March 16, 2009: IA Practice & Research

http://www.findability.org/archives/000231.php

The 10th Annual IA Summit presents a good opportunity to revisit the
relationship between practice and research, especially given the launch of
the Journal of IA, and so I'm hoping to organize a flex track session (most
likely on Saturday morning) to discuss challenges and to brainstorm ideas
and initiatives.

Topics may include:

    * What is the real/ideal relationship between research and practice?

    * Where can practitioners and researchers collaborate?

    * When do students fit in the picture?

    * Why should we care about this topic?

    * How can ASIS&T, EuroIA, and the IA Institute contribute?

    * Who is missing from this conversation?

If you're interested in participating, let me know, and I'll ping you once
we have a time and venue. And, if you have suggestions, please sound off
here or there.
