[SIGCIS-Members] Best paper awards for Social Informatics

[Thomas Haigh]

A reminder of these annual prizes.

"Social informatics" is intended to encompass historical work on the
adoption and use of information technology. An argument could also be made
for papers taking a clearly articulated "social shaping/social construction"
argument with respect to a technology.

There are two emails below. One is for the "best paper" published in 2011,
one is for the best published paper or conference paper delivered by a
student in 2011. The cash awards may not fully cover the cost of going to
ASIS&T to collect them, so will be most attractive to people with a
preexisting interest in engaging with this community.
