The Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) held its 78th<\/sup>\u00a0annual conference in St. Louis, from November 6 to November 10. The theme of this year’s meeting was “Information Science with Impact: Research in and for the Community”, with a special emphasis on the ways in which research can be applied to real-life information problems. Presenters and speakers included individuals from all over the globe (among foreign countries, particularly Canada and the United Kingdom) with a wide range of experiences working with individuals, community organizations, government agencies, businesses and industries, and other entities. This year’s keynote speakers were the University of Minnesota’s Aaron Doering, who discussed the impact that educational innovation can have on society; and Sarah Morton, an information-sciences leader from the UK who spoke about ensuring that information research has a positive and meaningful impact on various communities of users.<\/p>\n
