Dear SIGCISers, I've recently taken up the vacant SIGCIS Member Communications position. In that capacity, I will be posting blog entries to www.sigcis.org on a regular basis with information and commentary that is (hopefully) of interest to this community. (My first post is up now.) Marie Hicks has also agreed to help me with this task from time to time (thank you!). I will be keeping an eye out for information to pass on, but my success will in part depend on all of you. If you are aware are any events, books, conferences, special journal issues or other items that you think our community should be made aware of on this blog, please e-mail me and let me know. Thanks, Chris McDonald
