About SIG/STI
About SIG/STI: Scientific and Technical Information
The American Society for Information Science and Technology supports a variety of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) where members with similar professional specialties and interests can exchange ideas and keep informed about their areas of special interest.
SIG/STI focuses on the applications of information science to the production, organization, and dissemination of scientific and technical information. Members of this SIG are concerned with enhancing access to information in the pure and applied sciences. SIG/STI provides a forum for information specialists, librarians, scientists, and others who work in a scientific setting to discuss and evaluate developments that offer potential for more effective management of numerical, image, and textual information.
Membership in SIG/STI is open to any ASIS&T member with an interest in science and technology information systems.
