GSLIS faculty, students, and staff will participate in the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) 75th Annual Meeting this week in Baltimore, including a preconference anniversary event featuring Professor Emeritus Boyd Rayward as the keynote speaker. GSLIS also will host an alumni reception at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, October 29, at the Pier 5 Hotel Harbor Club to provide an opportunity to network with GSLIS faculty, students, and alumni and learn more about faculty position openings, research, and academic programs.
The ASIS&T Annual Meeting brings together research on advances in the information sciences and related applications of information technology, serving as a venue for dissemination. This year’s theme of “Information, Interaction, Innovation” celebrates the 75th anniversary of ASIS&T, reflecting on past research achievements and looking toward the future.
