ASIS&T SIG-III InfoShare Award - Call for Nominations

[Forwarded for Caryn Anderson, caryn.andersonsimmons.edu.  Dick Hill]

** Please forgive duplicate postings **

Dear Colleagues,

The ASIS&T International Information Issues Special
Interest Group (SIG III) is pleased to announce that for
2007 we will be able to sponsor another group of deserving
information professionals from developing countries for
complimentary ASIS&T memberships (the financial burden
of which would otherwise be prohibitive).

We are soliciting nominations of candidates for the
InfoShare Membership Award.  Please send recommendations of
deserving candidates to Caryn Anderson (caryn.andersonsimmons.edu). Please include a Curriculum Vitae (or
equivalent) and a brief description of why this person is
deserving of membership, including their willingness to
promote ASIS&T within their networks. Awardees will be
decided by a vote of the SIG III officers at the end of
2006.

Each membership award will be for one year, with the
possibility of renewal for a second year if the new member
proves to be a strong advocate for ASIS&T in their home
country during the course of the year. Awardees will be
asked to submit a report on their activities by next year's
Annual Meeting, which may include, but are not limited
to:

- sharing ASIS&T publications that you receive (the
Bulletin of ASIS&T and JASIS&T) with other
colleagues
- promoting the SIG-III paper contest among your colleagues
- serving as a contact/coordinator for ASIS&T members
traveling to your area who may be able to speak about
ASIS&T and information science
- sponsoring lectures on information science topics in your
area on behalf of ASIS&T

We look forward to welcoming new members to ASIS&T from
across the globe, with your help.  Please start thinking
about candidates among your networks and send your
nominations to Caryn Anderson (caryn.andersonsimmons.edu).

Thank you and best wishes for the upcoming months and we
hope to see you in Austin in November!
