we're hosting a track on darker sides of information technology use as part of the Academic MindTrek conference in Tampere, Finland, on 3rd – 6th October, 2023. Formal call below. Several potential topic areas are very relevant to LIS scholars, so consider
submitting a paper. Proceedings come out via ACM, and have historically become quite well cited, as this is an event that combines industry people, HCI, information systems, media studies, and so forth.<br>

<div class="ContentPasted0">Description: Many potentials of information technologies (IT) relate to increased productivity and performance as industries adopt new ways of working due to digitalization. IT use has nevertheless also been associated with a number
of negatively-associated outcomes and side effects. The term “dark side of IT use” refers to a “collection of ‘negative’ phenomena that are associated with their use, and that have the potential to infringe the well-being of individuals, organizations and
societies”. Prior literature in the work-related context has examined aspects of employee’s technostress, security and privacy concerns, information load, IT interruptions and deviant workplace behaviors. In non-work related context, researchers have examined
phenomena such as technostress and well-being strains in the use of social networking sites, excessive IT use, coping strategies for negative IT experiences, fake news, illicit content, alienation in smart homes, affording extremist and racist discourse and
organization, fomenting civil strife, toxic discourse, and cyberbullying, as well as algorithmic bias, surveillance and ethical issues.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">As new technologies emerge, so do more and varied negative impacts. We invite submissions that explore new, emerging phenomena, advance prior literature and apply/develop new measures, methods and insights related to the dark side
of IT use. Thus, we invite theoretical/conceptual articles, empirical research (e.g., in-depth case/field/interview studies, surveys, experiments, longitudinal studies), meta-analyses and others embedded in work and non-work-related contexts.</div>
