[Discussion] Advancing The Social Sciences in the Information Age

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

"Advancing The Social Sciences in the Information Age: Change,
Innovation, and Research"

This conference promises to be one of the best yet, as conference
presenters and participants dialogue about the impact of information and
communications technologies on the world and their effect on teaching
and higher education. ECCSSA's 2005 conference on the Loudoun campus of
Northern Virginia Community College should be an excellent attraction
for many professionals as it draws on the many resources of the
Washington Metropolitan Area. The theme of this year's conference is
particularly important in terms of the many ways in which our society
and the world have been affected by the "information age."

A featured keynote speaker at this conference will be: Dr. Richard J.
Cox, Professor, Archival Studies, Department of Library and Information
Sciences, University of Pittsburgh. Cox topic is: "Wandering in a
Strange Land: Technology, Teaching, and Knowledge in the Cyberspace Age."
