From 28-31 May, GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences hosted the 39th Annual Conference of the International Association for Social Science Information Service and Technology, aka #iassist2013 IASSIST conferences provide an overview of what’s happening in information technology and data services and allow exchange of ideas between participants working in different backgrounds - from social science and humanities to information and computer science. The aim of this year’s event was to help us move closer to the dream of technical and organizational measures that make research data discoverable and accessible.

I could say this is needed because the videos and wifi weren’t working, but in fact I’d be asking anyway. Just think how helpful it is for members who could not be with us (and potential members) to get a snapshot of views about what happened. Serious, silly, short, verbose, objective, or ridiculously opinionated impressions of one session, the social events or overall are very welcome. Turn your personal notes into a gift that keeps on giving.
