We are soliciting nominations of candidates for the InfoShare Membership Award. The award will be given to LIS professionals. Please include a one-page curriculum vitae and a one-page description of why this person is deserving of membership, including their willingness to promote ASIS&T within their networks and build relationships between ASIS&T and the national/regional organizations. Awardees will be decided by a vote of the SIG-III officers. 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: I. Sharing ASIS&T publications that they receive (the Bulletin of ASIS&T and JASIS&T) with other colleagues II. Promoting the SIG-III paper contest among their colleagues III. Serving as a contact/coordinator for ASIS&T members traveling to their area who may be able to speak about ASIS&T and information science IV. Having the ability to strengthen the relationships between ASIS&T and the national/regional organizations, and V. Sponsoring lectures on information science topics in their area on behalf of ASIS&T Nominators can mentor the award recipients for the above activities. We look forward to welcoming new members to ASIS&T from across the globe, especially from countries that have never been ASIS&T members or have limited ASIS&T membership. Women, minority, and candidates from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. Please feel free to circulate the Call in your professional networks (e.g., your alma mater listservs, professional contacts at IFLA, OCLC, international organizations, practitioner groups, academic institutions, etc.).
