From rhill at asis.org Fri Apr 11 11:06:40 2014 From: rhill at asis.org (Richard Hill) Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2014 11:06:40 -0400 Subject: [Asist-announce] Const. Amend, New Home Page, Webinars, Bulletin and JASIST TOCs Message-ID: <713ABB2508204C5A817E1D75B653604A@asist.local> AMENDMENT to the ASIS&T Constitution. ASIS&T members voted overwhelmingly in favor of the 2014 Amendment to the ASIS&T Constitution, shortening the number of days in which ballots are to be returned. This change makes the constitution symmetrical with the bylaws which were previously amended. ___ NEW ASIS&T HOME PAGE/web design RFP. http://www.asis.org/index.html has been redesigned by a task force led by Diane Rasmussen Pennington. The old home page is available via a link. This is the beginning of a process to revitalize and presented a cleaner face to the world. We have also issued an RFP for complete website redesign, which is open to all. http://asis.org/proposal-infrastructure-April-1.pdf. The RFP will give all a complete sense of where we see the ASIS&T web site going. --- UPCOMING WEBINARS April 16 SIG USE: Contextual Inquiry: A Must-have Method For Your User Research Toolbox [free to ASIS&T Members] Kate Lawrence and Deirdre Costello April 17 PASIG: What Would an Ideal Digital Preservation Technical Registry Look Like?
