The 24th Annual SIG-USE Research Symposium focuses on how information behavior researchers and professionals can endeavor to center people and real-world outcomes in their work. As we continue to build and leverage advanced technologies, such as AI, to generate new insights and improve workflows, being mindful of how our work can impact individuals, particularly the ones that are often overlooked during the development and usage of information systems and technologies, is paramount. This symposium provides an opportunity for researchers, scholars, students, faculty, and information professionals to discuss ways in which the values of responsibility, reciprocity, and care can be incorporated into our work through effortful and informed design and practice. Participants will engage in panel discussions and breakout sessions to think of ways they can apply “people-first” approaches and mindsets into their everyday work. This symposium is open to all ASIS&T and non-ASIS&T members. Additional registration fee applies.
