2004 NASIG CONFERENCE STUDENT GRANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) is currently seeking
candidates for grants to attend the Nineteenth Annual Conference to be held
at the Historic Hilton Milwaukee City Center Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June
17-20, 2004. 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 in a different city 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 are available through the NASIG Web
Page http://www.nasig.org/award/. Completed applications should be emailed
as Microsoft Word or plain text attachments to:

     Rachel L. Frick
