2003 NASIG CONFERENCE STUDENT GRANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) is currently seeking
candidates for grants to attend the Eighteenth Annual Conference to be
held at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, on June 26-29,
2003. Established in 1985, NASIG is an independent organization that
promotes communication and sharing of ideas among all members of the
serials information chain - anyone working with or concerned about
serials. For more information about NASIG, please see the NASIG web page
at http://www.nasig.org.

Through the granting of these awards, NASIG desires to encourage
participation in this information chain by students who are interested
in pursuing some aspect of serials work upon completion of their
professional degrees. Each year the annual conference is held on a
different college or university campus, where the various segments of
the serials community (including publishers, vendors, and librarians)
meet in an informal setting to network and share information. The
conference includes the presentation of papers, panels, workshops,
tours, and social events.

SCOPE OF AWARD: Recipients are expected to attend the entire conference
and submit a brief written report to NASIG, which will be excerpted, for
publication in the NASIG Newsletter. Expenses for travel, registration,
meals, and lodging will be paid by NASIG. Each recipient will also
receive a year's membership in NASIG.

ELIGIBILITY: Students who are currently enrolled at the graduate level
in a library school ALA-accredited now and/or at the time of enrollment,
who do not already have an ALA accredited degree, and who have expressed
an interest in some aspect of serials work, are eligible. Applicants
must be full- or part-time students at the time of application. In order
to accept an award, a recipient must not be employed in a position
requiring an ALA accredited degree, or on leave from such a position, at
the time of acceptance of the grant. Equal consideration will be given
to all qualified applicants, with preference given to those earning
their degrees the year of the conference. Students do not have to be
NASIG members to apply, and they must not have earned their degrees
earlier than the end of the school year prior to the NASIG conference.
Applicants must not have attended a previous NASIG conference, but may
have participated in a NASIG conference as a local volunteer.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Application forms will be available after
November 15, 2002, in ALA accredited library schools, through the NASIG
Web Page, http://www.nasig.org/public/timedated/studentgrant.html
