Scientific and Technical Information Science (STI)


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. SIG/STI sponsors the Tri-Society Symposium, jointly with the Chemical Information Division of the American Chemical Society and the Chemistry Section of the Special Libraries Association. The Symposium is held every four years to address research and applications in chemical information science. SIG/STI also sponsors two awards for students to support their attendance at an ASIS&T mid-year or annual meeting: the CAS Student Award, funded by Chemical Abstracts Service, and the BIOSIS Student Award, funded by BIOSIS.
