SIG Information Needs, Seeking and Use (SIG USE)
The 2010 SIG of the Year is SIG
Information Needs, Seeking and Use (SIG USE). SIG USE celebrated their tenth
anniversary in 2009 with a special workshop and reception, publication, a
promotional poster, conference “swag”, and multiple contacts with their
members both through traditional publications and online in a variety of web 2.0
platforms, and in Second Life. One of the jury members said it best, “This SIG
leveraged the opportunity offered by their 10th anniversary year to aid in
recruitment and retention of members, to publicize the SIG, to celebrate its
members, and to promote awareness of its activities... Their summary of their
annual activities sparkles with energy and enthusiasm, and ASIST is fortunate to
have SIG-USE as one of its constituent bodies.” Congratulations to SIG USE,
and particularly to Soo Young Rieh, Chair, and all the other officers of SIG
USE, for being this year’s ASIS&T SIG of the Year.
