23rd Annual Conference “Taking the Sting Out of Serials”

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.
