Your recent message asked if anyone knew about other SIGS and what they are
doing for their members.  I know a little about what SIGCHI is doing and has
done in the past year or so.

SIGCHI continues to publish the SIGCHI Bulletin, an approximately 100 page
quarterly publication, which is provided to all members.  

In addition to the Bulletin, SIGCHI sponsors the annual ACM/SIGCHI Human
Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) conferences.  Our most recent conference
was just at the beginning of this month in New Orleans and was attended by
about 2100 people, with about 300 of those coming from outside North
America.  SIGCHI members have recently been mailed the proceedings from that
conference, as an additional membership benefit.

SIGCHI has also sent its members the CSCW90 and UIST90 proceedings as an
additional benefit.  CSCW, UIST and the Hypertext conferences, as well as
the Document Processing conference, were all sponsored in part by SIGCHI.
SIGCHI has also sponsored a number of smaller workshops over time, such as
the 1988 Workshop on Architerctures for Intelligent Interfaces (ACM Press
has just released the book from this workshop!)

The annual CHI conference will be held in Monterey, CA, next year, with the
INTERCHI conference (a joint CHI and IFIP Interact conference) planned for
1993 in Amsterdam.

Hope this fills you in a bit on the activities of SIGCHI!
