The 7th International Conference on Conceptions of Library and Information Science finished yesterday, and a very merry time (I believe) was had by all.

There was much information science-style hilarity at the ‘Metatheoretical Snowmen’ session, plenty of excellent presentations from the invited speakers, and some interesting discussion generated by the panels.

The theme of the conference was ‘Unity in diversity’ and every contribution went some way to confirming that the range of research interests and approaches in the domain serve to strengthen and enrich information research rather than weaken and dilute the discipline.

I’ll post a few comments on some of the sessions later this week. Do check the CoLIS 7 website for abstracts and updates over the next few months.

Plus, CoLIS 8 has been announced (see http://www.iva.dk/english/colis8/), and is to be hosted by the Royal School of Library and Information Science in Copenhagen from 19-22 August, 2013.
