Abstract

This session is part of an interactive process aimed at giving ASIS&T members an opportunity to express their personal views about the challenges and opportunities that the so called β€œinformation society” represents in their personal and professional lives. This process is due to run from July through December 2002. It will include posting and discussion by those interested of short position statements on the ASIS&T and other professional listervs. Selected statements will be summarized through a series of panels. During the session participats in the Annual Meeting will be invited to first browse through the panels and comment in writing. A general discussion will later on take place. SIG/III plans to publish a summary of the process and its outcome.
