2007 SLIS Doctoral Research Forum

October 6, 2007, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, E174 Wells Library

The Doctoral Research Forum provides a way for students to present their own research and to increase their awareness of ongoing research in SLIS. 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.
