The InSITE 2011 conference is being held in
Novi Sad (New Garden), Serbia this June. Submissions are due in November
at http://InSITE.nu. Please volunteer (at
http://volunteer.InSITE.nu) to
review.
Why Novi Sad? Novi
Sad is known as the cultural capital of Serbia because of the variety of
museums, galleries, and events. Its center has a large pedestrian zone, filled
with shops and outdoor cafés. It is safe to walk any time of day or
night. The city is on the banks of the Danube, and is renowned as having the
second best river beach in Europe; many restaurants overlooking the river. The
conference banquet will be held at one of these restaurants. In addition to the
paper sessions, we are offering a day trip to Belgrade, a day trip to the area
around Novi Sad, and a half-day walking tour of the city.
The conference host and co-organizer, the Higher
Education Technical School of Professional Studies, Novi Sad, is dedicated to
continuing the InSITE tradition of a collegial, supportive
atmosphere in which to share your research and network with other delegates
from around the world. The school is in the city center, a short walk from the
conference hotels. We have obtained substantial discounts at three hotels on
the pedestrian zone of the city center. (Please see below.)
Novi Sad is about an hour drive from the Belgrade
airport, and we have arranged for frequent transportation from the airport to
your hotel for $15 per person each way. Novi Sad can also be reached by bus or
train from many cities, as well as by car.
Please submit a paper by November 30 and join us in Novi
Sad this June. Please also share information about the conference with your
colleagues. The call for papers can be downloaded from http://www.InSITE.nu/docs/2011CFP.pdf,
details about the conference are on the web at http://insite.nu/.
Paper submissions are accepted now through November 30, 2010.
Papers typically undergo blind review by 4 or more
reviewers. All accepted papers will be published in the
proceedings. Selected papers will be fast-tracked for publication in the
journals Informing Science, Journal of Information Technology Education,
Interdisciplinary Journal of E-Learning and Learning Objects, Interdisciplinary
Journal of Doctoral Studies, Interdisciplinary Journal of Information,
Knowledge, and Management, or the journal Issues in Informing Science and
Information Technology.
Affordable Fees

conference affordable. Here are some preliminary pricing for those making
their budget requests now.

start at 25 Euros per night for a single room with breakfast. We have
secured rooms at three hotels that range from 3-star to 4-star and can provide
