The 3rd i³ Conference – 20-23 June 2011 at 
Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, 
Scotland, United Kingdom 
  
The i3 conference is concerned with the quality 
and effectiveness of the interaction between 
people and information and how this 
interaction can bring about change in 
individuals, organizations, communities and 
society.  The conference will look beyond the 
issues of use and accessibility of technology to 
questions about the way people interact with 
the information and knowledge content of 
today's systems and services, and how this 
might ultimately affect the impact of that 
information on individuals, organizations and 
communities. 
 
Keynote speakers in 2011 will include: 

• Dr. Ross J. Todd (School of 
Communication and Information, 
Rutgers University); 

• Dr. Jette Hyldegård (Royal School of 
Library and Information Science, 
Copenhagen); 

• Dr. Eric T. Meyer (Oxford Internet 
Institute, University of Oxford). 

 
We invite the submission of high quality 
papers that report original research or 
critically discuss underlying methodological 
issues associated with the main themes of the 
conference.  Papers may reflect ongoing or 

completed research studies and should not 
have been previously published or be 
currently under consideration for publication 
elsewhere.  We would particularly welcome 
papers which address two or more of the 
following conference themes: 

• the quality and effectiveness of 
user/information interactions (e.g. 
information literacy); 

• patterns of information behaviour in 
different contexts; 

• impact of information or information 
services on people, organizations, 
communities and society (e.g. social, 
learning, cultural and economic 
outcomes of engagement with 
information); and  

• more effective use of information in 
decision making. 

 
Submissions are invited for: 

• Full papers; (40 minutes duration: 35 
minutes, 5 minutes for questions); 

• Short papers (15 minutes duration: 
questions at end of session); 

• Posters; and  
• Round table discussions (60-80 

minutes duration). 
 
Authors who are accepted to give full papers 
at i3 are also invited to submit a full paper for 
publication in a special issue for the journal
