***PAPERS DEADLINE Sept. 12***

Greetings to everyone!

The submissions deadlines for iConference 2012 are fast approaching, with
papers due Monday, Sept. 12. Make plans to put the finishing touches on your
paper and deliver it on our secure submissions website:
<http://bit.ly/iconf12sub> http://bit.ly/iconf12sub. 

Workshop and AE proposals are due Monday, Sept. 19, and the deadline for
Poster abstracts is Monday, Sept. 26.

The 2012 iConference will be our seventh annual gathering of scholars,
researchers, and professionals who share an interest in the critical
information issues of contemporary society. The conference will push the
boundaries of information studies, explore core concepts and ideas, and
create new technological and conceptual configurations. The four-day event
takes place in downtown Toronto, February 7-10, 2012. The conference theme
is: Culture * Design * Society.

Authors and organizers can now submit papers, poster abstracts, alternative
events proposals, and workshop proposals using our secure submissions
website:  <http://bit.ly/iconf12sub> http://bit.ly/iconf12sub. All
submitting authors must provide basic information and agree to copyright
parameters as a condition of acceptance and publication. Papers and poster
abstracts will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

In addition, a Doctoral Student Colloquium is being organized, with funding
from the National Science Foundation. Applications for the colloquium are
due by Friday, Sept. 30. Learn more at

Colloquium is also in the works.

The iConference series is sponsored by the iSchools, a growing association
of more than 30 Schools, Faculties and Colleges in North America, Europe and
Asia—however, affiliation with the iSchools is not a prerequisite, and we
encourage everyone to participate. Presenting sponsors of iConference 2012
include NSF and Microsoft Research.
