A proposal to build an answer to that question, and enrich the AH community via the website was entertained. Over the next year we will be asking the dual question "What is the role of information science in the arts and humanities? And how can SIG AH support our understanding of this role?" We hope that long time SIG AH members will contribute answers, as well as those new to the SIG who have a vision for the future. We are still in need of a Chair-Elect who is willing to be Chair next year. The possibility of working with student groups was raised and encouraged.
