Doctoral Students SIG at ALISE 2014

Headed to ALISE 2014? Don’t miss the Doctoral Student SIG business meeting at 7:30 on Wednesday, especially if you’re interested in becoming involved. Chairs cannot participate in the Doctoral Student Poster competition, so if you know you won’t qualify to enter that next year, think about taking over for the current chairs!

Also not to be missed: The Doc SIG program session on “Developing Theories and Models in Research: Where to Begin?” Our guest speakers will be Karen E. Fisher of the University of Washington and Sanda Erdelez of the University of Missouri who were co-editors of Theories of Information Behaviour (2005) and are currently working on a new edition.

Volunteers Needed

Attention ALISE doctoral student members:  ALISE needs volunteers for the registration table at the conference, especially from 8am-6pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 21-22.  It’s a great way to meet people and put names you may already know with faces.  Contact Jessica at contact@alise.org or 312-795-0996 if you can help out.  Thanks!
