    Dear colleagues,

    we are thrilled to share with you our news!

    The European Chapter (EC) of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) is seeking your contribution!

    We invite you to the online research and networking event on Health Information Behavior on June 8-10, 2020, 3 pm - 6 pm (CEST; Berlin time).

    For each day we will have one keynote followed by short online talks.

    We are looking forward to listen to our confirmed speakers:

     

    Diane Pennington (Senior Lecturer in Information Science, Strathclyde iSchool):

    • Title of keynote: Health (mis)information behaviour in the Covid-19 era' 
      • Dr. Diane M. Rasmussen Pennington is Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Information Science and the Course Director for the MSc in Information and Library Studies at the University of Strathclyde's iSchool in Glasgow, Scotland. She leads the Information Engagement research theme within the iSchool and also belongs to the Digital Health and Wellness Research Group. Her research areas include linked and open data as well as user engagement with health information on social media, including youth mental health, dementia, women's health, and most recently COVID-19.

     

    Inez Bailey:

    • Title of keynote: Health literacy in practice in Ireland
      • Inez is Chief Executive of the National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA), a role she has held for more than 20 years. NALA is an independent charity committed to making sure people with literacy, numeracy and basic digital skills needs can fully take part in society and have access to learning opportunities. Inez served on the inaugural Healthy Ireland Council and is a former member of the Government’s Expert Group on Future Skills Needs which advises the Government on skills needs and labour market issues that impact enterprise and employment growth. She has served as Chair and Board member of a range of charity and statutory bodies. Inez is a graduate of the University of Sheffield (EdD) and Maynooth University (BA, MA, Dip).

    Christiane Grünloh (Senior Researcher eHealth, Roessingh Research & Development, the Netherlands): 

    • Title of keynote: My Work Tool" versus "My Body, My Data": Conflicting stakeholder perspectives on digital data access
      • The importance of encouraging patient participation is not new, neither is the fact that patients have the right by law to view their health records. Similar to other digitalisation processes in the last decades, it may seem natural to also enable patient to digitally access their electronic health records, for instance, via patient portals. Despite being welcomed by patients, this type of digital access and especially the extend of the information shown has been often criticised by concerned healthcare professionals. In this keynote I will present the case of the eHealth service Journalen in Sweden and outline some of the conflicting perspectives and values that accompany patient accessible health records.

     

    We invite all interested colleagues - researchers, practitioners, students - to submit extended abstracts to be published at Zenodo, an online repository for research outputs, and present their topic in an online talk (15 minutes).

     

    We are excited to organize and lead this online event with you together!

    The event is part of the series on Information Science Trends. The events focus on a current research topic introduced by invited speakers from research and industry.

    Our first event concerned Search Engines and Information Retrieval and took place in Hamburg in April 2019.

    During the time of Covid-19, let us hold together and network online.
