International Symposium on the Future of Education in Information 
Sciences (FEIS 2018)

Pisa, Italy 10-11 September 2018

An event organized by the Erasmus+ EINFOSE project (http://einfose.ffos.hr)

Call for Participation

-----------------------------------------------------------------


The International Symposium on the Future of Education in Information 
Science (FEIS 2018) is the final event of project EINFOSE (European 
INFOrmation Science Education: encouraging mobility and learning 
outcomes harmonization), which is a European project (partially) funded 
by the European Commission under the Erasmus Plus program. The aim of 
EINFOSE is to overcome differences that exist in the area of entry 
requirements and learning outcomes for Master courses offered by 
European universities in the field of Information Science. The 
possibility of defining common entry requirements could mitigate or even 
eliminate the differences in enrolment procedures at different European 
universities and could contribute to a higher enrolment of students with 
different educational background at the graduate level programs in 
Information Science.


Registration to FEIS 2018 is now open 
(http://feis2018.di.unipi.it/registration). Early registration with a 
reduced registration fee (150 Euros) will end on June 17th.


The FEIS 2018 program is featuring four invited lecturers and a panel 
(see below), in addition to 18 papers and more than 20 posters. The 
complete program can be seen at: http://feis2018.di.unipi.it/programme

David Bawden, Professor of Information Science in the Department of 
Library and Information Science at City University London

Leif Kajberg, School of Library and Information Science, Denmark

Gary Marchionini, Dean and Cary C. Boshamer Professor at the School of 
Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina, USA

Anna Maria Tammaro, Professor at the International Master in Digital 
Library Learning (DILL), University of Parma, Italy


Panel - http://feis2018.di.unipi.it/panel

In search of a balance among human, technology, and information 
dimensions in creating a new curriculum.

Information Science is in a particularly strong position to engage in a 
serious effort to teach about the intersecting areas of human, 
information, and technology from the perspectives of human values, 
ethics, and laws. This panel will delve into the theme of developing a 
broad framework (possibly a conceptualization) for critical topics 
related to Information Science, to be included and emphasized in the 
curriculum. It will discuss the need for careful attention to topics 
that bring in human values, ethics, and laws associated with information 
capture, storage, use and dissemination (such as international and 
national legislation on copyright and privacy; open access to 
information; data and research findings; truthfulness and reliability of 
media and information sources; new literacies and the consolidation of 
the information profession).


ASIS&T Regional meeting

For those interested, on September 12th, back to back with FEIS 2018, 
there will be the Regional Meeting of the Association for Information 
Science and Technology (ASIS&T, https://www.asist.org/).
