The conference ran from the 5th to the 8th of August, a good thing since Montréal can be horribly hot in the summer. I had never been to the U Montréal campus before. It is accessible via the subway, though there is a transfer, and the campus is quite hilly as it is literally built into the side of Mont Royal.
I presented a paper based on a study I have been doing examining how users select search terms when searching traditional online databases versus social tagging sites. The paper is now available online. Slides from the presentation are already available. Previously, I had presented a poster at ASIST in 2007 with preliminary results from this study.
