Subject: Final call for NASIG proposals


On behalf of the NASIG Program Planning Committee:

In preparation for the NASIG 2006 Annual Conference to be held May 4-7, 
2006 at the Denver Marriott City Center, Denver Colorado, the Program 
Planning Committee is issuing a final targeted call for proposals. 
After reviewing the proposals we have received from the previous calls 
and trying to identify elements of a comprehensive program, the 
Committee is interested in proposals that address the following topics:

FRBR

Open content alliance (Yahoo's version of Google Print) and Google 
print - a comparison, a discussion of how they impact libraries

The idea of seriality in cataloging (including marc content designation 
utilization (see www.mcdu.unt.edu) - an update, how it may impact
serials 
cataloging; as well as an update from the Access Level Record Serials 
Working Group)

Personnel Management

Recruitment of Serials Librarians and staff

Binding in a digital world

Locally produced digital content and the serials librarian

Creating connections between e-resources, the catalog, and the patron: 
strategies and workflows.

Podcasts, wikis and blogs in the library and whether to catalog, and or 
provide access.

Metadata - beyond MARC

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 2 
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 and formats; this decision is the purview of the Program
Planning 
Committee.
