by Barbie E. Keiser
Open States is the latest in a collection of Big Data-open government analysis tools from Sunlight Foundation.

ASIS&T Changes Its Name, Enhances Its Global Mission
With nearly 90% of all ballots cast voting in favor of a name change, the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) recently became the Association for Information Science and Technology. While the ASIS&T acronym stays the same, the name change recognizes the growing influence of ASIS&T in the international arena. The opportunities and challenges with respect to the science and technology of information are increasingly international in focus and scope. ASIS&T supports members around the globe in addressing these opportunities and challenges.
