[Sigiii-l] ASIST SIG-III InfoShare Membership Award – Final Call

[Vika Kravchyna]

Dear Colleagues, 

The ASIST International Information Issues Special Interest Group (SIG 
III) is pleased to announce that for 2007 we will be able to sponsor 
another group of deserving information professionals from developing 
countries for complimentary ASIST memberships (the financial burden 
of which would otherwise be prohibitive). 

We are soliciting nominations of candidates for the InfoShare 
Membership Award.  Please send recommendations of deserving 
candidates 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 ASIST 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 ASIST in their home country during the course of the 
year. Awardees will be asked to submit a report on their activities 
by next year’s Annual Meeting, which may include, but are not limited 
to: 
- sharing ASIST publications that you receive (the Bulletin of ASIST 
and JASIST) with other colleagues 
- promoting the SIG-III paper contest among your colleagues 
- serving as a contact/coordinator for ASIST members traveling to your 
area who may be able to speak about ASIST and information science 
- sponsoring lectures on information science topics in your area on 
behalf of ASIST 
We look forward to welcoming new members to ASIST from across the 
globe, with your help.  Please start thinking about candidates among 
your networks and send your nominations to Vika Kravchyna (vika.kravchyna at arius3d.com)

Deadline - December 15, 2006

Best wishes,

Vika Kravchyna
