The School of Information Studies at
McGill University is pleased to announce:
SCORE: Serendipity, Chance and Opportunity in Information Discovery
An International Workshop
April 28 – May 1
SIS, Montreal, Canada
Made possible by a grant from
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Aid to Research Workshops and Conferences in Canada
Much of the current understanding of serendipity has derived from studying the world of science, with discoveries such as penicillin and x-rays. However, chance encounters may not be confined to scientific
findings; opportunistic discovery of information can lead to new insights and innovation at personal, organizational and discipline levels. The Workshop comprises an international group of researchers who study the chance discovery of information:
