Award Citation:

Chapter Event of the Year
It¹s Not Just Google Anymore: Blogs and the Latest in Search Engines, New
England Chapter

ASIST proudly presents the 2003 Chapter Event of the Year Award to the New
England Chapter for its program entitled, ³It¹s Not Just Google Anymore:
Blogs and the Latest in Search Engines.²  This very successful program asked
its participants to take a step back to reexamine the technologies they use
for locating information on the Web.  The first half of the program
introduced blogs as information resources, while the second half took a
fresh look at Web search engines.

More than 161 people registered for the program which featured five pioneers
and experts in the developing fields of weblogs, RSS tools, and search
engines.  The speakers were interesting, knowledgeable and enthusiastic
about their topics; the audience went away feeling much better informed and
energized about these technologies.  The New England Chapter deserves
recognition for providing its constituents a valuable, affordable all-day
program on a timely topic.


Please join me in congratulating the New England Chapter on a job well done!
