[Sig-l] Call for SIG nominations for ASIST-AM panel reviewers ASAP!!!

[Kathryn La Barre]

Greetings,

I've been contacted by the conference chair, Jens-Erik Mai, with the notice
that the panel track reviewing of SIG-sponsored panels will change this
year. Ideally - J-E would "like to assign at least one reviewer who is
affiliated with a particular SIG(s) to be one of the three reviewers of the
SIG panel proposals."

>From J-E:
"What we need is a list of "SIG people" that could be invited to review for
the conference.  The challenge is to get a list of SIG people who are
active in their SIGs and whom the SIG leadership would like to see that we
involve in the review process. Those nominated will be invited to review -
and must accept the invitation before they are sent any material to review."

More information about reviewing and expected submissions:

IN 2012 there were 58 proposals for panels, 30 were accepted.
Last year there were 45 proposals for panels, 28 were accepted.
Only 24 panels will be accepted this year, but submissions are expected to
be strong.

He's asked me to submit one file of the SIG nominations. Thanks to HFIS
which has already submitted the names of their nominees~!

When you send me your list, I need the following information
Name, email address, institutional affiliation, SIG affiliation.

Thanks for participating in this initiative which is designed to increase
SIG involvement in the annual meeting. We don't have much time to gather
names I'm hoping you can submit them by next Friday.

Thanks,
Kathryn
