Date & Time: Saturday, November 22, 2003; 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Fees: $135 - Successful completion earns 1.2 CEUs for this class.

Does your organization need financial support? Do you need funds for a
special program, project or an organization goal? This workshop provides a
practical introduction to raising money from public and private sources to
support libraries, using a variety of proven techniques and processes.
During the morning session, participants will explore proven techniques for
identifying and contacting potential funders, developing and submitting
proposals, and following up on your requests. Information is provided
step-by-step and is designed for those with little or no experience in
grantwriting. In addition, you will receive a 200 page manual to guide them
through the grant writing process.
In the afternoon, participants will discover how to manage, plan, and budget
for fundraising campaigns. You will discuss vehicles for development,
including annual fund programs, direct mail, telephone solicitation, special
events, major gifts, and planned giving; personnel issues in fundraising
related to volunteers, boards and staff development; and markets for funds
such as individuals, corporations, foundations, and government agencies.
Presenter Richard Morgan, Ph.D., has been executive director of national and
international nonprofit organizations and agencies. He has held high level
positions in development and fundraising, and teaches at several
universities in Ohio.

The deadline for submission of proposals to SIG/HFIS is ***January 10, =

Conflicts," and a full call for papers will be available shortly at =

The conference committee accepts submissions of four major types: =
contributed papers; posters; proposals for special or technical panel =
sessions; and preconference sessions, which may be submitted through a =
sponsoring SIG.
Proposals for SIG/HFIS-sponsored special or technical panel sessions are =
invited in any area of historical or theoretical interest, including (but =
in no sense limited to) the following:
- application of fuzzy sets theory in information science
- effect of immigration on the field
- history of visualization of information (possibly co-sponsor with =
SIG/VIS)
- tribute to Patrick Wilson (possibly co-sponsor with SIG/CR)
- the unit of analysis: document, work, record?
- pioneering women in information science, part II
- methodological blindness-the object of study, methodological =
commitments, tangible outcomes=85
- influence of outside theorists on information science, e.g., =
Foucault, Durkheim, etc. (possibly co-sponsor
with SIG/USE and SIG/CR)
- the concept of information community (see attached discussion)
Proposals should be submitted by email to smiksa@unt.edu no later than =
January 10, 2003, and should include the following:

Notification of acceptance of technical panel sessions will be made by the =
ASIS&T conference committee by April 2, 2004. Camera-ready copy of a =

Alternative panel formats--such as one structured as a debate--are =
welcomed.=20
SIG/HFIS encourages and supports work on the history and theoretical =
development of information science. It serves as a forum for the interactio=
n of all fields of study that have the potential for increasing the =
understanding of the history, theories, fundamental concepts, and models =
of information science, with the ultimate aim of improving information =
systems and services. The range of topics of interest to SIG/HFIS members =
is very broad: the group embraces philosophical, semiological, mathematica=
l, physical, biological, psychological and sociological disciplines, and =
its members take historiographical, social, cultural, critical, and =
scientific approaches (among others) to the study of people, events, =
documents, and ideas.
