I know the official publicity may not have reached your inbox just yet, but here’s a sneak peek at this year’s lineup for Search Solutions 2021. For those unfamiliar with the event, it is described as:
… the premier UK forum for presentation of the latest innovations in search and information retrieval. The programme includes presentations, panels and keynote talks by influential industry leaders on novel and emerging applications in search and information retrieval.
Here is the provisional programme thus far:
- Katriina Byström, Oslo Metropolitan University: Formulating and treating information needs at work
- Paul Clough, University of Sheffield and Peak Indicators and Olivia Foulds, University of Strathclyde: Crossing the 49th Parallel in Data and Information Science
