2004 NASIG HORIZON AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT
The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) is currently seeking
candidates for grants to attend the Eighteenth Annual Conference to be held
at The Historic Hilton Milwaukee City Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June
17th - 20th, 2004. NASIG is an international organization committed to
promoting communication and sharing of ideas among all people working
with or concerned about serial publications. More information about the
organization is available at the NASIG Web Page <http://www.nasig.org>.
DESCRIPTION OF AWARD: The purpose of the NASIG Horizon Award is to advance
the serials profession by providing promising new serialists with the
opportunity to accelerate their knowledge and understanding of serials by
networking and interacting with a wide range of dedicated professionals
working in all segments of the serials information chain. The award
provides the recipient with a firsthand introduction to NASIG by
sponsoring attendance at the NASIG annual conference. NASIG will pay for
all conference registration, housing, and travel costs. In addition, to
encourage active participation in NASIG, the recipient will receive a
year's free membership in NASIG and will be invited to serve on a NASIG
committee the year following the award. One award will be given in
2004.

nature with primary responsibilities for some aspect of serials, e.g.

conferences, but may have participated in a NASIG conference as a local
volunteer. Applicants do not have to be a member of NASIG. Preference
will be given to applicants employed by a North American organization or
institution (to facilitate participation in NASIG) and to those whose
career goals include professional growth and development in serials.
