Call for papers
16th Symposium BOBCATSSS 2008 (Zadar, Croatia)
Theme: Providing Access to Information for Everyone
Access to information is vital for the personal and social growth of
every individual. However, many people are facing barriers in
accessing information, whether they are technical issues - like
infrastructure, standards or the usability of services; political and
legal issues -like copyright or censorship; social issues - like
information literacy or information behaviour of different user
groups; or economical issues - like cost of information. The goal of
the BOBCATSSS 2008 symposium is to explore access to information for
everybody from the technical, political and legal, social and
economical point of view. The symposium would like to identify the
existing barriers in accessing information and to offer an overview
of new concepts, ideas and examples of good practice in order to
raise awareness and achieve possible solutions. Invited are
