the best social informatics paper awards for 2015.
We expect an engaging discussion with lively interactions with the audience. <o:p>

AFTERNOON: INFORMATION BEHAVIOUR IN WORKPLACES (SIG-USE)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">This year’s SIG USE symposium focuses on information issues at work. It acknowledges social, individual and technological perspectives on the roles and flows that information takes as
part of physical and digital work. The broad approach relates to the conference theme with a focus on information behavior (IB) or on information practices (IP) in connection to workplaces.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Earlier generations were accustomed to stable and localized work; now work activities and contexts have and are radically changing. During their work life, people may experience several
career changes, are expected to learn new skills and adapt to new ideas as well as manage the increasingly fluid boundaries between work and leisure. Moreover, much of information and data are internetworked and accessible simultaneously by multiple mobile
devices supporting networked communities anyplace, anywhere, anytime. This challenges both the creation and consumption of information used for work – or at work; it also affects how, when and where people work, as well as their productivity, collegiality
and innovativeness. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Despite, or perhaps due to, the advances in technology, today’s workplaces remain challenged by how to create, discover, share, value and enhance information and knowledge at and for
work; and, how to design and manage the systems that support these functions, which are so critical to organizationally effective and individually rewarding work. The issues are many, from the consequences of new devices that are stretching the ways that an
organization works, to the efficacy dynamics (stress, motivation, collaboration, productivity, age, etc.) and to the new skills and expertise required to work in such changing and changeable environments. Information is indispensable in many, if not all, workplace
activities; as a resource for getting work done as well as for learning, managing change, developing and maintaining processes and creating professional networks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Specific issues to be addressed depend on the interest of the participants and the issues they bring into the workshop. Welcome topics include:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">• Critical cultural information behavior – how do we infuse our workplaces and practices with diversity and social justice sensibilities?<br>
• Collaborative IB; virtual team <br>
• Digital workplaces, peopleless offices & officeless people - what happens when the physical workplace dissolves?<br>
• Everyday Life Information (in the workplace)<br>
• Frameworks for understanding IB/IP in work settings <br>
• IB/IP and workplace or information systems design <br>
• Organizational behaviour research - what can we learn from this field of research that is relevant to IB/IP?<br>
• Organizational information genres<br>
• Personal Information Management (in the workplace)<br>
• The blurring of lines between personal and professional in digital information use in the workplace<br>
• The impact of mobile devices on IB/IP in the workplace <br>
• Workplace culture, diversity and inclusion - how these shape and are shaped by information behaviour (IB)/information practices (IP)?<br>
• and any other work-related informational topics<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">We aim to an interactive workshop to enable the fullest exchange of ideas amongst attendees. For this reason, we encourage participants to submit; even if participation without a paper/poster
is an eligible option. The workshop features a keynote by Professor Hazel Hall (preliminarily confirmed), presentation of selected papers, a joint poster session between the SIGs, and roundtable discussions based on short papers and posters by participants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Documentation: short papers and posters are shared digitally among the participants. Roundtable discussions are documented by a designated person in each group and collated by symposium
chairs to a short summary that is made available for the participants afterwards.
