[Asis-l] SIG-HFIS sessions and events

[Shawne Miksa]

The SIG-HFIS planning session is Tuesday, 1-2pm, in the Executive Board Room.  Looking forward to seeing all HFIS members there. Of course, anyone interested is more than welcome to attend.  We will hammer out plans for next year's conference and select a new Chair-Elect.

HFIS is all over the map--y'all can choose from a variety of sessions to meet, enhance, or otherwise overload your information needs/wants/desires.
