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.
