CALL FOR PROPOSALS AND PROGRAM IDEAS

North American Serials Interest Group 
21st Annual Conference 
"Mile High Views:  Surveying the Serials Vista" 
May 4-7, 2006 
The Denver Marriott City Center 
Denver, CO

The President of the North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) will
open 
the first session of the 21st annual conference on May 4, 2006 in
Denver, 
Colorado.  The Rocky Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to a bustling

metropolitan area that enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year.  Denver has a

lively downtown area as the city is overflowing with colleges, parks, 
museums, sporting events and more.  Denver attracted people to its
frontier 
atmosphere, starting off as a rowdy frontier and mining town.  Today it 
still attracts individuals of the same spirit and they have helped it
grow 
into a modern and sophisticated city.  Denver's magnetism will be the 
perfect environment as we survey the serials vista.

To this end, NASIG's 2006 Program Planning Committee (PPC) invites 
proposals and/or program ideas for pre-conference, vision, strategy and 
tactics sessions.  Please keep in mind the following:

   * The PPC 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.
   * PPC will treat all submissions as suggestions and 
     guideposts.
   * Time management issues and reimbursement guidelines 
     generally limit each session to two speakers.
   * 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 PPC.
   * Vision and Strategy speakers are required to produce 
     a written paper for the conference proceedings. 
     Because NASIG publishes its conference proceedings, 
     content needs to be unique for copyright purposes.
   * ALL presentations must be original and not 
     previously presented at other conferences.

For more information about the North American Serials Interest Group, 
please see: http://www.nasig.org.

NASIG has a reimbursement policy for conference speakers whose 
organizations do not cover expenses.  For more information about this 
policy, please see:
http://www.nasig.org/public/reimbursement_policy.htm.

Sessions Types:

PRE-CONFERENCES are in-depth programs that focus on practical aspects of

the work and skills we perform on a daily basis.  In general, these 
programs are several hours in duration, have limited attendance, and may

include hands-on training.

VISION SESSIONS are offered at no-conflict times to allow all conference

attendees to participate.  These programs generally deal with the larger

universe of ideas and issues that may influence the serials world. 

STRATEGY SESSIONS generally deal with all or, at least, several segments

of the serials world including, but not limited to publishers, vendors, 
service providers, and librarians. 

TACTICS SESSIONS are designed to address day-to-day issues and generally

deal with one or two practical aspects of the serials world. 

To suggest a proposal or an idea, please fill out the submission form 
available at: http://www.nasig.org/public/forms/idea.htm.  The deadline 
for this call for proposals and ideas is September 1, 2005.

Inquiries may be sent to the PPC co-chairs, Rachel Frick, June Garner, 
or Tonia Graves at: prog-plan-l_at_nasig.org.
