Hi everyone,

Yes, we'll be having a casual SIGCIS get together on Sunday! Boston 9:00-12:00pm · London 12:00-15:00pm · Tokyo 10:00pm-01:00am

We're envisioning this as similar to the usual SIGCIS lunch, except without an auction or food. But it will still have casual conversation and getting to know our community a bit better. The format will depend on how many attend and what tools the software has. I doubt we'll use all 3 hours, so please try to come at the beginning.

Hope to see many of you there!
Liz

Subject: [SIGCIS-Members] SIGCIS meeting at SHOT on Sunday?

Sorry to be out of touch, but is there a SIGCIS meeting as part of the online SHOT conference? I see it on the program, Sunday 9-12, but don’t see anything on the new SIGCIS website (which is terrific, thanks for updating!). Is this a mistake in the program or a real thing? (I’m picturing a virtual auction of ebooks…)

thanks,
Janet
