[Sigmet-officers] SIG of the year award

[Stasa Milojevic]

Dear all,

I have great news regarding our SIG! I've just received an email from 
Dick Hill regarding the ASIST awards luncheon where I found out that SIG 
MET is jointly awarded (with SIG ED) this year's SIG of the year award. 
Here's the description:

  SIG/MET is recognized for its transformation into an active and 
productive traditional SIG from a virtual SIG only two years ago. In the 
past year it has been successful in growing its membership, expanding 
its outreach through a wide variety of electronic and social media; 
offered a successful and well-attended webinar on Information 
Visualization from the perspective of researchers interested in 
incorporating visualizations into a research project within the fields 
of Bibliometrics, Citation Analysis, Scientometrics, Informetrics, and 
Webometrics; was the a co-sponsorofDoctoral Forum 2012 "Quantitative 
Research in Information Science" held at the University of Wolverhampton 
UK; held a successful student paper contest for original research, with 
the prize winners presenting at a workshop at the ASIS&T 2012 Annual 
Meeting; had two panels accepted for inclusion at the ASIS&T 2012 annual 
meeting; sponsored a panel at the iConference; and, in honor of the 75th 
anniversary of ASIS&T's founding, produced a special section on metrics 
for the August/September 2012 issue of the /Bulletin of the American 
Society for Information Science and Technology./


Thank you all for making this happen! We should celebrate in Baltimore.

Best,
Stasa
