[Sigcr-l] Student InfoShare Winners from IS societies in Brazil

[rubensri at ufba.br]

Saudações a todos,

Congratulo-me com Andréa Paula Osório Duque e Maria José Vicentini Jorente por
terem sido contempladas com os SIG-III Infoshare Membership reservados a
estudantes da América Latina a partir desta parceria entre ASIS&T, ANCIB,
ABECIN, EDIBCIC e ISKO. Reproduzo a seguir trecho do SIG-III News Letter (v.7,
n.1, Jan, disponível em
http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGIII/newsletter/v7n1/v7n1.pdf), quando já haviam sido
anunciados os premiados do concurso, mas ainda não se sabiam que nomes seriam
contemplados com as duas bolsas reservadas à AL (vejam nota abaixo dos nomes):

“InfoShare winners for 2007
“We are pleased to announce our InfoShare winners for this year. Below are our
new (or continuing) colleagues (with the number of votes received):

“TOP TEN PROFESSIONALS
7 Barber, Elsa (Menou, Argentina)
7 Kokallari, Besim (Terry Plum, Kosovo)
6 Ala'a Al-Din Jawad Kadhem Al-Radhi (self, Iraq)
6 Volokhin, Oleh (Vika, Ukraine)
5 Gamage, Premila (Shivanti, Sri Lanka)
5 Nkemka, John Achakeng (self, Cameroon)
5 Shafiq, Muhammad (Sue, Pakistan)
5 Vijay (2006, India/Antigua)
4 Dr. PR Goswami (2006, India)
4 Njokou, Ify (2006, Nigeria)

“STUDENTS
7 Mulidnwa, Henry (Student, Wilson, Uganda)
5 Kar, Debal Chandra (Student, PK Jain, India)

“This is a diverse and exciting group! We will also have two students from South
America, courtesy of our sibling information societies there (coordinated by
Michel Menou, names expected early in the year). The only disappointment is
that last year's winner L. Ariunaa from Mongolia had only three votes and did
not make the cut for a second year of funding. If anyone would like to discuss
opportunities for assisting her further, please contact me. Thanks and all the
best to everyone for the upcoming year.
“Caryn Anderson and Vika Kravchyna, Infoshare Officers”

Creio que eu saiba exatamente como vocês devem estar se sentindo com a
conquista. Em 2001, à época em que fui premiado no Infoshare – SIG-III, ainda
não havia este importante acordo cooperativo entre a ASIST (à época ainda não
havia o T de Technology) e as instituições brasileiras que enumerei acima,
sendo necessário que os interessados concorressem com todos os candidatos de
países denominados pelos americanos como ‘países em desenvolvimento’. Graças ao
apoio que tive da Prof. Dra. Lena Vânia R. Pinheiro e do Prof. Dr. Michel Menou,
fui contemplado juntamente com outros 4 candidatos (India, Nigéria, e outros
dois países que agora não recordo). Infelizmente nos últimos anos o Brasil não
tem sido contemplado no âmbito geral do concurso da Infoshare. Estou convicto
de que a premiação de vocês será portadora desse estímulo e mais candidatos
decidirão por concorrer nos próximos anos. Faço votos de que aproveitem ao
máximo a participação na ASIST e de que após encerrado o período contemplado
pelo Infoshare venham a permanecer na associação, tornando-se membros efetivos
regulares.

Aproveito para parabenizar também a Profa. Dra. Miriam Vieira da Cunha por
assumir a função de Co-Chair no SIG-III, conforme publicado no mesmo SIG-III
News Letter que referi acima, e cujo trecho reproduzo a seguir:

"Thanks to the hard work of our officers and members, we achieved a lot this
year, and we were rewarded with the SIG-of-the-Year-Award for our
accomplishments. Among these are: SIG III changed its constitution to include a
Co-Chair and Co-Chair Elect from outside North America. This year, we were
fortunate to have Miriam Vieira da Cunha (Brazil) as a Co-Chair, and
Ifeanyichukwu (Ify) Njoku (Nigeria) as a Co-Chair Elect. This is a tribute to
our commitment to international representation."

Cordialmente,
