MILE HIGH VIEWS: SURVEYING THE SERIALS VISTA
May 4-7, 2006
Denver Marriott City Center
Denver, Colorado

NASIG's 21st annual conference will take place on May 4-7, 
2006 at the Denver Marriott City Center in Denver, 
Colorado. NASIG has long enjoyed a well-deserved 
reputation for outstanding conference programming-come 
and experience this for yourself in Denver!

NASIG conferences are focused on serials-related issues 
pertinent to any aspects of the serials information chain. 
Most new developments in information scenarios-such as new 
technologies, services, functions, publication formats, 
scholarly communication venues, access methods, and 
purchasing/licensing models-emerge first within the realm 
of serials. Consequently, NASIG's conference programming 
is relevant to a much broader range of interests than may 
be immediately obvious. 

As always, this year's conference presenters and attendees 
will include publishers, catalogers, serials department 
managers, vendors, reference librarians, database 
producers, acquisitions specialists, collection 
development managers, electronic resources specialists, 
serials processing staff, etc. These individuals will 
come from academic libraries, large publishing firms, 
special libraries, public libraries, small publishers, 
library consortia offices, information services 
consultancies, society publishers, serials and book vendor 
companies, government libraries, and many other types of 
organizations with interests in serials.

For the full conference program, special events, hotel 
and travel information, see the conference website at:
     https://www.nasig.org/conference/2006

Conference registration is online, only (though you may 
mail payment by check if desired), at: 

https://www.nasig.org/conference/2006/registration/index.html

TWO WAYS TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR REGISTRATION RATE!

The annual membership dues are lower than the non-member, 
full conference registration rate-so you can save money 
by joining NASIG before registering for the conference. 
Join online at:
     http://www.nasig.org/forms/membership/

You will receive your member number via e-mail within a 
couple of minutes. Once you have the number, return to 
the registration page (at the URL cited above) and use it 
to register for the conference at the member rate.

Register before Apr. 11 to avoid a $50 late fee and a 
reduced refund if you must later cancel your registration. 

SPECIAL HOTEL AND TRAVEL DISCOUNTS

Special, low hotel rates on several hundred guest rooms 
(singles, doubles, and larger) are available in the 
conference hotel. NASIG has also arranged for special 
discounts with United Airlines and Frontier Airlines 
for travel to and from the conference. 

NOTE, Mar. 20: Due to tremendous demand, the 
Marriott has run out of rooms for Tuesday and 
Wednesday nights (May 2-3). Consequently, NASIG 
has arranged for additional rooms at the same low 
rate ($105 per night) in the Comfort Inn at 401 
17th Street on these dates. This hotel is just three 
blocks from the Marriott, where the preconferences 
and conference will take place.

Details and instructions for both of these cost savings 
opportunities are available in the conference website (see 
the URL cited aboved.)
