Registration is now open for i³ 2013 – June 25-28, 2013 at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK.

i³ focuses on the quality and effectiveness of the interaction between people and information and how this interaction can bring about change. The conference will look beyond the issues of use and accessibility of technology to questions about the way people interact with the information and knowledge content of today's systems and services, and how this might ultimately affect the impact of that information on individuals, organisations and communities.

Conference themes include:

• the quality and effectiveness of user/information interactions (e.g. information literacy);
• patterns of information behaviour in different contexts;
• impact of information or information services on people, organisations, communities and society (e.g. social, learning, cultural and economic outcomes of engagement with information);
• more effective decision making.

The organisers of i³ are delighted to announce the following keynote speakers:

• Dr. Annemaree Lloyd (School of Information Studies, Charles Sturt University)
• Prof. Jane McKenzie (Director of the KM Forum, Henley Business School, University of Reading)
• Dr. Adam Rutherford (Editor of Nature, science writer and broadcaster for the BBC and Channel 4)
• Dr. Christine Urquhart (Department of Information Studies, Aberystwyth University)
