SIGIR is the major international forum for the presentation of new
research results and the demonstration of new systems and techniques in
the broad field of information retrieval (IR). The Conference and
Program
Chairs invite all those working in areas related to IR to submit
original
research contributions, posters, and proposals for tutorials, workshops,
and demonstrations of systems. All contributions must be submitted
electronically. See the Conference web site for further details:

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors are invited to submit research papers, not exceeding 5000 words
representing original, previously unpublished work, on or before January
29, 2001.  Papers must be submitted electronically, via the submission
web
page. For requirements and details on submission of posters and on
proposals for tutorials, workshops, and demonstrations of systems,
please
see the Conference web site at http://www.sigir2001.org.

MENTORING PROGRAM

As part of our efforts to broaden participation, SIGIR 2001 will feature
a
mentoring program to assist authors with their submissions to the
conference. Authors who have not previously had a full length paper
accepted to SIGIR, and who are unsure about how to best prepare a paper
for the SIGIR audience, will be able to request feedback on their work
from an experienced SIGIR author in advance of the submission deadline.
For details on this program, visit the web site at
http://www.sigir2001.org or contact the Mentoring Chair, David Lewis
(ddlewis2 at worldnet.att.net) .

CONFERENCE VENUE

The conference venue will be the Radisson Hotel at 1500 Canal Street in
New Orleans (http://www.radisson.com/neworleansla), just four blocks
from
the French Quarter.  It is a New Orleans landmark and is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
