NEASIS&T enjoyed connecting with attendees and sharing information about the chapter at the ASIS&T 2026 Information Science Summit & Special Libraries Conference (ISS/SLC26) in Albuquerque in June. Much appreciation to everyone who stopped by the table during the breaks to learn more about NEASIST and to get candy. And thank you to chair-elect, Michele Costello, for organizing our presence at the conference. There was a raffle drawing too for a New Mexico-themed snack basket. Congratulations to the lucky raffle winner, Rebecca Stallworth! Pictures from the tabling can be found on the NEASIST website.
