The main theme of the Symposium is âPost-truth and Information Managementâ. The Oxford Dictionaryâs selection of the term âPost-truthâ as the word of the year in 2016 puts forward the need of questioning the accuracy of the information. Post-truth is defined as ârelating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal beliefâ and can be effective in information dissemination processes, information seeking behaviors of individuals, production and use of information. Information management discipline has a very important function in terms of raising awareness of individuals for distinguishing the fake information and facts. For this reason, it is extremely important that the concept of âPost-truthâ and its influences be discussed within the framework of the Information Management discipline and by its professionals. CONTRIBUTIONS Contributions can be theoretical as well as technical and practical. Informative case studies are also welcome. Contributions are not limited with the main theme:  all types of papers, posters and presentations on information management in general are also welcome.

We accept extended abstracts (no less than 750 words) for full papers; short communications, Research in Progress reports, and posters on all aspects of Post-truth and also information management.
