Dear Colleagues,

The ASIS&T International Information Issues Special Interest Group
(SIG-III) is pleased to announce that for 2014 we will be able to sponsor
another group of deserving information professionals from developing
countries for complimentary ASIS&T memberships (the financial burden of
which would otherwise be prohibitive).

We are soliciting nominations of candidates for the InfoShare Membership
Award. The award will be given to students (master and/or PhD) and
professionals.



Please include a one-page curriculum vitae and a one-page description of
why this person is deserving of membership, including their willingness to
promote ASIS&T within their networks and build relationships between ASIS&T
and the national/regional organizations. Awardees will be decided by a vote
of the SIG-III officers. All curricula vitae will be kept private,
accessible only to 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:

a.   sharing ASIS&T publications that they receive (the Bulletin of ASIS&T
and JASIS&T) with other colleagues

b. promoting the SIG-III paper contest among their colleagues

c. 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

d. having the ability to strengthen the relationships between ASIS&T and
the national/regional organizations, and

e. sponsoring lectures on information science topics in their area on
behalf of ASIS&T

Nominators can mentor the award recipients for the above activities.



We look forward to welcoming new members to ASIS&T from across the globe,
especially from countries that have never been ASIS&T members or have
limited ASIS&T membership. Women, minority, and candidates from
underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.



Please feel free to circulate the Call in your professional networks (e.g.,
your alma mater listservs, professional contacts at IFLA, OCLC,
international organizations, practitioner groups, academic institutions,
etc.). Please send your nominations of deserving candidates to Devendra
Potnis (dpotnis at utk.edu) or Selenay Aytac (selenay.aytac at liu.edu).



*The deadline for submitting nominations is February 16, 2014.*

Thank you!

Devendra Potnis
