[Mark Goldstein]

The Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP -
http://www.aiip.org/) is pleased to announce that nominations are now open
for our ninth annual AIIP Technology Award. Members and non-members alike
are welcome to nominate any company or individual that produces information
products (databases, web organizers, Internet sites) as an entry in the
competition via a short and simple nominations form found online.

There will be two categories; one for web based services and another for
desktop software. Successful entries in each category will be new or
revamped products or technologies that help information professionals with
their day-to-day operations in locating, analyzing and organizing

not consider accounting, word-processing, database or spreadsheet, or other
programs not directly related to locating, analyzing, or organizing data
appropriate for this award. The deadline for nominations is October 10,
2008.
