Dear Colleagues, 

The ASIS&T International Information Issues Special Interest Group (SIG-III)
is pleased to announce that for 2010 we will be able to sponsor a group of
deserving information science PhD and Masters students who STUDY and RESIDE
in developing countries for complimentary ASIS&T memberships.

We are soliciting nominations of student candidates for the InfoShare
Student Membership Award.  Please include a Curriculum Vitae (or equivalent)
and a brief description of why this person is deserving of membership,
including their willingness to promote ASIS&T within their networks.
Awardees will be decided by a vote of the SIG-III officers at the beginning
of March 2010.  All Curriculum Vitae will be kept private, viewable only by
SIG-III officers.  

Each membership award will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal
for a second year if the new member proves to be a strong advocate for
ASIS&T in their home country during the course of the year. Awardees will be
asked to submit a report on their activities by next year's Annual Meeting,
which may include, but are not limited to: 


- sharing ASIS&T publications that they receive (the Bulletin of ASIS&T and
JASIS&T) with other colleagues
- promoting the SIG-III paper contest among their colleagues
- serving as a contact/coordinator for ASIS&T members traveling to their
area who may be able to speak about ASIS&T and information science
-having the ability to strengthen the relationships between ASIS&T and the
national/regional organizations
- sponsoring lectures on information science topics in their area on behalf
of ASIS&T

We look forward to welcoming new members to ASIS&T from across the globe,
with your help.  Please start thinking about student candidates among your
networks and send recommendations of deserving students to Abebe Rorissa
(arorissa at albany.edu) or Masqood Shaheen (shaheenma at gmail.com).


Deadline for all nominations is February 28, 2010.

Best wishes,
Abebe Rorissa 

Masqood Shaheen
