[Sigiii-l] InfoShare Call for nominations

[Vika Kravchyna]

Apologies for cross posting

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

The ASIS&T International Information Issues Special Interest Group (SIG
III) is pleased to announce that for 2008 we will be able to sponsor
another group of deserving information professionals from developing
countries for complimentary ASIS&T 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]airus3d.com) or Caryn Anderson
(caryn.anderson[at]simmons.edu). Please include a Curriculum Vitae and a
brief description of why this person is deserving of membership,
including their willingness to promote ASIS&T within their networks and
build relationships between ASIST&T and the national/regional
organizations. Awardees will be decided by a vote of the SIG III
officers at the end of 2007.

 

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's 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

-having the ability to strengthen the relationships between ASIST&T and
the national/regional organizations

- sponsoring lectures on information science topics in your area on
behalf of ASIS&T

 

We look forward to welcoming new members to ASIS&T from across the
globe, especially from countries that have never been ASIST members or
have limited ASIST membership, with your help.  Please start thinking
about candidates among your networks and send your nominations.

 

Thank you and best wishes for the upcoming months and we hope to see you
in Milwaukee in October!
