It has emerged as a field of study distinct from library history and from the history of computing. This panel explores the relevance of other historical approaches and the potential for information history to reach other audiences. Haigh sets the context for the session with a look at the evolution of information history and an examination of the challenges and rewards of reframing work in the area to address different questions. Bowker pushes back the scope of information history beyond its conventional focus on the events of the past century or so, and explores the social and organizational dimensions of this work. His central thesis is that information seeking has most often been a collaborative activity occurring in specific social and cultural settings. Downey examines past, present, and future connections between the history of communication and the history of information, in terms of both research literature and classroom practices. Finally, Aspray concludes the presentations with a look at the use of history in the study of information\u2010seeking behavior and of information in everyday life. Presentations will be kept short to leave plenty of time for interaction between the panelists and with other attendees.\n<jats:list list-type=\"simple\">\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>(Chair) Robert Williams, University of South Carolina<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Thomas Haigh, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, \u201cChallenges and Opportunities in Information History\u201d<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Greg Downey, University of Wisconsin, Madison, \u201cInformation history meets communication history.\u201d<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Geoffrey Bowker, Santa Clara University, \u201c\u2018Did that really happen?\u2019 The search for the useful fact from the Enlightenment to the present\u201d<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>William Aspray, University of Texas, Austin, \u201cThe Use of History in Studying Information\u2010Seeking Behavior in Everyday American Life \u201c<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<\/jats:list><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.2009.1450460123","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,28]],"date-time":"2010-01-28T13:36:45Z","timestamp":1264685805000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["New Directions in Information History"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Thomas","family":"Haigh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Greg","family":"Downey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Geoffrey","family":"Bowker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"William","family":"Aspray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,18]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Information in Everyday American Life Maria Bakardjieva, Internet Society: The Internet in Everyday Life","year":"2005","author":"William Aspray","key":"e_1_2_3_2_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.7551\/mitpress\/3543.001.0001","volume-title":"A History of Online Information Services: 1963\u20131976","author":"Bourne C.
