[Sigiii-l] SIG III Newsletter and International Reception

[Yin Zhang]

Dear Colleagues,

The pre-conference issue of the SIG III Newsletter (Volume 5, Number 3) is 
now available on the SIG III website
(http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGIII/).

This issue contains
- SIG III events and activities at the Annual Meeting;
- International Reception information;
- International Paper Contest Results;
- SIG III Fundraising Update;
- 2005-2006 SIG III Officers List;
- Call for Sessions and Panels at the 2006 Annual Meeting;
- International Conferences Calendar update;
- Published/Accepted International Paper Contest papers in IILR;
- Member News and more!

This is also a reminder to please come to the International Reception to be 
held on Monday, October 31, from 8-10pm. The International Reception is a 
fun social event for all ASIST members. Elsevier has generously contributed 
$1,000 to sponsor the event. Also this year, our International Liaisons, 
Michel Menou and Julian Warner, will host the reception.

At the reception, there will be the annual Silent Auction and Raffle Ticket 
Sale. All proceeds will go to the SIG III InfoShare Fund. The InfoShare 
program supports ASIST memberships for information professionals in 
developing countries.

We will also have, as part of the Raffle, a gift basket with new goodies in 
it for the winner. If you have something small and new that you could 
contribute for the basket, please bring it also. Instructions on where to 
leave these items will be on the conference bulletin board, or look for a 
box near the registration desk.

Thank you for your support! Come and have a fun night at the International 
Reception! International attire would be highly encouraged!
