[Rorissa, Abebe]

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of all our fellow officers of the Special Interest Group for International Information Issues (SIG-III) of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T), we are pleased to announce the winners of the InfoShare awards for 2012. (http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGIII/index.htm)

SIG-III officers vote on a roster of candidates nominated by ASIS&T colleagues or others. These memberships are funded by monies raised at the International Reception during the ASIS&T Annual Meeting. 2011 was a very successful year for the reception in New Orleans and we are thrilled to be able to offer memberships to 9 outstanding professional candidates and 3 student candidates:
