Mit freundlichen Grüßen

We’re in the midst of a major sea change in the way people create and use 
information. Figuring what to do with it all is the
challenge of the 21st century.

That’s where the iSchools come in.
Researchers from the iSchools are involved with the study of information: how 
we can understand and access it quickly and easily—and what technologies are 
important as we continually gather more and more. A growing number of leading 
information schools from colleges and universities across the globe have joined 
together to build awareness of, support for, and involvement with the 
information field. These iSchools explore the relationship among information, 
people, and technology.  
The iSchools are sponsoring the fifth iConference, Feb. 3-6, 2010, at the 
iHotel on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 
The theme of this year’s conference is “Impacts,” particularly concerning the 
Obama Administration’s commitment to promoting open government and citizen 
participation. 
Stephen Wolfram, founder & CEO of Wolfram Research, creator of Mathematica and 
Wolfram|Alpha, and Marti Hearst, a professor at UC Berkeley currently working 
in the Obama administration, are the keynote speakers. 
Hearst, a professor in the School of Information at the University of 
California, Berkeley, 
will discuss how information technology is playing a new central role in the 
governing of the United States. 
Wolfram is scheduled to speak at 11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, in the Chancellor 
Ballroom at the iHotel. Hearst speaks at 10:30 am 
Friday, Feb. 5. Both plenaries are free and open to the public.
Additional sessions throughout the conference will focus on international 
perspectives on information, its management and 
application, public access, social networking, health informatics, and 
community engagement.
