ASIS&T 2008 will focus on how people transform information as well as how information transforms people. Submissions by researchers and practitioners are solicited on a wide range of human-centered approaches to topics including but not limited to the following:

• Individual identities and how they are transformed by the impact of information technologies
• The societal archive – is it disappearing and/or being marginalized?
• Societal attentions and how emphasis on information technology either allows or hinders these
• Openness, access and privacy issues
• Generational, economic, and socio-cultural dimensions of impact of information on people’s lives
• Cognitive and emotional aspects of interactions with information
• Reshaping the boundary between personal and public information space
• The effect of collective information creation on authority and trust
• Information by the people for the people
• The role of information in connecting people and community building
• How well is current technology meeting human needs, and what should future technology research and development involve to better meet our needs?
