Subject: NASIG 23rd Annual Conference: Call for Papers

________________________________________
NASIG 23rd Annual Conference "Taking the Sting Out of Serials"
June 5-8, 2008
Tapatio Cliffs Hilton Resort, Phoenix, Arizona
The 2008 Program Planning Committee (PPC) invites proposals and/or 
program ideas for pre-conference, vision, strategy, and tactics 
sessions.  The Program Planners are specifically interested in 
hearing from publishers, vendors, librarians, and others about 
issues relating to scholarly communication, licensing, and publishing.
Please keep in mind the following:
•	 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.  
•	The Program Planning Committee 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 Program 
Planning Committee. 
•	 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. 

The conference will be held at Tapatio Cliffs Hilton Resort, nestled in 
between Phoenix and Scottsdale in the midst of the Sonora Desert:

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/conferences/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 August 20, 2007.
