摘要：In her address starting her term as ASIS&T president in October
2011, Diane Sonnenwald exhorted the leadership and membership
to consider the implications of the name of the organization, the
American Society for Information Science and Technology, and
encouraged moving beyond a national focus.With a global perspective,
Sonnenwald pointed out the North American bias that runs through
much of the organization¡¯s practices, communications, bylaws and
awards. The effect presents obstacles to international networking
and limits full participation in the association¡¯s opportunities.
Removing these barriers to participation will promote greater visibility
for the discipline worldwide and enable it to gain the recognition it
warrants. Sonnenwald encouraged practical thinking beyond past
practices to strengthen outreach locally and build it internationally.
