Call for Proposals and Program Ideas

NASIG 
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 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, the 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. These sessions are 90 minutes; please allow
10 
minutes for questions from the audience.

Tactics Sessions are designed to address day-to-day issues and generally
deal 
with one or two practical aspects of the serials world. These sessions
are 60 
minutes; please allow 10 minutes for questions from the audience.  

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_at_nasig.org.
