iConference 2025 & new Community Informatics Research Network list

Dear CI colleagues,

I am writing with two updates.

First, this listserv* has been moved to the iSchool at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign: https://lists.ischool.illinois.edu/lists/info/ciresearchers. To post a new message to this mailing list, please use the following email address: ciresearchers AT ischool.illinois.edu

I'd like to thank the Metropolitan New York Library Council for hosting this list during the past several years. We moved the list to the iSchool at Illinois where it will be supported in the years ahead.

Second, the new iSchools Community Informatics group will meet during the on-site portion of the 2025 iConference at Indiana University on Wednesday 19 March 2 PM-3:30 PM local time in Bloomington, Indiana. To learn more about the iConference, please visit the conference website: https://www.ischools.org/iconference

Dr. Khalid Hossein has generously agreed to help lead the iSchools Community Informatics group *virtual* session on Tuesday 11 March 9:30 PM-11:00 PM local time in Bloomington, Indiana. Khalid and I are hoping to provide opportunities for everyone to engage virtually in both sessions of the conference.

Please stay tuned for more information about the conference.

Thank you,
Colin
