International Symposium on Information Science #isi2021

The 16th International Symposium on Information Science (ISI 2021) is being held 8-10 March 2021, online, with presentations in either German or English. Registration is still open, but I think when registering late you will only get included from the next day. In terms of live participation I would highlight the session on 10th March, on Information Literacy and Information Behaviour with the talks:
- Omission of information: Identifying political slant via an analysis of co-occurring entities (Jonas Ehrhardt, Timo Spinde, Ali Vardasbi, Felix Hamborg)
- Does the General Public Share Research on Twitter? A Case Study on the Online Conversation about the Search for a Nuclear Repository in Germany (Steffen Lemke, Paula Bräuer, Isabella Peters)
- Open practices of early career researchers: A qualitative study on research and teaching behavior (Tamara Heck, Ina Blümel)
- Information Behavior towards False Information and “Fake News” on Facebook: The Influence of Gender, User Type and Trust in Social Media (Thomas Schmidt, Elisabeth Salomon, David Elsweiler, Christian Wolff)
The website is at https://isi2021.net/ with registration for the main conference and side events at https://isi2021.net/index.php/events/
The full text proceedings (including some more papers on information literacy and information behaviour) are already available at https://files.mi.ur.de/f/b11233047d864a1d822b/?dl=1 There is also a 3D coffee cup, which you could print if you had a 3D printer https://p3d.in/ljhXd/spin
