The Southern Ohio Chapter of the Association for Information Science
presents:
SOASIS In Tbilisi
A Librarian's Experience Co-Directing the National Information Learning Center
Wednesday, September 17, 1997
University of Cincinnati Engineering Research Center Room 405
PRESENTER:
Karen Marsh, Associate Librarian, University of Cincinnati Medical Center's
Academic Information Technology and Libraries. In addition to her work in
Tbilisi this summer, she has worked with the Moscow State University Faculty of
Basic Medicine over the past few years.
PROGRAM:
Karen was selected to co-direct the National Information Learning Center in
Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia, from April-August 1997. The NILC is a center that
provides medical resources, including Internet and other electronic resources,
to members of the health community on a cost-recovery basis. Hospitality and
business are inextricably intertwined, with a business relationship rarely
remaining simply business. The Georgian culture, with the great pride of
surviving years of oppression, gives business a thrilling energy and pace.
Karen will describe her experience with the culture, the business, and, the
tradition of the Georgian Table.

Call for Nominations
It is that time of year where we must begin to choose the new leaders of
the Indiana Chapter of the Association for Information Science
(IASIS). ASIS's administrative year runs from November 1 - October 31.
The IASIS Nominating Committee is soliciting nominations for the position
of IASIS Program Chair/Chair-Elect. The Program Chair/Chair-elect, who automatically
becomes chair in the following year, works closely with the current chair in planning
and executing the Chapter's programs.
If you are interested in becoming more active in ASIS at a National level,
this is a wonderful way to get started. If you think that Indiana ASIS can do more,
be more than it has been, this is your chance to make it happen. If you know of a
someone who would make a good leader for Indiana ASIS (and is a member of ASIS), let
us know! It is fine to nominate yourself, it is fine to nominate someone else. Anyone
and everyone who is nominated will be contacted to confirm that they are willing to
be on the slate of candidates.
Please contact me with your nominations or your questions about the
position, by Wednesday, Sept. 3, 1997.
