<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB" class="">Information and communication phenomena are at the heart of our daily lives. They are how we know things and yet our understanding of these concepts
and underlying phenomena are at best slippery. Just when we think we’ve pinned or penned them down nicely with a few well chosen phrases, we discover that those phrases are inadequate, that others disagree with our definitions or that many other conceptions
abound. Not to bore you with the many varied conceptions of information, the aim of this call for I-Stories is to bring forth, through everyday experience, the many different things information can mean to different people or to the same person in different
circumstances in a lively and entertaining manner. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB" class="">The SIG History & Foundations of Information Science solicits stories on how information and its understanding affect our daily lives, be it in work
situations, in our private lives, in our research. The stories of information and around information should showcase how effective or ineffective the concept may be, how it can mean different things to different people, how that may have got you into misunderstandings<i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal" class="">
</i>and how that has got you thinking about information in general. The stories may concern an event, something that happened to you or to someone you know, a talk you heard or involve well known scholars and how they have grappled with this open-ended question.
<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB" class="">We encourage scholars, practitioners, and especially students to send us a text of at most, 1000 words which can be illustrated with drawings.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-3.8pt;text-align:justify"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB" class="">A jury chosen from SIG HFIS members will choose 5 stories that shed startling, informative and unexpected insights into our understanding
of the phenomenon we call information and of the field we call information science/studies.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-3.8pt;text-align:justify"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB" class="">Stories by students will receive particular attention and if selected, their authors will receive a 1 year free membership to ASIST
