*SIG of the Year *

Now that your SIG is on its way to a year of strong programs, frequent
communications and creative planning, it's time to start thinking about the
SIG-of-the-Year Award. Each year since 1976, ASIS&T has honored the SIG
whose professional accomplishments have made the greatest impact on the
field of information science.

The jury for the SIG of the Year consists of the SIG Cabinet Immediate Past
Director, an ASIS&T Past President, and four other members, of whom at
least one must be elected by the SIG Cabinet and at least one appointed by
the ASIS&T Board. All jury members other than the Chair serve two year,
staggered terms without immediate reappointment.


If you haven't already appointed a member of your SIG to begin compiling a
record of the year's accomplishments, now is the time to do so. Ask this
person to keep a file of everything that your SIG does, including
newsletters, directories, articles, program sessions, participation in
other meetings, etc. Be sure to provide the person with the SIG-of-the-Year
Award guidelines (APPENDIX F) and the Nominating Package Form (APPENDIX G).
Then continue your planning for your best year yet.


*SIG Publication of the Year *

The Best SIG Publication Award was established in 1991. It is administered
by the SIG Cabinet. The award shall consist of a certificate to be
presented to the Communications Officer and the Chair of the winning SIG
and other SIG members associated with the publication. The award shall be
presented by the SIG Cabinet Director during the SIG Cabinet Meeting. The
purpose of this award is to recognize the best publication produced by a
SIG (or jointly by two or more SIGs) during the previous year
(August-July). Any type of SIG Publication is eligible, including
newsletters, transactions, directories, or other publications. To be
considered, a publication must be in a format that is readable/usable by
the jury members. Any electronic and/or self-published material should be
sent to HQ in order to be considered. Each year, the Jury shall consider
publications produced between August 1 of the previous year and July 31 of
the current year.


*SIG Member of the Year *

The SIG Member-of-the-Year Award was established in 1991. It is
administered by the SIG Cabinet. The purpose of the award is to recognize
the service of an individual to the program of a particular SIG. It is
given for significant contributions to the membership of the SIG through
participation in and support of its events at the annual and mid-year
meetings, its publications, and its other activities. Any ASIS&T member who
is currently a member of the nominating SIG is eligible to receive the
award. More than one awardee may be chosen in a given year. The same person
may not receive the award in two consecutive years.
