[Sigah-l] SIG-AH re-activation

[jrc0043 at unt.edu]

Thanks, Dick, Vanessa, and the others.


Since the response to SIG-AH re-activation is so positive and the email list I 
received has about 100 people on it, it sounds like this is a viable project.  
I will try to contact everyone on the list unless they contact me first, to 
affirm their interest.  It would be nice to write up a SIG-AH history,
perhaps from the previous annual reports.


This should be our initial organizing documents, unless SIG-AH already has a 
set of bylaws under which we should operate.

Arts and Humanities (AH)

SIG/AH explores the applications of information science to scholarship and 
creative endeavors in the humanities and fine arts. Illustrative concerns 
include the computerized storage and retrieval of text, image and sound; new 
methods for the organization of scholarly work; bibliometric and other studies 
of information dissemination; and the social structure of humanities and fine 
arts disciplines. SIG/AH also has an abiding interest in the humanistic 
implications of information technology and the information society.
