[Siged-l] Service Opportunity: ASIST 2002 SIG/ED Doctoral Seminar on Research and Career Development

[Jody Condit Fagan]

Dear SIG/ED Members,

Please consider volunteering to serve as a mentor for the ASIST 2002 SIG/ED 
Doctoral Seminar on Research and Career Development!   Mentors work with 
junior researchers and cultivate new leaders for ASIST and the field of 
information and library science. We particularly need volunteers in the 
area of technical IR research and also in a management-related area.  To 
participate, you simply need to be an established researcher in the field 
in which the assigned student is working.  (You must also not be a current 
member of the student's dissertation committee.)

Brief description of the seminar: Doctoral students conducting their 
dissertation research will be invited to attend a half-day workshop during 
the Annual Meeting.  An established researcher will be assigned as a mentor 
for each student.  At the workshop, the students will have the opportunity 
for in-depth discussion of their current research and future career and 
research plans with their mentors and the other participants.  This program 
is analogous to the doctoral consortia offered by other professional 
associations such as ACM SIGCHI and the Association for Information Systems.

If you are interested in this excellent service opportunity, or have 
questions, please email me (jfagan at lib.siu.edu ) and/or Barbara Wildemuth 
(wildem at ils.unc.edu).

thanks,

Jody Fagan
Chair, SIG/ED
