> The University of Toronto's Faculty of Information Quarterly (F/IQ)<https://fiq.ischool.utoronto.ca/>established itself in October 2008, assembling interviews with several
> faculty members at our iSchool, asking their views of the Faculty name
> change, the implications of the iSchool movement on traditional concepts of
> information and its study, and how this shift affects their specific
> research and course content.

> Over the past year we have solidified the journal as a space for scholarly
> conversation, and we invite you to contribute your voice to this burgeoning
> publication.
>
> F/IQ seeks to create an environment for discourse on emerging issues and
> topics in the Information field. It aims to create an intellectual space for
> the Information community to analyse and critically assess the divergent
> topics that comprise our field of study and practice. F/IQ strives to define
> and direct the iSchool Movement through scholarly and professional
> communications, as a means to fostering collective identity among students,
> faculty and practitioners of the field.
>
> Our upcoming summer issue is focusing on reporting on the busy conference
> season. Participants, have you attended a conference or convention that
> really got you thinking? Speakers, would you like to share your insight,
> ideas, and tips for career development with a wider audience?

> Feature articles are full-length papers of no more than 5,000 words, which
> take the form of an academic paper and including a thesis and supporting
> arguments, full citations to academic resources, and a scholarly tone.
>
> Thought and Opinion Pieces are shorter, less scholarly items that exhibit
> reflective, thought-provoking insights about a particular phenomenon or
> observation that pertains to the Information field.These pieces are shorter
> and may not have extensive citations, but illustrate an opinion or
> conclusion that is original and  well-informed.

> Reviews - of a book, a software program, or some other medium of a
> scholarly nature - are  175-200 words long, and include a brief statement of
