FSU School of Information faculty and doctoral students to attend 2014 
iConference in Berlin

Feb. 27, 2014

http://news.cci.fsu.edu/slis-news/ischool-participants-to-attend-2014-iconference-in-berlin/

Several doctoral students and faculty members from Florida State 
University (FSU)’s School of Information<http://ischool.cci.fsu.edu/> are 
heading to the 2014 iConference in Berlin, Germany that will take place 
March 4-7.

This year’s FSU participants include: Dr. 
<http://directory.cci.fsu.edu/warren-allen/> Warren 
Allen<http://directory.cci.fsu.edu/warren-allen/>, Dr. Gary 
Burnett<http://directory.cci.fsu.edu/gary-burnett/>, Dr. Kathleen 
Burnett<http://directory.cci.fsu.edu/kathleen-burnett/>, Wonchan Choi, 
Laura-Edythe Coleman, Dr. Nancy 
Everhart<http://directory.cci.fsu.edu/nancy-everhart/>, Dr. Shuyuan Mary 
Ho<http://directory.cci.fsu.edu/Shuyuan-Ho/>, Ji Hei Kang, Jisue Lee, 
Marcia Mardis<http://directory.cci.fsu.edu/marcia-mardis/>, Dr. Lorri 
Mon<http://directory.cci.fsu.edu/lorri-mon/>, Nathaniel (Nate) Ramos, 
Julia Skinner, Laura Spears<http://directory.cci.fsu.edu/laura-spears/>, 
Dr. Besiki Stvilia<http://directory.cci.fsu.edu/besiki-stvilia/> and 
Lynnsey Weissenberger.  The names in bold are attending in person and you 
can find more details about their iConference participation at the end of 
this article.

Two doctoral students, Wonchan Choi and Nathaniel (Nate) Ramos, were 
selected to participate on a 
colloquium<http://ischools.org/the-iconference/program/doctoral-colloquium> 
where they will present their research to a group of faculty and mentors 
in an interactive manner.  The forum is intended to be “workshop-like,” 
where feedback is provided to students on their dissertation, as well as 
career-related advice and insightful information on other areas of 
research.

Ramos’ research is about, “Babies, Puppies and Google Glass,” where he 
conducted a pilot study of Google Glass, and how it’s being used today by 
examining interactions with the product shown on Youtube videos.  While in 
Germany and at the iConference, Ramos hopes to “learn from professionals 
about trends in research, how to best make an impact in the field, and 
looks forward to experiencing a new culture.” He is currently finishing 
his second year as a FSU doctoral student.  Ramos earned his Bachelor’s in 
Journalism from Colorado State University and received a Master’s in 
Library & Information Studies at the University of Denver.

Choi’s dissertation topic, “How people access online credibility,” 
specifically focuses on health-related websites.  Choi completed his 
Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Library & Information Studies from 
Pusan National University in South Korea before starting his doctoral 
degree at FSU’s iSchool.

The iConference provides the opportunity for students to request mentors 
in the field who they would like to see are invited beforehand and the 
actual events provide time to speak with these experienced leaders.  Choi 
expressed excitement to discuss his research with a colloquium co-chair, 
Karen E. Fisher, an author of Theories of Information Behavior, as well as 
other prominent attendees.  He said, “Berlin will be a great opportunity 
to hear feedback from the audience and ask for perspectives from key 
professionals about my dissertation topic.” Choi believes the iConference 
will positively contribute towards his long-term plans and interest in 
developing existing and establishing original theories that deal with 
models to assess online credibility.

FSU iSchool doctoral student, Lynnsey Weissenberger, will present insights 
based on her accepted paper, “When “Everything” Is Information: Irish 
Traditional Music and Information Retrieval.” Being an Irish musician 
herself, she uses personal experience as well as research to discuss 
larger issues with world music and information retrieval systems.  She 
mentioned, “the iConference provides a platform for discussions 
surrounding information of many kinds and in numerous contexts.  It is 
particularly important for my research, because I am working with music as 
information and oral information as it relates to music information 
retrieval.”

The 
iConference<http://ischools.org/the-iconference/about-the-iconference/> 
was started in 2005 by the iSchools 
organization<http://ischools.org/about/> and each year it is hosted by a 
different iSchools member-institution<http://ischools.org/directory/>. 
It serves as a gathering of scholars and researchers from around the world 
who share a common concern about critical information issues in society. 
The upcoming 2014 event will take place at the Berlin School of Library 
and Information Science<https://www.ibi.hu-berlin.de/> at 
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and the program is administered by the 
Royal School of Library and Information 
Science<http://iva.ku.dk/forside/>, University of Copenhagen.
