Dear Colleagues, 

The ASIS&T International Information Issues Special Interest Group (SIG III) is pleased to announce that for 2007 we will be able to sponsor a group of deserving information science PhD and Masters students who STUDY and RESIDE in developing countries for complimentary ASIS&T memberships.

We are soliciting nominations of student candidates for the InfoShare Student Membership Award.  Please send recommendations of deserving students to Vika Kravchyna (vika.kravchyna at arius3d.com). Please include a Curriculum Vitae (or equivalent) and a brief description of why this person is deserving of membership, including their willingness to promote ASIS&T within their networks. Awardees will be decided by a vote of the SIG III officers at the end of 2006.

Each membership award will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal for a second year if the new member proves to be a strong advocate for ASIS&T in their home country during the course of the year. Awardees will be asked to submit a report on their activities by next year Annual Meeting, which may include, but are not limited

to: 
-	sharing ASIS&T publications that you receive (the Bulletin of ASIS&T and 
JASIS&T) with other colleagues 
- promoting the SIG-III paper contest among your colleagues 
- serving as a contact/coordinator for ASIS&T members traveling to your area who may be able to speak about ASIS&T and information science
-	 sponsoring lectures on information science topics in your area on behalf of ASIS&T 
-	organize  student chapters and keep in touch with other student chapters around the world

We look forward to welcoming new members to ASIS&T from across the globe, with your help.  Please start thinking about student candidates among your networks and send your nominations to Vika Kravchyna (vika.kravchyna at arius3d.com).
Deadline for all nominations is December 15, 2006.

Best wishes,
Vika Kravchyna
