2016 ANNUAL MEETING COVERAGE

Abstract

In the December/January issue of the Bulletin of the Association for Information Science and Technology, we began our coverage of the 79th Annual Meeting in Copenhagen, the first ever held outside of North America. We provided a brief news report, as well as the acceptance speech delivered by Peter Ingwersen, 2016 ASIS&T Award of Merit winner. But the timing of both the meeting and this publication's deadlines kept us from providing full photographic and text coverage of the fun, the substantive, the social and the ridiculous at the successful ASIS&T confab.

So join us throughout this issue of the Bulletin for a look at some of the work and fun that members and guests enjoyed in Copenhagen at the 2016 ASIS&T Annual Meeting. Following a photo montage from the meeting, in Inside ASIS&T you'll find coverage of the ASIS&T Annual Awards presented at the conference; a report from the miniBARcamp hosted by the European Student Chapter in Copenhagen; and a European student's personal look at the first ASIS&T Annual Meeting held in Europe. Then in the feature section of this issue, other Annual Meeting coverage includes reports from many of the pre-conference workshops and seminars; the plenary sessions headlined by Greg Welch and Markus Bundschus; and a session on European contributions to information science; and articles from recipients of three major ASIS&T awards.

Though it's not as good as having been with us in Copenhagen, this issue's extensive coverage will certainly provide a flavor of what happens at ASIS&T Annual Meetings.
