Subject: 2nd Call for NASIG Proposals

In preparation for the NASIG 2005 Annual Conference to be held May
19-22, 
2005 at The Hilton Minneapolis and Towers in Minneapolis, MN, the
Program 
Planning Committee is issuing a second and final targeted call for 
proposals.  After reviewing the proposals we have received during the
first 
call and trying to identify elements of a comprehensive program, the 
Committee is interested in proposals that address the following topics:

Funding strategies
Off-site storage issues related to cataloging, inventory & management
Helping patrons understand the serials crisis
New licensing issues
How to write and respond to RFPs
Blogs and wikis in libraries, including whether to catalog and/or
provide 
access, how they are being used
Archiving debates: PubMED vs LOCKSS vs publisher sites 
Embargo vs open access for NIH articles
Aggregators
Effect of the aggregator-neutral record on serials cataloging practice
FRBR and continuing resources
The idea of seriality in cataloging
MARC holdings
Presentation Skills 
Profession in general (recruiting, etc.) 

The Program Planning Committee will review all submitted proposals for
their 
content, timeliness, and relevance to the conference theme and reserves
the 
right to combine, blend, or refocus proposals to maximize their
relevance and 
to avoid duplication.  In addition, the Committee will treat all
submissions 
as suggestions and guideposts.  Time management issues and reimbursement

guidelines generally limit each session to two speakers.  Also note that

proposals may be suggested as one type of session and/or format and 
ultimately be accepted as any one of the other types of sessions or
formats; 
this decision is the purview of the Program Planning Committee.
