Dear Colleagues,
The ASIS&T International Information Issues Special Interest Group
(SIG-III) is pleased to announce that for 2011 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 end of 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 <mailto:arorissa at albany.edu>) or
Devendra Potnis (dpotnis at utk.edu <mailto:dpotnis at utk.edu>).
Deadline for all nominations is December 15, 2009.
Best wishes,

Abebe Rorissa
Devendra Potnis
