From bloveday at albany.edu Sun Nov 5 19:05:37 2017 From: bloveday at albany.edu (Loveday-Chesley, Brandi L) Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2017 00:05:37 +0000 Subject: [Sig-l] URGENT: ALL SIG Officer Lists and Reports Message-ID: Greetings to all SIG Officers, My name is Brandi Loveday-Chesley and I am your SIG Cabinet Director for 2017-2018. Joining me as SIG Cabinet Deputy Director is Sarah Buchanan. You will be hearing from us periodically requesting reports of various kinds and checking into to see how your year is progressing. We will also try to set up a Skype or Zoom-style meeting between the SIGs' Cabinet Representatives (usually the SIG Chair, unless otherwise appointed by the SIG) and ourselves after the Holiday season. If you have not already done so, please submit your list of officers for 2017-2018 to BLOVEDAY at ALBANY.EDU and BUCHANANS at MISSOURI.EDU in an excel spreadsheet format. If you respond to this email with an attachment it, it will not be received. Hence the personal emails above. Please use the name of your SIG, the year range, and submission type in the subject line for reports and list submissions: Example: SIG IEP 2017-2018 Officer List The SIG Officers Manual can be found here for now: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1zn72n6gajf5qy1/2017%20SIG%20Officers%20Manual.docx?dl=0 This manual has information on duties of officers, reporting requirements of SIGs, and general financial information for SIGs. It does need updating due to the change of the fiscal year and some award dates, but is generally sound. If you have issues accessing this location, email me directly and I will forward an attachment. I would like to urge you all to work on collaborating with other SIGs on programs for next year's AM in Vancouver as well as webinars, JASIST submissions, and Inside ASIST submissions. The theme for AM 2018, if you saw the flyer in your bags, involves sustainability and diversity. This organization's sustainability and diversity depends on all of us working together and with outside parties to remain successful. Find practitioners outside of your comfort zone and collaborate with them as well as other information science and technology researchers and academics. We must continue the course of drawing in new members from ALL aspects of information science and technology to influence the various fields under our umbrella. Seek out and explore new partnerships to diversify your thought processes and multiply your success! If you have any questions after reviewing the manual, please let us know. We will do our best to get answers to all your questions and ensure a successful year ahead for all! Thank you for your time and for being leaders in ASIS&T.

All SIGs should submit their officer lists, complete with email addresses, in an excel spreadsheet to Sarah and myself as soon as possible. Our email addresses are below as responses to the SIG-L may remove attachments. buchanans at missouri.edu bloveday at albany.edu This will allow us to update the SIG-L so your new officers don't miss important information from ASIS&T. Thank you again and my apologies for not being more clear. Regards, Brandi Loveday-Chesley, MIS ASIS&T SIG Cabinet Director -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please take a few minutes to review your SIG's info on asist.org and let us know what needs updating. There is a terrible amount of confusion for some due to the fact the legacy site is still up (it will, hopefully, be going away in the next six months). Some members and leaders alike have noticed the asis.org site is not updated. It will not be updated as we are trying to move everyone to the new domain. Please ensure you are sharing the asist.org address when pointing people to your SIG and the organization. Also, as my job is to ensure we (the SIGs) are all reaching current members as well as drawing in new members, I would like you all to share with the us your plans for the coming year to draw in new members, this includes academics as well as practitioners . My definition of a practitioner is someone not in academia conducting research. (Feel free to share your definition with us so we can get new perspectives!) ASIS&T used to be a place for practitioners to come together and share information, best practices, and review research with academics and we have, somewhere along our way, lost a majority of that population. Please give some thought as to how we can include this population once again in not only our membership, but also make them feel more welcome and appreciated at the Annual Meeting. If you need anything from the us, please let us know how we can best support your efforts! Thank you and have a great week!
