ASIS&T Charges Info Architecture Summit

Ready to scale the crags and cliffs of modern day info architecture? The American Institute for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) -- the society for information professionals leading the search for new and better theories, techniques, and technologies to improve access to information -- has released a call for papers to be presented at 7th annual IA Summit on March 22-27 of 2007. In addition, there are four specialized IA events in November of this year.

This year's Summit conference theme is "Enriching IA" and will examine three things:

1. Rich Information: Share your experiences dealing with rich and complex information
2. Rich Interaction: The Internet is rapidly moving towards a more interactive environment. How does this affect what we do?
3. Rich Relationships: How social computing radically affects how we work with information

Proposals and papers for the conference are due by next Tuesday, October 31st. The will be held at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Additional information here: www.iasummit.org/2007/.
