President’s Column................................. Vice President’s Column…...………….. Call for Papers…………………………. Member News…………………………. PRESIDENT’S COLUMN Lisa Johnston Welcome to winter everyone! You may notice a few changes to the GSIS Newsletter this year. The Executive Board voted last year to move from our 6 issue/year format to quarterly to better fill our bulletin with highlights and news and to supplement the electronic listserv. This spring I will also be reviewing the brainstorming ideas that were generated at the GSA meeting in Minneapolis. Our goal was to formulate ways that GSIS could tackle issues pertinent to our members in a more structured way. Thanks to everyone who participated. All GSIS members will have a chance to comment through an e-mail survey later this year. Some of you may have noticed a downtime of our GSIS website (http://geoinfo.org) in the fall. I want to take the opportunity to thank all of the people involved with getting this tricky problem resolved as quickly as possible. Our web site domain registry company required a bit of paperwork to authorize any changes made to the host (continued on page 3) Conference Announcement…………… GSIS 2011 Treasurer’s Report………... Geoscience Journal Prices…………….. Publications List………………………. VICE PRESIDENT’S COLUMN Linda Zellmer The winter holiday break is almost over, and the rush to prepare for the spring semester is upon us. I am working on updating library guides to prepare for library instruction sessions this spring. Many of us have had an unusually mild winter so far, although this will probably not last for much longer. After a bit of e-mail discussion, Lisa Johnston, Bob Tolliver and I developed a theme for the GSIS technical session next fall. The theme will be: Geoscience Information: Investing in the Future. As we know, many geoscientists use both recent and older publications. The transition to digital publications means that we may have less control over our collections in the future. Then there is the spatial data, which can be used and updated repeatedly over time. I have given several talks on the need to plan for archiving spatial data, relating the lifespan of spatial data to the lifespan of a mayfly (which hatches, breeds and dies within 24 hours).
