First of all, let us briefly introduce ourselves - Daniel Gelaw Alemneh (Daniel.Alemneh at unt.edu) from University of North Texas and Karen Miller ( millerk8 at email.sc.edu) from University of South Carolina. We are the Student Chapter Representatives to the ASIST board. What this means is that we: * Oversee the operations of various ASIST Student Chapters around the world; * Help and guide the chapters with membership management and other resources they may need; and * Represent student chapters interests and concerns to the ASIST board. Well, student chapters are usually run and managed locally and you wouldn't see or need us in your regular activities. There are a few things, however, that you may want to keep in mind as you run these activities and reach out to us as needed: - As you all already know, we have an email list that you can join by going to http://mail.asis.org/mailman/listinfo/students-l and signing up. Once joined, you can send a message by emailing to students-l at asis.org. Typical messages on this email list are about conference announcements, job postings, and other opportunities for students. - Make sure your information (advisor name, email, website, etc.) is accurate on the ASIST Student Chapter page at http://www.asis.org/Chapters/chapters-student.html. o We understand that the new ASIST site is still in the transition process, but if you find any inaccuracies, please email us immediately. o If you hold an election, please inform us about the results. - Every year, July 1st is a standing deadline for the chapters to send their annual reports. This report is typically compiled by the advisor as well as the officers of the student chapter. The report also serves as the self-nomination for the Student Chapter of the Year award (announced at that year's ASIST annual meeting). o Information about this award can be found here: http://asis.org/awards/studentchapteroftheyear.html - In addition, we introduced a new competition that encourages our student chapters to recruit more members. The award is based on student chapter membership growth over the last year. We would like to thank the ASIS&T Board for approving our experimental award and it will continue as an annual competition. Here are the details: o Every ASIST student chapter that started before June 2014 is qualified. o If you submit the Student Chapter Annual Activities Report by July 1st (with or without nomination for Student Chapter-of-the-Year award), then no need for any other submission. We will use your annual chapter report (due July 1st) to extract the membership information. o The criteria will be based on % increase (only positive growth) on membership, and not the absolute values. This way each chapter can have a fair chance irrespective of their size or geo-location. o The % will be calculated considering the chapter's membership count at the beginning of the year (as of July 1, 2014) and at the end of the year (as of June 30, 2015). o In addition to the recognition certificates, the award entitles them to (one to three) students registrations to the ASIST Annual Meeting (AM) to be held in St. Louis, Missouri http://www.asis.org/asist2015/am15cfp.html : ? First prize: three AM registrations ? Second prize: two AM registrations ? Third prize: one AM registration - If you do not submit the annual report as a part of self-nomination on July 1st, you need to submit your annual report by October 30th. - Please note that September 30th is the deadline for requesting funds from ASIST for student chapter. More information on this will come in due course. - At the ASIST annual meeting, the student chapter advisors are invited to meet with us and others from ASIST. o More details will follow as we get close to this year's ASIST conference. But please note that advisers are highly encouraged to attend the Chapter Assembly meeting at the Annual Meeting.

Specifically, Prof. Nick Belkin and Prof. Chirag Shah are looking for new PhD students to work with them on their newly funded NSF project on "Characterizing and Evaluating Whole Session Interactive Information Retrieval? (http://infoseeking.org/iir/ ). The funding includes full tuition waiver, competitive stipend, and travel support. The deadline for application with a consideration for financial assistant is January 15th (apply earlier if possible). Finally, know that we have a fairly centralized application process, which means we do not get to make any decisions about whether or not to accept a given student -- it is a much more holistic evaluation of each applicant's overall promise done by the graduate school and the PhD faculty at SC&I. That said, if you are applying with a particular interest in information retrieval/seeking or social media, please 1) mention our names in your statement of interest, and 2) send us a brief email with a link to your CV so we can keep an eye out for your application and put a good word in for you.

Prospective doctoral students developing a PhD application for 2015/16 are also invited to apply. The aim of the forum is to provide a supporting environment where students can discuss their research and receive mentoring and advice from an international panel of senior researchers. This is a special shared event co-hosted by the 12th Annual Conference of the Document Academy, 20-22 July, 2015 and the Research Applications in Information and Library Studies Conference (RAILS), following DOCAM from 22-24 July, 2015. Both conferences are sponsored by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), and the School of Information Studies, Charles Sturt University (CSU). The doctoral forum is open to students enrolled in a doctoral program in any of RAILS and DOCAM's cognate disciplines (e.g. Information Science, Information Systems, Librarianship, Museum Studies, Rhetoric, Document and Media Studies, Information and Computer Science). The forum is included, at no additional cost, for students registered to attend DOCAM 2015 or RAILS 2015. The doctoral forum will be led by Professor Pamela McKenzie (University of Western Ontario, Canada) who will be joined by senior academics in the field, including Dr Michael Olsson (UTS, Australia) and Professor Lisa Given (CSU, Australia). To be considered for this event students must submit an abstract outlining their Doctoral research, including the stage of their research that they are currently undertaking and the particular challenges they are facing that they would like to discuss and seek advice about . In addition students attending DOCAM will be given the opportunity to present a poster that introduces their PhD work during DOCAM 2015. Space in the Forum will be limited and, given the interactive nature of the forum discussion, students should be prepared to present on and talk about their research. The forum schedule will be finalised in conjunction with DOCAM's co-provider RAILS once the number of attendees has been determined. Notifications of decisions will be made by February 15, 2015. If there are any queries regarding submissions, please email Dr Michael Olsson (Michael.Olsson at uts.edu.au) DOCAM/RAILS submission process for Doctoral Forum Abstracts of 500 words must be submitted through Easychair by midnight (23:59:00 Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on Friday, 30 January 2015. https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=docam2015 Students should provide a brief overview of the nature of their project (research problem, methodology/method, theoretical framework, etc.), a description of their intended poster and explain why they would benefit from participating in the event.
