Hello everyone, With the annual meeting coming up there is no better time to update your member profile and description of research interests at http://www.sigcis.org/?q=profile. As we will have 40 people or more at the lunch there won't be time for everyone to make a public introduction. We will stick with the practice of recent years and pull together the online statements from attendees for precirculation. You'll then know who at the conference has relevant interests and can keep an eye out for them. I will be distributing the directory of SHOT attendees by email on Thursday, so if your entry is updated then please Of the two hundred or so SIGCIS members only about 70 have directory entries, and about 20 of those are blank. Populating or creating your directory entry is a great way of introducing yourself to the community. It may be particularly useful for graduate students. This is the community hub for people with a scholarly interest in the history of information technology. We still don't have a new secretary, so I am handling the reminder myself this year. Here's how to create or update your directory entry: 1. Login to SIGCIS here: http://www.sigcis.org/?q=user. You should have received an email with your password when you registered. If you've forgotten your password, then go here http://www.sigcis.org/?q=user/password, enter your email address, and it will send you a new one. If you were on the listserv prior to our move to SIGCIS.org then you may not have a SIGCIS account, but creating one is easy. http://www.sigcis.org/?q=user/register 2. The system will then take you directly to the screen where you view your member profile. 3. To edit the member profile click the "edit" tab toward the top of the screen. 4. Then to get to the screen with your affiliation and statement of interests click the "Member Information" tab which will have appeared just below the "Edit" tab. 5. Make changes, or paste in an updated statement. Then click "Submit." I just did mine - it really only takes a minute. While you're logged in, you can change your password to something more memorable. Best wishes, Tom Haigh www.tomandmaria.com/tom
