Inside ASIS

Remember Y2K? It was just nine months ago that Y2K represented potential doom for computer and information systems worldwide. But as the new millennium dawned, disaster did not follow. Instead, the world's computers booted up, records were intact and economies have boomed.

For the American Society for Information Science, Y2K has been particularly good, representing many new events. Of course, it's the new millennium, but it was also the new ASIS Summit series, beginning with the Information Architecture Summit that has helped define a new area of interest for ASIS and its members.

And now, halfway through the first year of the millennium, ASIS looks forward to a new name and as the year comes to an end - a new address.

At its meeting in May, the ASIS Board of Directors reacted to the positive response of the ASIS membership by initiating the legal steps necessary to change the ASIS corporate charter to reflect a new name for the organization. Once the corporate charter is officially amended, ASIS will move forward with other actions required to implement the name change to the American Society for President's Page, page 2, for more about the name change.)

And finally, in this new year, the ASIS Headquarters will move to a new office location that better reflects the space and technology requirements for the 21st century. Stay tuned to the Bulletin for details of these and other exciting millennium activites.
