Hello colleagues,
Before you leave town, remember to pack your contributions
for the SIG-III Silent Auction this year. Each year at the
ASIST Annual Meeting the International Information Issues
SIG holds an International Reception and Silent Auction.
Donations from ASIST members are bid on by other members to
raise money to sponsor memberships for colleagues in
countries for whom the membership fee presents a financial
hardship.
Donations in the past have included items from the personal
households/libraries of members (jewelry, books, etc.),
offerings of services (weekend at vacation home, etc.), and
items created by members themselves (paintings, knitted
items, wine from member vineyards, etc.).
So get creative or clear out your attic. No item is too
small or too trivial. A large portion of the InfoShare funds
are raised from items auctioned for less than $5.00! When it
doubt, bring it along!
If you plan to bring your items to Annual Meeting, please
give them to Caryn Anderson or Kate Johnson or any SIG-III
officer. If you would like to mail it, please coordinate
with Caryn directly (vika.kravchyna arius3d.com).
** Special Uganda Books Project **
If you own books specifically related to Library and
Information Sciences, please consider donating them to the
SIG-III campaign (new this year) to provide materials to LIS
programs and colleagues in Uganda. Please contact Vika for
more information about the LIS books for Uganda project
(vika.kravchynaarius3d.com).
Thanks for thinking of the InfoShare Award and we'll see you
soon!
Best wishes,
Vika Kravchyna
