Copyright © 2017 by Association for Information Science and Technology With the growth in sensing devices, data logging capabilities and multi-sensory presentation interfaces, it has been argued that the future of documents is “multisensory, pervasive, and immersive,” and building an agenda around these themes is critical for future information science research. Hence, in this panel, we bring together an international group of researchers actively engaged in research at the intersection of sensors and information science. The panel will discuss the new research opportunities and challenges afforded by the use of different kinds of sensors (e.g., fitness trackers, phones, cameras, fMRIs) for information science research. The panel aims to raise awareness and catalyze a strong research activity on sensor-enriched information science, which is expected to have multiple implications for human information behavior, health informatics, neuro-information science, data science, social informatics and computational social science.
