CALL FOR PAPERS - ONLY 1 MONTH LEFT UNTIL DEADLINE!

**************************

Dear Sir or Madam,

we are delighted to invite you to the 20th BOBCATSSS Symposium on
information management taking place in Amsterdam from January 23 to
January 25, 2012. The special topic will be "information in e-motion",
containing the following subtopics:

E-Media in motion: Nowadays an increasing amount of data is only
accessible through digital media. The devices being used to gain
access to this data are developing rapidly.

Organization 2.0: The globalised world demands us to find new ways of
collaborating, learning and working. As a result of that, we will have
to find alternative ways and tools to record and archive our
information.

My Information: Instead of using a personal diary a lot of people are
sharing their thoughts online nowadays, on social networks,
communities and blogs, hardly hiding their personal information. How
can people keep track of other people seeing, using and sharing their
content?

Access to Public Information: In a democratic process it is crucial
that citizens have access to public information. How can that be made
possible and how can people learn to use that information critically?

You are very welcome to take active part in the conference by
contributing a speech, workshop or poster, whether you're a
professional, teacher or student.

Also, you can now register at our Conftool as a speaker or
participant: https://www.conftool.pro/bobcatsss2012/

For further information, please see our website http://www.bobcatsss2012.org/

PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT UNTIL OCTOBER 1, 2011.We are looking
forward to seeing you in Amsterdam.

Yours faithfully,

Ilka Schiele
BOBCATSSS 2012 Programme Team
and
Selina Chadde
BOBCATSSS 2012 Marketing Team
