>Dear Duncan and Anita --
>
>On behalf of the 2007 SIG of the Year jury, I am extremely pleased to
>award SIG of the Year to two exemplary ASIS&T SIGs, SIG International
>Information Issues (III) and SIG Digital Libraries (DL).
>Congratulations on the service and involvement that each of your SIGs
>provides your membership, and know that you are worthy examples of
>thriving, active, engaged SIG communities with ASIS&T.
>
>SIG International Information Issues continues to set the bar for
>everything that an ASIS&T SIG can and should be: deep involvement and
>participation with the membership, extensive outreach beyond the annual
>meeting, the annual InfoShare project which opens the world of ASIS&T to
>LIS researchers globally, and many more very excellent activities. Every
>SIG should be this connected to its membership! SIG III's outreach to
>the Society's international members, particularly in developing
>countries is very impressive. Their use of emerging technologies to
>extend ASIST to members virtually and to tease out potential topics for
>its annual Global Information Village Plaza Symposiums not only
>demonstrates creativity but a strong commitment to international
>scholarship and perspectives.
>
>SIG Digital Libraries demonstrated an exciting scope of innovative
>initiatives over the past year befitting such a tech-saavy SIG such as
>theirs:  they used a wiki for both SIG and 2007 program planning; their
>communication with the membership is also superior, conducted a
>usability study on their website in collaboration with students at SUNY
>Buffalo, have been leaders in exploring open access models of
>scholarship within our field, have consistently been very strong
>contributors to the Annual Meeting technical program, and demonstrated
>excellent planning for activities between annual meetings.
>
>Congratulations to both of your SIGs, who have both demonstrated a year
>of activities very deserving of the 2007 SIG of the Year Award.  Both of
>you should be seen as models to emulate for all ASIS&T SIGs.
>
>    Very best regards,
