Each year, the Los Angeles Chapter of American Society for Information Science and Technology presents its Contributions to Information Science & Technology Award to one or more individuals who have made significant contribution to the field. Recipients are those individuals who are recognized by their colleagues as exceptional leaders whose dedication, commitment and vision inspire others, or whose singular contribution to the field of information science has been particularly significant. See list of Past Recipients. The recipient need not be an ASIS&T member, nor living in the Southern California area. The Chapter invites the Award recipient(s) to be the speaker at the Awards meeting in the Fall. This offers a great opportunity to recognize a leader or a visionary in our profession, and learn more about his/her contribution. Please submit the name of the individual you wish to nominate for the CISTA 2009/2010 by November 1st, 2009.
