[SIGCIS-Members] ASIST historical preconference day - Oct 27, Baltimore

Mon Aug 27 12:32:17 PDT 2012

Hello,

I forwarded the call for this some time ago, and as inevitably as summer
turns to autumn here is the program. Bob Williams, one of the organizers,
has asked me to forward this and would love to see some historians there.
The event features at least one SIGCIS member, Andy Russell, but will be of
the greatest appeal to those with a specific interest in the history of
information science. Registration is a little high –early bird is $240 for
student non members, $315 for other non members, but if you scroll below you
will see another message about $200 travel awards for interested students
which could be helpful (though you would have to join ASIS&T to apply).
