Paper Accepted!

I’m excited to announce the paper I was working on for ASIS&T has been accepted. Here is part of the e-mail that arrived in Lupita’s inbox on Thursday:

Dear Ms. Lupita S-O’Brien:

On behalf of the ASIST-2011 2011 Program Committee, I am delighted
to inform you that the following submission has been accepted
to appear at the conference:
    Understanding Privacy Behaviors of Millennials within
          Social Networking Sites

  

So, there it is.

The conference is in New Orleans, Oct 9-13.

Dr. Shah, who worked with us on the paper, said he’ll get funding for us to head down to New Orleans.

As third author I most likely won’t have much of a role in the presentation. This will be a new experience for me, so I’m now thankful I didn’t take the lead for the project.

Other than the Beyond Books (un)-Conference I haven’t been to a gathering like this. I don’t know if Beyond Books was really all that normal in terms of a conference. There were no presenters, no set classes, and no submissions (other than for the stipend). It was a wonderful experience, but I don’t know if it really compares to other information related events.

There’s a ton of work to be done on the paper. The reviewers gave us a nice long list of things to work on. I’m very happy I stayed up to work on the paper for submission.
