Thick with academics!

I'm off a-conferencing again; this time to Congress 2010 in Montreal. For those unfamiliar with the event (most of the population for instance), this is a gathering of scores of scholarly societies for business meetings, academic presentations and networking. Oh, and food (I've got a banquet to attend, poor me.) As last time, I'll blog the more interesting sessions. I'm presenting a paper on Thursday June 3; it remains to be seen whether it is one of the interesting ones! I'm still undecided on a few sessions; any suggestions?

The plan:
Canadian Society for the Study of Religion - Program
Tuesday, June 1st -
  • Session 1: Religion and Technologies,
  • Session 2: Religion and Aging OR Religion and Nature,
  • Session 3: Graduate Student Luncheon (More free food.)
Canadian Association for Information Science - Program
Wednesday, June 2nd -
  • Session 1: Information Practices,
  • Session 2: Information Needs and Knowledge Sharing,
  • Session 3: Information Behaviour,
Thursday, June 3rd -
  • Session 1: Management and Role of Information Professionals (hey, the alternative was Indexing and Information Retrieval Systems),
  • Session 2: Information Seeking Behaviour (eek, this is the session I present in!),
  • Session 3: Social & Collaborative Tagging OR Infometrics OR Museum of Fine Arts
  • Session 4: Cataloguing & Social Tagging OR Information Visualization OR Notre-Dame
Friday, June 4th -
  • Session 1: User Centred Design
  • Session 2: Information Literacy
  • Session 3: Information Literacy 2
  • Session 4: Information Literacy 3 (See a theme here?)
Homeward Bound!
