[Neasis-l] International Calendar of Information Science Conferences

[Margret G Branschofsky]

Dear Colleagues,

As some of you know, our chapter has agreed to co-sponsor the new
International Calendar of Information Science Conferences.  The Calendar
is a collaborative venture of the International Information Issues SIG and
the European and New England chapters of ASIS&T.  It is a centralized
master calendar listing information science related conferences around the
globe.  We plan to send e-mails announcing the launch of the site to over
40 listservs in the coming week (see text of announcement below, and visit
the site: http://icisc.neasist.org/).   

We wanted to be sure you knew of this latest development before the news
hit the lists. If you have any suggestions for the Calendar, the site, or
listservs we may not have thought of, please contact Caryn Anderson and
Michel Menou via the ICISC Calendar e-mail address: icisc at neasist.org.

Also, Michel and Caryn have been working very hard to develop the calendar
and Web site.  They would appreciate any help that we can offer.  If you
would be willing to help add events, respond to e-mails, translate
listings into other languages or develop mirror sites it would be greatly
appreciated.  If you are able to volunteer, please contact Caryn Anderson
directly at caryn.anderson at simmons.edu.

This calendar is a useful and exciting new development that will help
bring more cooperation and productivity to our field and provide greater
visibility for ASIS&T and our chapters.  We appreciate your support in
publicizing it broadly throughout your networks.

Sincerely,

Yin Zhang (Chair, SIG/III)
Tatjana Aparac-Jelusic (Chair, ASIST/EC)
Margret Branschofky (Chair, NEASIST)
