Subject: Call for User Group and Discussion Group Conveners

Thanks for all your suggestions for the User Groups and Informal 
Discussion Group topics for the NASIG 2007 annual conference in 
Louisville. We will be announcing the topics shortly.

We are still looking for a few more volunteers to convene Informal 
Discussion Groups and User Groups. 
 
The purpose of Informal Discussion Groups (formerly known as Networking 
Nodes) is to promote discussion among NASIG attendees who have a shared
interest in a topic, idea, workflow, problem, etc.  The emphasis of 
these sessions is open discussion and the generation of new ideas.  
Informal Discussion Groups will take place over lunch on Saturday, June
2nd. We are looking for volunteers to lead discussions on a host of 
topics that are of interest to you! Want to hold an informal Electronic
Resources librarian roundtable? This is the place! Interested in the 
future of serials binderies in an increasingly electronic world? Do you
want to get a group together and talk about social software? Got any 
tips and tricks for streamlining e-journal workflow? Volunteer to 
facilitate a group!

In addition to informal discussion groups, there will be sessions 
dedicated to user groups of a specific product or service.  The purpose 
of these sessions is to share product implementation or development 
experiences and ideas. User Group attendees will have an opportunity to
discuss topics of common interest in a non-commercial setting.  This 
year, user groups will have two distinct sessions.   The first session,
on Friday, June 1st, from 3:15-4:15 PM, will focus on ERM products and 
services.  On Saturday, June 2nd, from 4-5 PM, the sessions will involve
other technologies and services used by serialists.  Are you using an 
ERM product? Are you planning to implement a specific product? Volunteer
to lead a discussion group and learn from your peers.

Please contact Bonnie Parks (bonster_at_mit.edu) by May 4 if you are 
willing to lead or co-lead a group.
