DESCRIPTION:The ASIS&T 9I制作厂免费 student chapter is pleased to announce that t
 he annual EBSI-SIS student symposium will be held this year on Friday\, Ma
 rch 15th\, at the SIS mansion\, 3661 Peel\, on the 9I制作厂免费 campu
 s from 9 am to 4 pm. This annual event is shared between the Information S
 tudies program at 9I制作厂免费 and EBSI at the Universit茅 de Montr茅al. This year
 's theme will be 'Diving Into New Ideas: Collaboration as a Springboard' a
 nd will take a different format than that seen in previous years.  The pur
 pose of the symposium is to provide both PhD and Master's level students w
 ith the opportunity to present work that can then appear on CVs.Students c
 an solicit feedback from symposium attendees in order to improve papers\, 
 posters\, and presentations for later use in academic and professional con
 ferences and journals\, if desired. The symposium also provides an opportu
 nity to discover what research is being done by other students and make co
 nnections in your area of interest. To meet these purposes\, the symposium
  will have the following events.  The morning is designed to provide Maste
 r's students and new PhDs an opportunity to start presenting and discussin
 g their work. 1. A formal presentation for Master's students and new PhD s
 tudents to present work completed or ideas for research. Students interest
 ed in participating in this session are asked to submit a proposal of 500 
 words (title\, name of authors\, contact information\, and abstract) to th
 e symposium committee by February 15th.  2. A poster session during lunch 
 for Master's and PhD students. Posters previously presented in other venue
 s are also welcome. Poster descriptions of no more than 150 words will nee
 d to be sent to the symposium committee by February 15th.  The afternoon h
 as the radical change from previous symposiums\, intended to draw a larger
  audience of PhD candidates and faculty who might not have attended the pa
 st couple of years: 3. A research PechaKucha session. Presenters are asked
  to present and discuss 20 images\, each lasting for 20 seconds. This is p
 articularly targeted toward PhD candidates and and students working on res
 earch projects with faculty. Prospective presenters are asked to submit th
 eir names\, subject\, and title of their presentations by the symposium de
 adline to the symposium committee. If you would like to know more about th
 is format\, please check out www.pechakucha.org.  4. A game of Battledecks
 .  In this 'game' - it may have been first developed at the SXSW conferenc
 e - contestants are given a set of powerpoint slides they have never seen 
 before. Prepare to see at least one image of a kitten in the rain. Each pr
 esenter has to then relate each never-before-seen image\, on the fly and i
 n front of an audience\, to the field of library and information studies a
 nd/or their own particular research. Each presenter has a time limit. A ju
 dging panel will award points to contestants based on adherence to the top
 ic\, ingenuity\, wit\, and completing the set of images within the time li
 mit. A YouTube search of 'battledecks SXSW' will give you some video if yo
 u are interested.  5. Time has been set aside for activities proposed by y
 ou. If you have a workshop idea\, a panel you want to put on\, or just ano
 ther fun game to play that revolves around research\, we definitely want t
 o hear from you. The only requirements for the afternoon is that it is in 
 some way interactive with the audience and relates to research in the fiel
 d of library and information studies.  Expressions of interest or proposed
  activities for the afternoon need to be received by February 15th. If you
  have an idea for item #5\, contact us sooner! Administrative issues: To c
 ontact the symposium committee\, please submit proposals\, questions\, and
  ideas to our email address at: mcgillstudentchapter [at] gmail.com. Remem
 ber we need to have submissions by February 15th. We will respond to submi
 ssions by February 28th and notify you whether your proposal has been acce
 pted for the symposium.  Please note that those who present slides will be
  asked to provide the text of their slides in French\, if they speak Engli
 sh\, or slide text in English\, if they speak French. In this way we can h
 elp attendees who are not fluently bilingual. If you are interested in vol
 unteering to help at the symposium\, you do not need to be a member of ASI
 S&T or even a SIS student. Volunteers are needed and of course helping out
  at symposiums and conferences looks great on your CV. Whether you are a S
 IS or EBSI student\, let us know if their is a particular event or activit
 y with which you would like to help.  In addition to a free lunch\, the sy
 mposium committee anticipates a lot of high quality jokes about research m
 ethodology. We can't say anything more tempting than that.
