New SIG team and call for volunteers
If you haven't already heard, the SciCom SIG now has a new management team. You can read about the new team and their plans for the future of the SIG in the latest SIG Manager's Message.
As stated in that message, there's plenty of room for volunteers to help to make the SIG a vital, and useful resource for all its members. If you'd like to get involved in planning events, writing content for the website, managing volunteers, running member surveys, or any of the other items mentioned, please don't hesitate to get in touch through the stcscsig-l mailing list, or by emailing stcscsig.membership@gmail.com
We'd like to sincerely thank Kathie Gorski and Geoff Hart, the departing management team, for their work on the SciCom SIG.
SIG member survey published
|SIG manager Kathie Gorski has recently published a survey which forms part of the ongoing rechartering effort of the SciCom SIG. All SIG members are encouraged to have their say. Here's Kathie's announcement:
Greetings, fellow members of the Scientific Communication SIG.
A group of volunteers from the SciCom SIG invites you to take a survey to help us determine how we might make our SIG more valuable to you in your professional life. The survey asks you to evaluate current SIG services and potential additional services. It also asks a bit about you, so that we may get to know you better and serve you better.
Please take a few minutes to participate in the survey. It will be live through Tuesday, September 8.
The survey can be found at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=dwbgY0Ik2oWTn5ZnKEP7Yg_3d_3d
Thank you.
Kathie Gorski, your SIG manager
