A Banner Year for SOASIS! 

The Southern Ohio Chapter stayed true to its motto, "soasis ...on the
move," thanks to the commitment
shown and the exemplary work done by SOASIS officers and members alike. 

This year's SOASIS' unmatched record speaks for itself: 

· Enhanced membership growth through a rigorous member recruitment and
member retention
program (Chapter membership increased by 116%) 
· Conducted a membership survey to identify topics of interest and best
times for holding Chapter
meetings 
· Presented a diverse array of technical programs and a workshop whose
topics were timely and
relevant to the membership 
· Embraced the spirit of intra- and inter-society cooperation by holding
joint meetings with the ASIS
Indiana Chapter, the Cincinnati Chapter of SLA, and the Miami Valley
Computing Societies 
· Pursued an active member participation program, aimed especially at
those Chapter members who
had not served SOASIS previously (8 SOASIS members served the Chapter for
the first time) 
· Relied on its Think Group, comprising former SOASIS chairs, to address
Chapter problems and
come up with solutions 
· Encouraged and mentored new and up-and-coming members so that they could
assume leadership
roles in the Chapter 
· Promoted ASIS to students of information and library science and to
members of other professional
organizations 
· Held Chapter elections, filling every Chapter office (a rarity among
ASIS chapters) 
· Improved Chapter communications through its enhanced Web site, SOASIS-L,
and timely
newsletters (SOASIS is the only ASIS chapter that publishes four issues of
its newsletter annually) 
· Chartered two new ASIS student chapters--at the University of Kentucky
and at OhioLEARN
(ASIS' first virtual student chapter) 
· Recognized key Chapter contributors, presenting them cash awards and
special mementos 
· Created and funded--through private donations--a new award for student
chapter members 
· Put an end to the Chapter's flowing red ink of the past few years,
generating a surplus 
· Provided its valuable MEMALERT new-member alerting service to ASIS
chapters and SIGs 
· Planned for the future by developing the most ambitious set of technical
programs for 2001 
· Ensured the Chapter's future through mentoring, promotion, and active
participation 

Those accomplishments can be shared by the entire SOASIS membership,
especially by the 16
SOASIS loyal volunteers whose enthusiasm, creativity, and drive helped
elevate SOASIS to new
heights. 

A banner year for SOASIS. Yes, indeed! 

But what was past, it's now prologue to the future. SOASIS is extremely
fortunate to have a blend of
up-and-coming and seasoned officers who are dedicated to the pursuit of
excellence. 

For SOASIS, the best is yet to come!

AN ASIS WELCOME TO NEW STUDENTS 
Karen J. (Kitty) McClanahan 

Hi, everybody: 

The UK Student Chapter of ASIS, the American Society for Information
Science, would like to
welcome all of the new students starting in the Library and information
Science program this fall,
and ask this thought-provoking question: what is the difference between
being a member of a student
organization, and being a contestant on "Survivor"? Our answer: a lot! 

1. Student organization members: attend interesting & enjoyable meetings
and events. Survivor
contestants: attend mosquito-swatting contests. 

2. Student organization members: read informative professional journals
and publications, through
convenient subscriptions included in their membership fee. Survivor
contestants: read backs of each
other's care package snack boxes, checked out from island's lending
library. 

3. Student organization members: establish friendships with future
colleagues that extend into their
professional lives. Survivor contestants: establish flimsy alliances that
extend only until the next
backstabbing, uh, voting opportunity. 

4. Student organization members: get a warm sense of belonging. Survivor
contestants: get a warm
sense of sunburn. 

5. Student organization members: get a service-oriented item for their
resumes to impress
prospective employers. Survivor contestants: get experiences that
prospective employers won't care
much about, unless they're looking for skilled spear-fishers. 

6. Here's the best thing of all. While Survivor contestants only get one
choice at the end of each
show, students don't have to choose just one organization to belong to;
they can join any or all four of
the available LIS student organizations: LISSO, ALA, SLA, or ASIS. Well,
actually, the best thing of
all is that none of these organizations will make you eat rats and bugs --
a definite plus! 

Seriously speaking, joining a student chapter of a professional
organization is important because it
rounds out your academic experience at UK, and builds a bridge to your
post-degree professional
life. The learning process continues on after your LIS degree is complete;
organizational
membership will both keep you up to date on the developments in the field
(through the journals) and
develop your understanding of the field's current political climate. All
of these organizations have
discounted membership rates for students, allowing you to "test drive" the
organizations affordably,
and see which one(s) mesh most closely with your career objectives. So,
why not give yourself
every advantage, when the time comes to begin your LIS-related career?
Join at least one student
organization -- you'll be doing much more than just "surviving!" 

Thank you, and best wishes, 

Kitty McClanahan 
Chair, UK-ASIS Student Chapter

GLEN HORTON -- MEMBER PROFILE 

By Jim Cretsos 

A tall figure, towering at six-foot-three, Glen Horton adds presence to
any meeting. And judging
from his youthful face, it's easy to mistake him for a high schooler or a
college freshman--his overall
appearance helps create that impression. He says, he is not a terribly
gregarious person. Certainly
that's only an understatement. Sure, he's shy, to the point you have to
nudge him at times to encourage
him to speak. But underneath that bashful, try-to-blend-with-the-wallpaper
persona lurks a ferocious
tiger of pure talent, professional dynamism, and unmatched technical
competence. 

Proof: In his first active year in SOASIS, Glen volunteered to do the
tough jobs--not just one, but
three. 

As Chair of the SOASIS Awards Committee, Glen guided his committee in
updating the Chapter's
awards guidelines and developing the guidelines for the newly created
SOASIS Student Chapter
Member-of-the-Year Award. He moved quickly on this year's awards program
by sending out an
early call for nominations and by meeting with his committee to select
this year's award winners.
And, not surprisingly, he fulfilled his committee's charges by mid year. 

As the SOASIS Representative to OCLIS, Glen took the initiative to contact
the Chair of OCLIS, and
encourage him to get that organization back on track. 

As SOASIS Co-Webmaster, he spearheaded the improvement of the SOASIS Web
site, enhancing its
design and adding substantially to its content. 

With Glen, there is no 'manana.' Tomorrow's work gets done yesterday.
Thanks to Glen, the SOASIS
Web site is the most frequently updated and the most current of all Web
sites in ASIS. Check it out,
and you'll concur. 

That's why the SOASIS membership nominated Glen Horton for the Chapter's
prestigious Heberle
Eyles Leadership Award which he will receive on October 13 at the SOASIS
Annual Business and
Awards Meeting in Lexington. 

But who is really Glen Horton, SOASIS member of mystery, and where does he
hail from? 

If it were possible for Frank Sinatra to return to us and sing his
unforgettable rendition of My Kind
of Town, Mr. Sinatra would undoubtedly add a line to the Cahn-Van Housen
lyrics of that well
known song, and it would go something like this, 

"Glen Horton, Chicago is." 

Indeed, Glen Horton was born in Chicago, the City that never sleeps.
Chicago is also the birthplace
of Glen's mom, Karen, and her side of the family, and Glen's younger
sister, Marlene. 

Glen's father, Ronald, passed away when Glen was only four years old.
Karen Horton tried very
hard to manage life, holding a variety of jobs while raising her young
children at the same time. And
when Glen reached the unsettling age of 12, his mom decided it was high
time for her and the kids to
move out of that huge and unwieldy city. The Horton family moved to
Hamilton, Ohio, the town that
the Champion Paper Co. built to its specifications, a small town full of
friendly neighbors. 

It's strange how relocating to another area can change our lives forever. 


And so it was with Glen. The City of Hamilton turned out to be Glen's
pivotal point in life. That's
where Glen first met Beth Anne, a native of Hamilton, when they were both
in junior high school.
Theirs was not a ninth grade romance of chance (what do 15 year-olds know
about love). Actually,
Glen and Beth met through Beth's twin sister, Becky, and Glen's best
friend, Caine. Becky and Caine
were dating at the time, and it seemed like a good idea for Beth and Glen
to start going out together. 

The Prom, the Prom, the Junior High Prom. Just picture it: Glen and Beth
dressed to their nines (after
all, they are ninth graders), gliding gracefully through the dance floor,
as if that fox-trot the orchestra
was playing was designed to showcase Glen's terpsichorean skills. Not, so.
Just ask Beth. She still
remembers her bruised toes that had happened to get caught repeatedly
under Glen's size-13 shoes. 

Fact: Glen does not resemble Fred Astaire on the dance floor. Not even
remotely. 

So, what? It's the journey and the rewards that come at the end of the
journey that count. And, like
some journeys, this one was tough, marked by separation--a crushing blow
to the 15-year olds. 

Less than four months after that fateful prom, Beth's family moved to
Dayton because of her father's
new job at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. That move affected both
the twin sisters and their
beaus. Our couple, along with Becky and Cain, decided to tough it out.
They would do whatever was
possible to see the other on the weekends. They would beg their parents
for rides, meet halfway,
make telephone calls after midnight, or create a reasonable excuse to get
the transportation they
needed. It was hard. It was so hard that Becky and Caine decided to split.
Not Beth and Glen. They
persevered. They managed to stay together throughout their high school
years, despite the long 50
miles that separated them. Glen would go to Beth's school dances and Beth
would go to his--even
when her toes begged her not to go. 

The Prom, the Prom. But it was not the Prom. It was a relationship that
grew and grew and grew.
Call it love, if you will. 

High school graduation. Decision time. A tough time. What to do, now? 

As Glen tells it, he decided to attend Wright State University in Dayton
because of its solid computer
science program. He even managed to get his own room in Beth's house,
thanks to generosity of
Beth's parents. It was the computer science program. Really. Oh, yeah,
sure. 

Glen Horton received his BS degree in Computer Science, with a second
concentration in
Educational Technology, from Wright State University. Really! 

It was an easy progression for Glen to get a job after graduation as a LAN
Analyst at Wright State
University Libraries, a place where he worked as a student worker while
going to school. 

Getting that job meant a regular salary and that also meant moving into
his own apartment--financial
independence, they call it. That move was painful for both Glen and Beth.
Though transportation was
no longer a problem, it was a painful separation nonetheless. No more
sharing meals, no more
holding hands, and no more good night kisses. Absence alone creates a
yearning, a yearning strong
enough to lead to… 

Marriage! 

And Beth and Glen lived happily ever after, as our story goes, knowing
each other for 11 years and
being married for almost three of those years. How could that couple
possibly miss! 

Any way you look at it, it's always sunny side up for the Hortons. Please
take a peek: Glen has a new
job as the Technology Coordinator with the Greater Cincinnati Library
Consortium. The Hortons
have just moved to a town house in the Williamsburg community of Wyoming,
just outside of
Cincinnati. And suddenly, the population of Wyoming has exploded… by
three. On August 8, Beth
and Glen became the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl whom they named
Macy Anne. And
Beth? Please don't bother Beth. She is busy at home taking care of Macy
Ann and baking cookies. 

We are sure you know this song, a song most fitting the Horton family. So,
let's sing it! 

Who can ask for anything more? Who can ask for anything more! 

Want to get more personal? 
Here is summary of our exhaustive investigation to unmask Glen's persona. 

He reads. The last book he read was Mark Twain's Winter's Tale, a book he
really enjoyed in high
school. 

He goes to the movies, occasionally and only when they show a movie like
The Matrix. That movie
had not only fast paced action scenes but it was also thought provoking
because it demonstrated the
down side of people relying too heavily on technology. 

He listens to music. He has developed a well-rounded taste for music,
especially music of the '80s.
What about country music? That's offensive to Glen's ears--does not like
it, and his face turns purple
even when he hears country music mentioned. 

He watches TV. Not much, only when The Simpsons is on. Duh! 

He exercises daily. He lifts weights, though you won't find any barbells
or dumbbells in his
basement. He has developed his unique weight-training program by lifting
and drinking as many cans
of pop as his stomach could hold, alternating arms between repetitions to
ensure equal development
of biceps. 

He is a hands-on computer hardware professional who sees management at
some point in his career,
with the end goal to facilitate learning or improve people's lives in some
fashion. 

Most [all] people's goal in life is to be happy. For Glen, a lot of his
happiness comes from
perceiving the joy of those around him. That enables him to focus on
others' needs without feeling he
is neglecting himself. That goes for his home life as well as his
professional life. 

So, there you have it: Glen Horton, unmasked: An exceptional human being,
a loving husband and
father, a dedicated information professional, a SOASIS leader par
excellence. 

And if, by chance, the haunting melody of Yesterday invades your brain,
think not of reveries and
remembrances of things past. Think, instead, of your good intentions to
accomplish something
tomorrow, next week, or months from now. And then, think of Glen Horton
who did it, yesterday.

For Those Who Missed the SOASIS Workshop on "Practical Leadership" 
August 17, 2000, LEXIS-NEXIS, Dayton, OH. 

- Patricia Carter 

Those fortunate SOASIS members who attended Jo McDermott's illuminating
workshop on
"Practical Leadership" learned much about leadership and how to become a
leader. 

In this half-day program, Jo McDermott of Catalyst for Change Consulting
provided practical
information on leadership, and how it could be applied to career,
professional association, and
personal life. Jo McDermott is proficient at she does--inspiring
people--and we plan to have her
share her wisdom with us again, provided we are lucky enough to get her as
a presenter. The
presentation was stimulating, thought-provoking, and challenged
participants to look inward (as well
as outward) in characterizing leadership. Jo is an outstanding speaker--
engaging, dynamic, and
clearly presents information from her wealth of knowledge from voluminous
reading. (Many
remember her from a talk she gave to SLA over two years ago.) 

Jo described three tasks related to leadership: know yourself, understand
the environment, and
reframe. She stated that we are all leaders in our daily lives but at
different points on the continuums
of characteristics commonly associated with leadership. For example,
aggressive vs. passive,
decisive vs. indecisive, initiator vs. non-initiator, optimistic vs.
pessimistic, direct vs. indirect, etc.
She set forth that you're most effective when you are well known to
yourself and well known to
others. 

According to Jo, part of understanding the environment is networking, and
avoiding common ways
whereby successful people fail-overlooking the importance of people,
working in isolation, having
difficulty working with authority, failing to focus on image and
communication, having too broad or
narrow a vision, etc. She went on to say that successful networking should
involve relationships
with superiors, peers, and subordinates, and that most people fail at
managing relationships laterally.


Jo asserted that in order to reframe, you must look at something
differently. She explained that we
usually are not focused on one thing but easily distracted to thinking of
other things. She went on to
say that we can all "flip the switch" to focus entirely on one thing, but
it's usually when we're in an
emergency situation. Jo challenges us to "flip the switch" when there's
not an emergency. She went
on to define leadership, historical leaders, power vs. leadership,
leadership styles, situational
leadership, follower readiness, how to effectively lead, and
communication-- the right kind of
communication, patterns of communication, effective communication, and
inspirational
communication. Tips for inspirational communication include: using
emotion-provoking words,
knowing exactly what you want, selling group members on the benefits of
your suggestions, and
gearing our message to the listener. 

The audience had several opportunities to demonstrate leadership skills
through persuading (or not)
the audience to engage in activities. There was an intellectual game of
musical chairs, participants
promoted their professional organization, or persuaded others to take a
sip of an unpalatable,
viscous liquid--all skills of effective leadership. And there was much
discussion on how to increase
members' involvement in associations through effective leadership. 

All in all, the workshop on practical leadership skills was fun, true to
its theme, and worth every
penny of the registration fee.

Minutes of SOASIS Board Meeting 
June 14, 2000 
Engineering Research Center University of Cincinnati 

Meeting convened at 3:00 p.m. 

Present: Alison Armstrong, Elna Saxton, Megan Fitzpatrick, Ted Morris,
Glen Horton, Angela
Myatt, Jim Cretsos. 

1. Chair's Opening Remarks 
Jim Cretsos reminded those present that the last board meeting was
cancelled because few board
members had indicated they were coming to meeting. He requested that board
members notify him
about attending the meeting when they receive the announcement so that he
knows if there will be a
quorum. 

2. Approval of Minutes of February 2nd 2000 (Angela Myatt) 
The minutes were approved unanimously. 

3. Committee Reports 
3.1 Awards (Glen Horton) 
This year's SOASIS awards will be presented at the Chapter's Annual
Business Meeting in October
and the recipients will be listed in the Newsletter. The Board endorsed
SOASIS' nomination of
Patricia J. Carter for the ASIS Chapter Member-of-the-Year Award, and
Alison and Glen agreed to
write letters in support of that nomination. 

3.2 Finances (Megan Fitzpatrick) 
Jim Cretsos initiated a discussion on the financial support of invited
speakers, referring specifically
to the upcoming joint meeting in the fall with the Miami Valley Computing
Societies which requires
seed money (approximately $50). It was decided that financial support was
at the Board's discretion.

3.2.1 Treasurer's Report (Megan Fitzpatrick) 
Megan handed out copies of the SOASIS Quarterly Treasurer's Report. The
Chapter is in the black.
The net gain is $573.53. Megan agreed to clarify the Report at the request
of Ted Morris. 

3.3 Meetings (Ted Morris) 
Ted handed out copies of e-mail from Patricia Carter that listed the
tentative plan for upcoming
meetings from the Technical Programs Committee. Discussion followed about
the location of
meetings. The Board agreed to continue having joint programs with the
Indiana Chapter. 

3.4 Membership (Jim Cretsos for Jill Sellers) 
SOASIS membership was 'not doing badly'. 
3.4.1 and 3.4.2 Membership Report/ SOASIS Demographics 
Jim handed out copies of the SOASIS Membership June 2000 report as broken
down into Status and
Demographics of Regular Members. 
3.4.3 Prospects 
Jim noted that members in the Cincinnati area are in the majority and are
also the most active. In
order to maintain a pool of members and recruit new members, from which to
draw Board members,
he hopes the Membership Committee will continue its member-retention
program and start a
new-member recruitment campaign in the fall. 

3.5 Newsletter (Elna Saxton) 
The next newsletter will be in September. The June Newsletter has just
gone out in electronic text
and paper formats. A discussion followed about distributing the Newsletter
in electronic text format
and also in the very time-consuming paper format. Jim emphasized the
necessity of continuing to
produce the Newsletter in both formats. 

3.6 Nominations (Jim Cretsos for Victoria Whipple) 
3.6.1 and 3.6.2 Jim assured everyone that the lack of members willing to
run for office had now been
solved. See 3.8 below. 

3.7 Student Chapters (Jim Cretsos) 
3.7.1 University of Kentucky (Jim Cretsos) 
Jim reported the last meeting of our student chapter had a 'very solid
technical program, but the
meeting was not well attended'. 
3.7.2 OhioLEARN (Alison Armstrong) 
This virtual chapter has 22 members, and activities are scheduled starting
in mid July. They are
doing very well. Two members are willing to do a list serve and a web
page. 

3.8 Think Group (Jim Cretsos for Barbara Davis) 
Following a meeting of this group, there are now sufficient nominees for
SOASIS board members
for the next year. The present Board agreed that another ballot should be
compiled. 

3.9 Web Page (Alison Armstrong and Glen Horton) 
Alison and Glen gave a full report of progress to date. The report
mentioned several enhancements
that were made and would be made to the SOASIS Web page. 

3.10 Workshops (Jim Cretsos for Doug Kaylor) 
There will be no June workshop. The Board agreed to have the Programs
Committee assume the
responsibility for planning future workshops and technical programs. Doug
is in the running for
Chapter Assembly Director, and ASIS President Garfield has given Doug
additional responsibilities
in connection with the name change of the Society. 

4. Old Business 
4.1 Board Meetings (Jim Cretsos) 
Please let Jim know in advance whether or not you plan to attend. 
4.2 Other (Members of the Board) 
Nothing 

5 New Business 
5.1 Yvonne Davis' Proposal on Electronic Banking (Jim Cretsos) 
After much discussion it was decided not to pursue the proposal at this
time. 

5.2 New Slate and New Elections (Jim Cretsos) 
The new slate of SOASIS officers for Administrative Year 2001: 
Chair: Barbara Davis 
Chair-elect: Patricia J. Carter 
Secretary: Ted Baldwin 
Treasurer: John Tebo 
CA Rep.: Glen Horton 
CA Alt. Rep: Yvonne Davis 

5.3 ASIS Name Change and Chapter Bylaws (Jim Cretsos) 
As ASIS will have a new name, so will the Chapters and the Bylaws will
probably have to be
changed. It was not deemed necessary to halt the new order of mugs that
Megan had just submitted.
See 5.5 below. 

5.4 SOASIS Annual Activity Report (Jim Cretsos) 
Jim requested committee chairs submit their reports. The Board decided
that the Chapter should 'go
for' the Chapter-of-the-Year Award. 

5.5 Other (Members of the Board) 
Megan reported that after extensive research, she had ordered a dozen
Chapter mugs from a new
supplier. The cost is $7.69 per mug. 

6. Adjournment 
The meeting adjourned at 4:55 p.m.
