2008 SLIS Doctoral Research Forum

October 11, 2008, 9:00 am to 3:15 pm, E174 Wells Library

As members of a meta-discipline with dynamic boundaries, information scientists develop and strengthen theories from within the discipline and draw upon theoretical frameworks from related disciplines such as computer science, business, sociology, linguistics, and cognitive science. The annual Doctoral Research Forum provides a way for doctoral students to present their own research and to increase their awareness of ongoing research in SLIS.
