Subject: [Asist-announce] Pres. Message, JASIST and Bulletin TOCs
[ADMIN: This list is updated each time a message is sent. If you wish to be
set to no mail, or if you are receiving duplicates, notify
[3]rhill at asis.org.]
Since the last President’s Page, you have submitted your votes and new board
members have been elected. Please join me in welcoming president-elect Lisa
Given, Charles Sturt University, Australia; new treasurer June Abbas,
University of Oklahoma; and new directors-at-large Dania Bilal, University
of Tennessee, and Heather O’Brien, University of British Columbia, Canada.
The Board looks forward to their leadership and ideas. Our thanks go to all
those who ran for the various positions, as well as to those who have been
contributing steadily and generously to ASIS&T for all these years, with a
special note to Vicki Gregory who retires as our trusted treasurer after a
long tenure. ASIS&T depends on the work of the many volunteer members who
dedicate their time and energy to sit on, or chair, committees, jury the
various awards, review conference submissions, design and implement new
initiatives and generally keep the ASIS&T boat going. We are grateful for
all the work you do.
As I mentioned in my May column, the Board has been actively engaged on
various fronts including the hiring of a communications officer as well as
succession planning and the search for a new executive director to replace
Dick Hill. Our call for applicants for the communications officer position
has elicited some excellent applicants, and we are in the process of
interviewing qualified candidates who can develop and sustain a robust and
comprehensive communication strategy for ASIS&T. The search for Dick Hill’s
successor will be a major item on the agenda of our upcoming Board retreat
in July.
As part of this process, I thought it would be helpful for ASIS&T members to
be (re-)introduced to the good folks working at ASIS&T headquarters in
Silver Spring, Maryland, and running the organization behind the scene. In
addition to executive director Dick Hill, the two pillars of ASIS&T
headquarters are Vanessa Foss and Jan Hatzakos. Vanessa, director,
membership services and meetings, has been with ASIS&T since 1988, and Jan,
director of finance and administration and webmaster, since 1990. Along with
Dick Hill, they are the institutional memory and the ones that make things
happen. They are assisted by Carline Haynes, accounting, and Stephan Addo,
membership. Completing the team is Sandra Holder who serves as the first
point of contact for members, visitors and vendors and provides office
support. Together, they are the ASIS&T team. Make sure to introduce yourself
to them at the next Annual Meeting, regional meeting or other event. We are
grateful to them for their hard work, as ASIS&T continues on the path of
renewal and change to meet the evolving needs of our members.
In related news, ASIS&T continues its engagement with our members’ world as
well as the world around us. We have been receiving short videos from
doctoral students from around the globe who speak passionately about their
research. Look for these videos on our website, where they will be featured
soon. A new Meet the Authors series has been inaugurated this month. Its
purpose is to stretch the boundaries of the information field and get us to
engage with one another as well as with folks in related fields. The first
speaker to address the ASIS&T community was psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein,
who spoke on July 21, about his idea of the search engine manipulation
effect (SEME). The event was bound to send a shockwave of reactions within
the information science community and did not fail to do so. Stay tuned for
the next Meet the Author installment.
ASIS&T publications are still defining the trends in our field. A new
version of the Google Scholar metrics has just been released, and despite
the usual reluctance toward relying solely on the H index, it was heartening
to see that two of ASIS&T publications are in the top 20, with JASIST
topping the list of LIS Journal Rankings and the ASIS&T Proceedings listed
at number 20. (Source:

Despite the world events plaguing our newsfeeds, this fall will be a busy
time for intellectual engagement in Europe. If you are planning on coming to

Prague around that time as well (October 10-13). The Association for

Regarding the Annual Meeting, the program should be up soon on our website.
In addition to the paper sessions and panels, do not miss the workshop
