[Sigah-l] Dumain SIG/AH activity

[Ralph Dumain]

Summary of my SIG/AH activity, taken from an ancient resume:

to Information Transfer," 52nd ASIS Annual Meeting, Washington, DC, October

Something must be missing, as I'm pretty sure I was involved in the SIG/AH 
program for the 1986 annual meeting.  And what about other mid-year 
meetings?  I have records of all this stuff buried somewhere, as well as 
copies of all the newsletters I edited.

I've just uploaded the abstracts of my 1987 3-part program on philosophy 
onto one of my web sites:

The Philosophy and Information Professions: SIG/AH Program, 50th ASIS 
Annual Meeting, Boston, 1987

Not related to SIG/AH: I no longer have the foggiest notion of what this 
was about, but I also got a letter published in JASIS:

Letter to the Editor [on pseudoscience in information science], Journal of 
the American Society for Information Science, vol. 38, no. 4, July 1987, p. 
310.

If you remember the '80s, you weren't there.
