Beside the presentation of the winning video of the Movie Meets Science Contest from <b>Tjaša Jug</b>, this innovative experimental project included an open discussion aimed at bringing together students and researchers from all over the world. We had an interesting time with inspired discussions and great guests. The next day, Sunday the 16th, was the official start of the conference.</p><p>Our first meeting was the Chapter Assembly which brought us a little surprise in the form of an award for our chapter: We won 3rd place in the Student Membership Growth competition!</p><p>What a promising start for the day – and we were not disappointed. After the plenary session with <b>Greg Welch</b>, University of Central Florida, ESC was involved in an exciting panel session about <i>Open Innovation in Smart Cities: Civic Participation and Co-creation of Public Services</i>. <b>Agnes Mainka</b>, her advisor <b>Wolfgang Stock</b> from Duesseldorf and <b>Walter Castelnovo</b> from Milan discussed actual developments in co-creation of public services and the role of information science within it. An important finding of Agnes was that open space is one of the key factors in a modern library. After the panel, we took part in the ASIS&amp;T Leadership Development Program held by <b>Ixchel Faniel</b> on the topic <i>Building and Cultivating your Mentoring Network</i>. In small groups we discussed the role of mentors at our institutions. The day ended with SIG Rush and the student reception, a nice opportunity to get to know the goals and activities of the various ASIS&amp;T special interest groups and to meet other students in an informal way.</p><p>The following days also provided good opportunities for networking, interesting discussions and showcasing the European (Student) Chapter. Just to mention a few examples, we represented the ASIS&amp;T community in Europe at the European Chapter Table, had an active exchange of ideas on diversity with <b>Toni Carbo</b> and <b>Nadia Caidi</b> at the Diversity and Inclusion Luncheon and contributed to the International Reception with a basket from Duesseldorf. In the Poster Session both Agnes Mainka and <b>Isabella Peters</b> discussed the importance of information science by summarizing the topics that were raised in the protest against the closing of the Department for Information Science at the University of Duesseldorf.</p><p>Yet another important event, particularly for students and new members eager to get to know the leaders of the organization, is the Annual Awards Lunch.

Using Brenda Dervin's sense-making methodology, research on ELIS can illuminate information seeking behavior for individuals in many different fields and circles. Qualitative study results from environmental activists, home buyers and unemployed individuals reveal how these groups seek information to help solve everyday problems. These studies highlight the use of information source horizons and preferred information seeking paths of individuals, showing patterns in how far people search for information and where they prefer to begin and end their searches. While social media provided useful information in these contexts, the information was often clouded behind affective factors when dealing with sensitive or controversial topics and thus were not always reliable or accessible to all.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100205,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"43 3","pages":"53-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/bul2.2017.1720430317","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"99664868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
