Hyperviews:Online 2000 SIG Meeting Report

	2000 SIG MEETING REPORT B Y S C O T T D E L O A C H SIG Manager Atlanta Chapter
	Every year, the Online SIG holds a business meeting at the Annual Conference. This year, we focused on identifying new SIG activities. These potential SIG activities are summarized below.
Special offers	Last year, we introduced special "members only" offers. Our goal is to help offset and justify the $5 SIG membership charge. Members currently receive an announcement that a new Hyperviews:Online has been posted, and those who attend the Annual Conference receive a member gift. This year, we handed out SIG buttons. I hope to also provide SIG T-shirts next year (at cost) to interested members. The special offers page is going well, but we need a volunteer to coordinate the offers. If you are interested, please send me an e-mail at scott@userfirst.net.
Membership database	The membership database team was disbanded due to work commitments. I am currently recruiting a new team. The original team did a great job of identifying our limitations, opportunities, available technologies, and potential designs. The new team will be able to use this planning information to implement the database. The membership database will be another "members only" benefit.
Online SIG issue of the Journal	We have discussed a possible Online SIG-coordinated issue of the STC Journal. The Journal's editor, George Hayhoe, has expressed an interest. If you are interested in contributing, please contact me at scott@userfirst.net.
Online SIG conference	Some members have asked about a SIG conference. I have looked into this idea, but I think it would be better to link our efforts with the Annual Conference and regional conferences. Managing a conference is a very time-comsuming job and takes a lot of coordinated effort.
	Scott DeLoach is the Manager of the Online Information SIG. He loves to receive e-mail about the Online SIG at scott@userfirst.net.
