From the Program Committee ChairsWelcome to the Fifth Annual iConference, this year at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The 2010 iConference theme addresses the impacts of the iSchool movement inside and outside our community. More than 300 scholars, professionals, and students from diverse backgrounds are gathering for four days to explore, discuss, and debate the complex issues at the nexus of people, information, and technology.In 40 sessions (20 paper sessions, 14 roundtables and 6 wildcard sessions), we will consider two overarching questions:• What are the broad impacts (actualized and potential) of the iSchool movement?• How can impact be defined, identified, measured, and communicated to key audiences?We will also reflect upon the core activities of the iSchool community, including research, design, methods and epistemologies, educational practices, and engagement between the iSchools and wider constituencies both in the United States and abroad.Contributions also reflect more broadly on complex interrelationships among people, information, and technology in the iSociety, particularly those focusing on public and private sector settings.Overall there were 239 submissions to this conference. We are pleased that 53 papers, 14 roundtables, 6 wildcards and 78 posters have been accepted. For your convenience, there are seven tracks into which the papers have been placed: diversity, information retrieval, information organization, information behavior, e-government and e-science, iSchool curriculum and pedagogy, and a special iSchool associate deans' research track. The posters are organized into eight categories: diversity, digital libraries, e-government and e-science, information behavior, information management, information organization, information retrieval, and the iSchools.With its plenaries, paper and poster sessions, roundtables, wildcard sessions, preconference workshops, doctoral colloquium, mentoring sessions, and ample opportunities for conversations and connections at the reception, lunches, breaks, banquet, and evening discussions, the iConference celebrates and engages our multidisciplinary and diverse research communities, drawing on the interest and expertise of people across disciplinary and organizational boundaries. We invite you to engage with your iSchool colleagues throughout the conference, learn about each others' work and consider the many ways that we create impact.
