ASIST SIGs and Chapters: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:21, 27 January 2025

Histories of ASIST Chapters and SIGs were originally compiled by Sarah Buchanan and Toni Carbo, members of the ASIST 75th Anniversary Task Force in 2012. Available here.

This compilation reflected research conducted by Task Force Member Kathryn La Barre during her historical investigation with the ASIST Archives at the University of Michigan. Additionally, the authors and Task Force members recruited authors to present their work at the 2012 Pre-Conference. A special issue of the ASIS Bulletin - Volume 14, Issue 5 (June/July 1988) - was published to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of ASIS in 1987. The issue includes articles on Chapters, SIGs, and ASIS history.

-One of the projects of the ASIST 75th Anniversary Task Force addresses the histories of ASIST Chapters (regional and Student) and ASIST SIGs (Special Interest Groups). In support of our anniversary year celebrations, Task Force Members sought to compile information known about ASIST's component groups both present and past. These include Chapters, Student Chapters, and SIGs. The authors are pleased to present this list of current ASIST Chapter and SIG histories, which is posted at the webpage: <nowiki>http://www.asist.org/asist2012/historyofASIST.html</nowiki> ; as of October 2012. The information presented here also reflects research conducted by Task Force Member Kathryn La Barre during her historical investigation with the ASIST Archives at the University of Michigan. Additionally, the authors and Task Force members recruited authors to present new work at the 2012 Pre-Conference, and further historical research related to ASIST's history will be continued through the activities of SIG HFIS.
