Dear colleague,

InSciT2006 is getting closer and the number of news regarding and
surrounding to the conference is growing up remarkably. As featured
facts we want to highlight the support from the American Society for
Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) and the International
Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI) which are now
endorsing InSciT2006. ISSI is also helping us disseminate InSciT2006 to
the international research community announcing the conference in its
March Newsletter. In addition, plenty of publications have echoed
InSciT2006 Conference, it is announce in DLib Magazine, UNESCO, and at
a national level in El Profesional de la Informacion as well as many
other sites.

These facts jointed to the number of requests asking whether it is
still possible to submit proposals made us decide to put the submission
deadline off to June 15th, so this way new contributions can be added
up to the 220 currently accepted.
