behalf of her co-authors, Andrew Dillon, Randolph Bias, Don Turnbull and Gil
Ok Choi.
- Don Turnbull also participated in a panel on "Information Related
Management Issues: Examining the Applicability of Research Methodologies"

The ASIST Conference is the premier research gathering of the information
science community and attracts scholars from around the globe to a 4 day
session of refereed research presentations, seminars and discussions on all
facets of information studies. This year, the keynote addresses were given
by Tim Berners-Lee and JC Herz, both of whom discussed issues around the
theme of the conference: "Managing and Enhancing Information: Cultures and
Conflicts". The iSchool also had a table at the alumni reception for former
students and friend of the school to gather and catch up on the school and
each other"s lives. Full details of the program can be found at

Conference will be held here in Austin Texas.
