** Chair Elect ** 
The chair-elect, who automatically becomes chair in the

programs and serves as the Alternate SIG Cabinet Representative.  The
chair-elect will assume the duties and responsibilities of the chair in the
event of the chair's absence, resignation or removal from office.  In most
ASIST SIGs, the chair-elect assumes the primary responsibility for planning
the SIG's programs during the year, including the Annual Meeting.

Headquarters immediately following elections.

Statement:
I am very interested in Digital Libraries for several reasons and from
several points of view. As a teacher I am pleased that we can offer
information to all learners from anywhere to anywhere. As an information
manager, I am pleased that we can offer different types of related materials
in one "place". We can link a recording of a piece of music, sheet music,
and criticism all through the access point of the computer.  We have the
opportunity to access dissimilar but related materials from different parts
of a single collection or from different collections on different
continents. Digital Libraries are clearly the next step on the mission of
information scientists; to facilitate knowledge.
