RAILS is the Australasian Conference on Research Applications in Information and Library Studies, the main Australasia’s gathering of researchers, educators, and professionals in information and library studies and related disciplines, such as archival science. RAILS has been held annually since 2004. The 14th RAILS conference will be hosted by the Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University, and held at Caulfield Campus, from 28-30 November 2018.

The conference will include:

  • Australasian Information Educators’ Symposium 2018 (AIES 2018) on the morning of Wednesday, 28 November;
  • Doctoral Consortium on the afternoon of Wednesday, 28 November; and
  • RAILS conference on Thursday, 29 November and Friday, 30 November 2018.

Many of today’s societal and economic challenges requires research and teaching efforts across disciplinary boundaries, which calls for new approaches and questions within information and library studies, and archival science. Researchers, educators, practitioners and students are encouraged to submit papers on the conference theme, “Engaging Research: Collaboration and Community”. The theme should be broadly interpreted, and we encourage all types of theoretical and evidence-based contributions, including case studies. Papers focusing on strengthening research practices in the field will also be considered. Proposals with a focus on professional or continuing education and teaching will be allocated to the AIES 2018 component of the conference.

Proposals for full papers (20 minutes with 10 minutes for Q&A) are invited, as well as panel discussions (30 minutes including Q &A) and posters showcasing works in progress or completed research projects. Abstracts for AIES and RAILS should include implications for practice, evidenced-based practice, and research-focused papers should identify key outcomes for practice. The closing date for all submissions is to Tuesday, 31 July 2018. Acceptance notifications will be Friday, 31 August 2018.

All proposals are to be submitted through the EasyChair system. If you have any questions about the submission process, please contact  Steven.Wright@monash.edu.

Regular updates will be posted on Facebook and  Twitter .

Full papers may be published as a supplement to Information Research, following review by members of the Conference committee.
