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!
