[Sigvis-l] ASIST SIG III InfoShare Membership Award Winners

[Caryn Anderson]

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of Vika Kravchyna, co-coordinator of the InfoShare program,
and all our fellow officers of the Special Interest Group for
International Information Issues (SIG-III) of the American Society
for Information Science and Technology (ASIST), I am pleased to
announce the winners of the InfoShare awards for 2007.

Information professionals from developing countries, where the cost of
ASIST membership would be a burden, are eligible to receive one year
of membership. SIG-III officers vote on a roster of candidates
nominated by ASIST colleagues or others. These memberships are funded
by monies raised at the International Reception during the ASIST
Annual Meeting. 2006 was a very successful year for the reception in
Austin, Texas and we are thrilled to be able to offer memberships to
ten outstanding professional candidates and two student candidates:
