Erdelez, S. (1999) "Information Encountering: It's More Than Just Bumping into Information". Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science, 25 (3). http://www.asis.org/Bulletin/Feb-99/erdelez.html I will be introducing this paper. Questions for discussion will include: are you an information encounterer? How can you foster information literate information encountering?
