Questions re multiple conference submissions
I'm beginning to get questions about whether you can submit multiple submissions to the IR-6 conference. Our aim is to have the most people able to attend and present papers, and to make scheduling as straightforward as possible. Hence, the following guideline ... Individuals may not have their name on more than 2 papers, and may not be individually responsible for presenting 2 papers. In other words, you may submit a single-author abstract, and you may co-author on another one -- but if both are accepted, your co-author will be expected to attend and present the second paper. You might consider this the one person - one presentation rule with a maximum number of submissions of 2. /Caroline --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caroline Haythornthwaite (haythorn@uiuc.edu) www.lis.uiuc.edu/~haythorn Associate Professor phone: (217) 244-7453 Graduate School of Library and Information Science fax: (217) 244-3302 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 East Daniel St., Champaign, IL 61820 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone emailed me saying they had caught this post. I had missed it. While I understand the sentiment behind this new rule, dropping it on us this close to the conference deadline is problematic. It was not in the CFP or anywhere I could find on the conference website. The latter be an issue for those who are not on this list. Previously, the rule has been one stand alone paper and participation in one panel as a solo author. Abstracts have been written and panels have been organized. This throws a wrench into my plans and wastes time already spent on organizing people. I would think this would be the case for my of us. What was the process on this last minute rule change? At this late date, the manner in which this was presented, and the fact that this information is not on the conference website leads me to challenge the reasonableness of this decision. -TED Ted M.

to the best of my knowlege, the post below only talks about papers, not panels. unless someone changed something and didn't tell me, it is still 1 first authored paper and 1 paper/presentation on a panel. no one should be presenting more than twice.

Jeremy's understanding is mine as well, that people can present one paper AND present on one pre-organized panel, but that only one stand-alone paper can be presented by any individual. Nancy

Ah! Thanks to Jeremy and Nancy for clarifying this. I hope I was not being too dense in my interpretation of Caroline's post, but when one of my fellow panelists came to the same conclusion I had thought I better make sure I knew what the deal was. A bit of a panic when a majority of my panel people were planning on submitting a stand alone paper as well! Thanks again. -TED Ted M.

Jeremy's understanding is mine as well, that people can present one paper AND present on one pre-organized panel, but that only one stand-alone paper can be presented by any individual.
this gets batted around every year. i suggest that perhaps the exec and exec comm should do some official rulemaking that governs future conferences and conference organizers... complete with solicitation of "reasons why this is a bad idea" from AoIR membership. the continuing ambiguity is a hassle for everyone. --elijah
Wow, I have posted more on this in the last two days than in the last two years! My request for panel participants has resulted in an overwhelming response. The topics and backgrounds of those who have emailed me are as varied as they are interesting. However, this creates a problem since 14 people seems a tad on the high side for a panel! Therefore, I have a question. Is it possible/practical to have a mega-panel or should we break in up into two panels (part 1 and part 2)? I have seen this done at other conferences but didn't know how it was engineered (either by the PP or the submitters). I didn't want one panel to get rejected just because another one on the same topic is seen as redundant. Obviously, there would be no overlap on participants. I really want to facilitate folks being able to attend. So, I'm at a loss for what to do. Any suggestions on handling this excess of enthusiasm would be appreciated. -TED Ted M.

Alex Halavais did this for blog presentations a couple of years ago - and did a fantastic job, I have to say. It worked out pretty well. Sounds like you are a de-facto "point person" for coordinating your responses :)
it actually is a rule, it hasn't changed since 3.0 as far as i can recall. On Feb 12, 2005, at 4:21 PM, elijah wright wrote:

then that needs to be much more clearly stated, and communicated more effectively, rather than having the annual conference organizers confuse the heck out of submitters *each year*. consistent wording and explanation (i.e., boilerplate) would be a good start. suitable verbiage should be extractable from whatever discussions were had re: this topic. if not, then i would guesstimate that it merits some additional discussion.

I presented this as a guideline rather than a rule because I don't believe we had a clear statement before. However, when it comes to the final program, whether panel or paper, if you end up with simultaneous presentations you are solely responsible for, you are responsible for covering these and cannot depend on, nor expect that the schedule will be reworked to accommodate this. Hence the recommendation -- a strong one -- that you have a co-author on one or other piece. Please bear that in mind as you make submissions. /Caroline --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caroline Haythornthwaite (haythorn@uiuc.edu) www.lis.uiuc.edu/~haythorn Associate Professor phone: (217) 244-7453 Graduate School of Library and Information Science fax: (217) 244-3302 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 East Daniel St., Champaign, IL 61820 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Sat, 12 Feb 2005, jeremy hunsinger wrote:
