Award Citation:

Electronic Publication of the Year

LACASIS Web Site (www.lacasis.org <http://www.lacasis.org/> ), Los Angeles
Chapter

      The Best Chapter Electronic Publication Award for 2003 goes to the
LACASIS Web site.  It is a gateway to information of interest to the
geographically dispersed membership of the Los Angeles Chapter, to other
ASIST members, and to the broader information science community.

      The LACASIS Webmaster, chapter archivist and board work together
throughout the year to identify materials for inclusion. Sections are
devoted to past events, annual workshops, and issues of the OASIS
newsletter.  It includes news about members who have served at the national
level, local award winners, and national award winners.  The website is also
a valuable tool for program planning and registration.  Members may register
for events online using a Web registration form. Many members use the About
LACASIS section to check the procedures manual, to get background
information on election slates or award nominations, or to contact another
board member. The site also provides links to presentation materials and
lecture notes from the annual workshops.  ASIST members nationwide have
accessed these materials.  Congratulations to the Los Angeles Chapter for
creating and maintaining a well-organized, useable and useful Web site!


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