The article offers updates on the special interest group in the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) Information Needs, Seeking and Use (SIG/USE). It states that in the 1999 Mid-Year Meeting, the first SIG/USE-sponsored panel happened with the title "Information Use in the Professions." It adds that the organization has organized the first SIG/USE Research Symposium with the theme "Effective Methods for Studying Information Seeking and Use" in 2001 headed by Ann Peterson Bishop and Ruth Palmquist. It notes that SIG/USE has flourished with a membership of over 300 members in 2009. Furthermore, the highlight of the 10th anniversary of SIG/USE was the induction of the 10 fellows of the Academy of Research Fellows in November 7, 2009.
