CALL FOR PAPERS & PRESENTATIONS

THEME: INFORMATION BEHAVIOR AND HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION

As an essential part of ASIS&T, the Asia-Pacific Regional Conference provides a platform to advance the information sciences and related applications of information technology, and support to information professionals and organizations within the Asia Pacific area. ASIS&T Asia-Pacific Regional Conference 2020 aims to promote the multidisciplinary and ever-evolving area of information behavior and human-computer interaction. There are various kinds of users’ contextualized interactions with information, including information behavior, information practice, information seeking, information experience and so on. Human-computer interaction (HCI) refers to a multidisciplinary field of study focusing on the design and deployment of computer technology as well as the interaction between humans (users) and computers. Various information behaviors underlie user-information interactions, which can be transformed to useful patterns to optimize information consumption. Research on relevant topics would lay a key foundation for connecting users and designers.

The conference intends to provide an open platform for the information community to engage with the dynamism of the information field. It will provide an arena for researchers and practitioners to discuss the way people interact with information and technology in a myriad of contexts. The challenging work concerning contextualized information activities will be presented through papers, panel discussions and so on. Scholars, students, and professionals from information science, library science, communication studies, information management, education, management science, psychology, sociology, information systems, computer science, and other disciplines contributing to the research field are warmly welcomed.
