Planning for next year

We have discussed planning a panel for next ASIST Annual Meeting in
Seattle; Josh and Annamarie will work with Mary Ann on developing this panel

A question was raised regarding the role of Information Science in the Arts
and Humanities and what the focus of SIG AH has been in the past, and how
can we develop a rich description of SIG AH.  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.
