<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The 43rd annual conference of the International Association for Social Science Information Services and Technology (IASSIST) will be held in Lawrence, Kansas from May 23-16, 2017. #iassist17</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">Many issues around data (sources, strategies, and tools) are similar across disciplines. 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! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
