Committee

NASIG
Continuing Education Committee
Call for Ideas and Proposals

The NASIG Continuing Education Committee is soliciting ideas and
proposals 
for continuing education programming for 2006.

Some of the topics the Committee would love to receive proposals or
ideas 
on include:

o	serials acquisitions
o	electronic resources management
o	collection management, licensing
o	topics that appeal to NASIG members representing commercial
concerns 
(i.e., publishing, content providers, subscription agents etc.)
o	consortia programs
o	best practices
o	cyber librarians
o	negotiation skills (for librarians *and* content providers)
o	health sciences
o	public libraries

These are just suggestions; the Committee welcomes any other proposals
that 
would be beneficial to the serials community. In developing ideas for
the 
Committee to consider, think about courses you have always wanted to
attend 
or design; your creativity is most welcome!

The Committee wants to support continuing education in geographic areas,

including Canada, Mexico, and portions of the Midwest, that may not have

been adequately served in recent years. The Committee needs to begin the

planning process as early as possible to prepare the 2006 budget and to 
ensure balanced programming with regards to both topics addressed and 
geographic locations served.

In making a proposal, please include the topic of your workshop;
audience; 
location(s); speaker(s); date (month or season); duration; local 
coordinators; co-sponsors; and preliminary budget request (if formally 
proposing NASIG sponsorship). Please send your ideas to the NASIG 
Continuing Education Committee co-chair Nathan Rupp (nar25_at_cornell.edu)
by 
August 30, 2005.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. With your help the Committee
is 
looking forward to another very productive year.

Nathan Rupp (for the Continuing Education Committee)
