Due date is July 1, 2008. It would be prudent, however, to plan to have it in, or at least composed, before the end of your Spring term (before everyone scatters for the Summer). The report also serves as the chapter's nomination for Student Chapter of the Year, but please don't let that stop you from filing a report. Filing a short Word document into the submission area just to let me know what you have been doing for the past year is perfectly fine and very much encouraged. All the information you need for completing the report is at http://www.asis.org/awards/studentchapteroftheyear.html. A few suggestions about formatting?try for a more formal report with plenty of narrative to give the chapter activities some context. You may obtain membership lists for your chapter from ASIST headquarters - contact Vanessa Foss, Membership Services Manager, vfoss at asis.org Please submit your report electronically, at http://www.softconf.com/asist/StudChapYear/submit.html Students: If you know other student members and they didn't get this message, then let me know - we need to be sure that we can reach our student members. You do not actually have to be a student member of ASIST to join this list, though it is preferred. Anyone can join by going to http://mail.asis.org/mailman/listinfo/students-l Student Advisors: If you are receiving this notice, but are not the current advisor at your school please do pass this on to that person, and let me know their name and all necessary contact information. If your school?s student chapter doesn't have an advisor, please also let me know. Please also take the time to review the information at http://www.asis.org/Chapters/chapters-student.html for accuracy. We will have an Advisors' meeting at the annual conference in Columbus in October. (Students are more than welcome to attend.) There will also be a students-only gathering?announcements will be sent to the student-listserv shortly before the meeting. Let me know if you have any questions. I?ll be more than happy to help. Remember, due date for reports is July 1, 2008. Best, Shawne D. Miksa smiksa at unt.edu ASIST Student Chapter Representative -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The ALA International Relations Committee, spearheaded by Chair Blanche Woolls, has created the ALA Library Student Twining Project to connect students studying at library schools in the United States and Canada, (which ALA accredits), with library students in programs in other parts of the world. The objective is to provide library students the opportunity to connect with each other, to share their experiences with students studying elsewhere. Students interested should go to http://www.iro.ala.org/irowiki/index.php?title=Library_Student_Twinning_Project Please send your email address to Prof. Blanche Wools (bwoolls"at"slis.sjsu.edu) in order to receive email announcements.
