Second Call for Papers: North American Serial Interest Group 23rd Annual 
Conference
“Taking the Sting Out of Serials” Date: June 5-8, 2008

Location: Tapatio Cliffs Hilton Resort, Phoenix, Arizona

The 2008 NASIG Annual Conference will be held June 5-8, 2008, at Tapatio 
Cliffs Hilton
Resort, Phoenix, Arizona. The conference program will feature ideas and 
issues that relate
to electronic resources, scholarly communication, serials, and 
publishing. Conference
presenters will include publishers, librarians, subscription agents, and 
library systems vendors.

In order to prepare a comprehensive program, the Program Planning 
Committee is issuing
a second and final call for program proposals. PPC welcomes submissions 
related to the
following topics:
* Vendor/library relationships -- vendor responses to customers' suggestions
* E-resources -- licensing and perpetual access, e-books, print on 
demand, ERMS
* Collection management -- serials preservation 
(binding/reformatting/offsite storage)
* Digital collections -- institutional repositories, digital 
preservation, metadata outside the library
* Cataloging -- rda and serials cataloging, MARC local holdings, 
government publications issues
(batchloading, minimal records)
* Technology -- federated searching, OPACs – display issues and 
alternatives from the traditional
systems, information seeking behaviors in electronic environments, 
practical applications for
current and emerging technology
* Needs and practices of non-academic libraries
* Personnel management -- supervision, workflow, training and retraining 
in libraries
* Serials and e-resources in the reference department
* Career development in serials

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 two 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 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.
ALL presentations must be original and not previously presented at other 
conferences.
