摘要：Accepting the ASIS&T Award of Merit for 2011, Gary Marchionini reflected on his early
career in mathematics education and its synergies with information science. He observed
that information scientists are connectors and that the field itself is based on establishing
connectivity.We create mappings or links between elements, such as maps between
search queries and documents, between databases and information objects, between
concepts and taxonomies, between searchers¡¯ mental models and interfaces. Mapping
such relationships is similar to a bridge spanning spaces and cultures, a linchpin coupling
an engine and load, and a membrane regulating cellular transport in that each relates sets
of properties. In the sphere of human interactions, relationships enable us to move from ¡°I¡±
to ¡°we.¡± Marchionini expressed appreciation for connections made through ASIS&T and
looked ahead to making and studying intellectual and social connections in the field and
the organization.
