Subject: [Asis-l] ASIS&T SIG-III InfoShare STUDENT Membership Award - Call for Nominations
Date: Thursday, November 25, 2010, 1:05 AM
*** Please excuse cross posting ***
Dear Colleagues,
The ASIS&T International Information Issues Special
Interest Group (SIG-III) is pleased to announce that for 2011 we will be able to
sponsor a group of deserving information science PhD and Masters students who
STUDY and RESIDE in developing countries for complimentary ASIS&T
memberships.
We are soliciting nominations of student candidates for
the InfoShare Student Membership Award. 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 2010. All Curriculum Vitae will be kept private, viewable only by
SIG-III officers.
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 they receive (the
Bulletin of ASIS&T and JASIS&T) with other colleagues
- promoting the
SIG-III paper contest among their colleagues
- serving as a
contact/coordinator for ASIS&T members traveling to their area who may be
able to speak about ASIS&T and information science
-having the ability to
strengthen the relationships between ASIS&T and the national/regional
organizations
- sponsoring lectures on information science topics in their
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 student
candidates among your networks and send recommendations of deserving students to
Abebe Rorissa (arorissa@albany.edu) or
Devendra Potnis (dpotnis@utk.edu).
Deadline for all nominations is December 15,
2009.
Best wishes,
Abebe Rorissa
Devendra Potnis
