The Information Without Borders (IWB) Conference is a student-run initiative led by individuals in the Library and Information Studies program at the School of Information Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This one-day event provides a forum for interdisciplinary discussion on a central topic affecting all professions represented at Dalhousie’s Faculty of Management.

On February 12th, 2019, the 13th annual student-run Information Without Borders Conference (IWB) will be held in the McInnes Room at Dalhousie University’s Student Union Building. The topic for the 2019 conference is: Information Accessibility. Information accessibility applies not only to governmental agencies and corporations, but to everyone. The conference will explore issues and concerns around who has access to information, how it is obtained, and how knowledge transfer could be facilitated. It will also provide an opportunity for interdisciplinary and inter-organizational discussion on this topic for a variety of professional and student attendees.
