Award Citation:

Print Publication of the Year

OASIS : Observations of the American Society for Information Science, Los
Angeles Chapter

Even as LACASIS explores new options for publishing the Chapter¹s news
electronically, it continues to produce an attractive, interesting and
informative print newsletter.  It serves a variety of needs‹from providing
information about who¹s who in the LACASIS governance structure to in-depth
reporting on past programs.  The efforts of many different chapter members
go into producing each issue ­ from those who contribute the lengthy
articles to those responsible for layout, advertising, and editing.
Although expensive to publish, LACASIS has managed to take advantage of
innovative cost-recovering strategies such as selling ads and publishing
registration forms and surveys which would have otherwise been mailed
separately.  Congratulations to LACASIS for producing the best print
publication of 2002/03.


Please join me in congratulating the Los Angeles Chapter on a job well done!
