Subject: Re: ASIST 80th Anniversary initiative SIG help requested!

Thanks to those of you who have responded to my request with bibliographic citations! You have one last chance - please send your SIG's nominations for key or high impact papers by August 10th. The original request is below:

I'm writing to you, a SIG officer, in my capacity as Chair of the ASIST 80th Anniversary Advisory Group. This group is advising Wiley (the JASIST publisher) on their project to identify key and high impact papers in JASIST.  For their part Wiley conducted a bibliometric study of highly cited papers, ranked by decade. As part of this initiative the 80thAG is soliciting nominations of JASIST papers that have been central to your own work, or to that of your SIG. Wiley realizes that articles can be quite useful without attracting bibliographic citations, so we are asking your opinions!

In early September, all ASIST members will have a chance to vote on the most significant JASIST paper for each decade. The papers span the years 1956-2017.

The outcome of this initiative will be a Wiley-hosted website that features access to select papers. ASIST members will be able to add comments and images. This website will launch during the upcoming annual meeting in Washington, DC.

Please send your paper nominations (in the form of a citation) by August 15th to klabarre at illinois.edu<mailto:klabarre at illinois.edu>
