ASIS&T Student Paper Competition
The Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Association of Information Science and Technology is sponsoring its annual Student Paper Competition. The competition is open to any student, graduate or undergraduate, enrolled in an institution of higher education in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon or Washington. Papers may represent unpublished work undertaken during the year or may be developed specifically for the competition.
The Association for Information Science and Technology is an association of information professionals leading the search for new and better theories, techniques, and technologies to improve access to information. Some examples of topic for papers might be: users' information-seeking behavior, measurement of information and its use, subject indexing by machines and humans, use of multi-media information services, information security and privacy, and preservation of electronic information.
