Eligibility

ASIS&T Outstanding Information Science Teacher Award, with an application deadline in March, offers numerous awards that vary in amount.

Description

The ASIS&T Outstanding Information Science Teacher Award recognizes and honors excellence in teaching in information science. For this award, "information science" is considered to include all the communication activities and information science and technology fields noted in the ASIS&T Constitution and Bylaws. The nominee must be directly engaged in teaching some aspect of information science on a continuing basis, in an academic or a non-academic setting. The nominee must be a current member in good standing of ASIS&T. Nominees need not be associated with an educational institution; however, teaching information science must represent a significant work responsibility although it need not occur within the traditional classroom. Workshops, speeches, publications, and presentations, in addition to academic courses, can also be used to teach information science. Prior award winners, current members of the Awards and Honors Committee, and current members of the Board of Directors are not eligible. Name, affiliation, and contact information of both the nominee and nominator must be submitted. Up to three supporting letters may be submitted. Up to four supporting documents may also be submitted, which may include such items as: course syllabi or outlines; innovative and imaginative teaching or presentation materials or descriptions of teaching methods; and documentation of speeches or presentations given, and/or a list of consulting activities, professional association activities, or awards and honors, if they are related to teaching excellence. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Association for Information Science and Technology for more information.
