[Siguse-l] Dr. Gary Marchionini Named 2014 ASIS&T SIG USE Outstanding Contribution Award Winner

[Rong Tang]

Dear all,



It is my great pleasure to announce that Professor Gary Marchionini has
been chosen as the 2014 ASIS&T SIG USE Award Winner for Outstanding
Contribution to Information Behavior Research. Dr. Marchionini's work on
Information interaction and human-centered computing has made significant
contributions to the field of information behavior research, incorporating
the understanding of information seeking process, user search behavior, and
usability principles to the development of interactive information
retrieval system interfaces. His 1995 book *Information Seeking in
Electronic Environments* has had a remarkable influence on information
behavior research, especially with the presentation of information seeking
process and subprocesses models. Over the years, Dr. Marchionini’s numerous
research and scholarly publications related to interfaces that support
information seeking and information retrieval, usability of personal health
records, multimedia browsing strategies, and digital libraries have played
an important role in advancing information behavior research.  Dr.
Marchionini's international impact on the information behavior, seeking and
use field is also seen in his work as the editor for the Morgan-Claypool
Synthesis Series of lectures/monographs on Information Concepts, Retrieval,
and Services.


Dr. Marchionini served as President (2009-10) of the American Society for
Information Science and Technology. He is the Dean and Cary C. Boshamer
Professor, School of Information and Library Science, University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.


We are pleased to honor Dr. Marchionini with the 2014 ASIS&T SIG USE
Outstanding Contribution to Information Behavior Research Award. As a
recipient of this Award, Dr. Marchionini will also be inducted into the
ASIS&T SIG USE Academy of Fellows.



Dr. Marchionini will be accepting the Award at the beginning of ASIS&T SIG
USE Business Meeting, which will be held on Tuesday, 11/4/2014 3:05-4:05pm.




Best Regards,


Rong Tang, Current Chair ASIS&T SIG USE
