InfoShare Membership Award 2021
The ASIS&T's Special Interest Group on International Information Issues (SIG-III) is sponsoring another group of deserving Information Professionals from developing countries for complimentary ASIS&T memberships (the financial burden of which would otherwise be prohibitive) for the year 2021. As such, they are seeking nominations of candidates for the InfoShare Membership Award 2021.
SIG-III looks forward to welcoming new members to ASIS&T from across the globe, especially from countries that have never been ASIS&T members or have limited ASIS&T membership. Women, minorities, and candidates from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
Visit the SIG-III website to find out how to apply or nominate a deserving information professional.
The deadline for submitting nominations is June 30th, 2021 & the announcement of successful candidates is July 10th, 2021.

SIG-USE
SIG-USE will host our June "social hour" on June 23rd at 11 AM CDT. This month's social hour will focus on the terms we use to describe what we do. Can information behave? Can information practice? What about experience? Where does seeking end and acquisition begin? Isn't it all use? I invite everyone to log in with a mug of your favorite tea or coffee and engage in a fun, casual, and informative conversation.
Below is the Zoom information
Topic: SIG-USE Social Hour: The Terms We Use and Why
