✦ Synopsis

No celebration of JASIS should pass without remarking on the contributions to information science research of one of the most august and celebrated gatherings of the Society-SIG/CON. In her call for papers, the Editor of this special issue of JASIS hoped for brief discussions of, among other things, "under-recognized research areas" and "other imaginative topics." No group can be said to be more responsible for bringing both the under-recognized and the imaginative to the information science community.
