This year's symposium theme "Libraries in Data Science: Addressing Gaps and Bridges" focuses on collaborations and opportunities for librarians becoming involved in data science at their institutions. In our Keynote, we will hear from Kristi Holmes, Director, Galter Health Sciences Library, about her library's success involved in Northwestern University's NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award. Our afternoon panel will be moderated by Sally Gore, Research Evaluation Analyst for the University of Massachusetts Center for Clinical and Translational Science, and former informationist at the Lamar Soutter Library.

While IASSIST has its roots in social science data, it has also welcomed discussions over the years of other disciplines' issues as they relate to data, data management, and support of users. So again this year, in line with this tradition, we are arranging a conference that will benefit those who support researchers across all disciplines: social sciences, health and natural sciences, and humanities. Please join the international data community in Lawrence, KS, "in the middle" of the U.S., for insights and discussion on how data in all disciplines are found, shared, used, and managed. Join us and draw inspiration from this diverse gathering! We welcome submissions for papers, presentations, panels, posters, and pecha kuchas. The full Call for Proposals, along with the link to the submission form, can be accessed on the conference website here: http://www.iassist17.dept.ku.edu/proposals/ Questions can be directed to the Program Chairs, Samantha Guss and Michele Hayslett, at iassist2017 at gmail.com. We are also accepting submissions for Pre-conference Workshops under a separate Call for Workshops, which can be accessed here: http://www.iassist17.dept.ku.edu/proposals/workshops/ Questions about workshops may be sent to the Workshop Coordinators, Jenny Muilenburg (jmuil at uw.edu) and Andy Rutkowski (arutkowski at library.ucla.edu).
