There are some upcoming eResearch events around the place.
The Eidos Institute in partnership with National and State Libraries Australasia is hosting: "Where is the evidence? Policy, research and the rise of grey literature".
National Library of Australia, National Library of Australia, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
Wednesday October 10
9-5.
Recent advances in information and communication technologies are
disrupting traditional publishing models, radically changing our
capacity to reproduce, distribute, control and publish information.
This is particularly so in the case of policy research which is often
produced outside formal commercial publishing channels as 'grey
literature'. The kind of research publications listed on Australian Policy Online.
Grey literature provides both
opportunities and challenges but there is no doubt that it continues to
grow in volume, importance and complexity. This National Conference will explore these
opportunities for increased access to knowledge and research
communication as well as the challenges presented in producing,
disseminating, evaluating, collecting and accessing policy grey
literature.
The conference is part of an ARC Linkage research project: http://greylitstrategies.info/

Some of the Presentations fro "Grey Literature" are available here.

28 October - 2 November.
eResearch Australasia focuses on new information
centric research capabilities, and how information and communication
technologies help researchers to collaborate, collect, manage, share,
process, analyse, store, find, understand and re-use information.
There are also some great workshops at the conference.

The humanities are currently presented with a rare combination of
intellectual challenges such as changing policy environments; the
financial crisis; new technologies and infrastructures; and the
environmental challenges presented by the conception of the
anthropocene.
The Symposium will debate these challenges and the responses that
these have elicited, including the increasingly prominent role of
Indigenous perspectives.

The digital deluge is upon us: On 13 July 2012, the Sydney Morning Herald
reported that globally, the amount of data created, collected, and
shared in 2009 was 800,000 petabytes. By 2020 this figure will be 35
zettabytes (one zettabyte is equivalent to 260,000,000,000 DVDs).

5-7 December 2012
The conference is designed to encourage reflection on both Australian
effects in transnational circuits of meaning and ideas, but also the
inherently interdisciplinary and global nature of Australian studies.
The movement of ideas and people across Australian borders is mirrored
in the academy, compelling an immensely productive, constantly shifting
context for thought and contention that this Biennial InASA conference
will showcase.
