³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

The 9th EBSI-SIS Symposium will be held at the ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ School of Information Studies on Friday, January 29, 2016 from 1-6 pm. This annual event is organized by students at the School of Information Studies at ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ and EBSI at the Université de Montréal.

The purpose of the symposium is to provide SIS and EBSI faculty and students, including PhD, post-doctoral, and master's level students, with the opportunity to present their work to their peers in a nurturing environment. Students and faculty can solicit feedback from symposium attendees in order to improve papers, posters, and presentations for later use in academic and professional conferences and journals, if desired. The symposium also provides an opportunity to discover research being done by other students and faculty and to make connections in areas of interest.

Presentations, posters, training in scientific communication, networking opportunities and food are all included. Come enjoy - the event is free of charge! Registration required - see link to registration form, below.

The event is open to anyone with an interest in information studies research.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The Association of Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T) ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Student Chapter is pleased to invite submissions for student presentations and posters to be featured at the 2016 EBSI-SIS Symposium. The organizers have decided to eschew a formal theme this year, opting instead for an inclusive feel – if you have something exciting to say about information science (either practical or theoretical), especially as it relates to technology, and would like to participate in this year's Symposium, as either a speaker or a poster presenter, . Authors may submit their proposal until January 5, 2016, and will be notified of the decision by January 20th. Presenters must register for the conference. We do accept work that will be presented elsewhere.
