[Subject: International Calendar of Information Science Conferences]

** Please excuse duplicate postings **

The Special Interest Group on International
Information Issues (SIG/III), the European
(ASIST/EC) and the New England (NEASIST)
chapters of ASIS&T (American Society for
Information Science & Technology) are pleased to announce:

The International Calendar of Information Science Conferences (ICISC)

http://icisc.neasist.org/

This centralized, master calendar of relevant
conferences being held around the world serves three primary purposes:

- to help information science researchers and
practitioners (and their colleagues in related
disciplines) to discover which conferences are
planned that might fulfill their need to
communicate their knowledge and experience and learn from others; and,

- to help conference organizers avoid time or
topic conflicts, or coordinate with other groups,
leading to more interaction and coherence
among professional groups; and,

- to contribute to facilitating interaction among
like-minded professionals working on information problems around the globe.

This calendar is meant as a cooperative venture.
Any organization or conference organizer is
cordially invited to submit relevant
conferences, either confirmed or planned, to the
ICISC Calendar. Detailed instructions for
registering a conference directly, through a
submission form, or by Email can be found on the
Web site. The site is moderated and the
sponsoring organizations reserve the right to
discard entries that would not be deemed appropriate.

The calendar is in English at the moment. We hope
that more languages and/or mirror sites could be
added in the future. Announcements can be passed
in any language that can be presented in Latin
characters, provided an English translation of at
least the conference place, title and dates is also included.

In addition to the dynamic and searchable
calendar available for viewing in both block and
list style, there is a "Quick Calendar" listing
all the events on a static HTML web page useful
for printing, or for those with slower internet
connections. ICISC further offers the option to
subscribe to an RSS feed to keep up to date on the latest additions.

The web site further includes lists of electronic
fora, societies, networks, and rotating
conferences in Information science. Suggestions
of relevant entries will be most welcome.

We hope that you will find this calendar useful
from an organizational and/or individual stand
point. We encourage you to contribute to the
calendar and offer your suggestions. Be sure to
subscribe to the RSS/XML feed to stay up to date
on new additions to the calendar.
