IR conference reviewing complete
We have completed the review of the paper for the IR 6.0 conference. If you have submitted a paper, panel, roundtable or workshop, you should have received an email by now with an acceptance or rejection. We received around 325 single paper submissions of which we have accepted approximately 220 papers. In addition we have accepted 17 multi-paper panels, 7 roundtables, and 6 workshops (half and full-day). Acceptances were based on the reviews submitted by the team of reviewers -- thanks all for a job well done! We determined acceptance by sorting the papers by the recommendations given by reviewers. Recommendations were "Accept", "Probably Accept", "Probably Reject", "Reject". We sorted the papers to determine a top set with an automatic acceptance, and a comparable set with an unequivocal rejection. This left, of course, a set with mixed reviews. We made our way through the middle range reviewing papers and reviews of the papers to make final decisions. In general, of papers accepted, the recommendations toward acceptance will have outweighed those toward rejection. Now, the task of organizing who talks when! Looking forward to seeing lots of you at the conference in October. We will be working on the program organization, and will keep you posted on our progress. /Caroline Haythornthwaite Program Chair IR 6.0 ---------------------------------------- Caroline Haythornthwaite Associate Professor Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 East Daniel St., Champaign IL 61820

Caroline, Just to add to your burden in scheduling, I want to offer a reminder of the now long-standing agreement (four years) between the AoIR board and the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research (CCCSIR) to have a panel at which to present the Carl Couch student research award at the AoIR conference. Deadline for our submissions is this weekend. We will have the names of the first, second and third choice student paper winners and their paper titles for you by June 15. I will serve as the respondent for the panel. For now, we just need you to hold a slot for us. This is usually a fairly small event -- we get a dozen or so people to hear the papers, though a couple years ago we had at least twice that many -- but it is certainly important to the students involved. Steve Jones or Nancy Baym can fill you in on the history, and of course, you may direct questions to me. Thanks! -- Mark D. Johns, Ph.D. Asst.
