Serials Spoken Here Call for Contributions - Fall 2026

Dear Colleagues:


The “Serials Spoken Here” column in Serials Review is actively seeking
contributors to submit conference reports for upcoming conference sessions
about serials. This is a suggested starting point but not an exhaustive
list of conference opportunities:



   -

   Coverage of any session welcome from: NASIG Autumn and the Charleston
   Conference.
   -

   Coverage of sessions pertaining to the broad topic of serials are
   welcome from: NISO Plus 2026 Global/Online, IFLA, WOLFCon, Publication
   Integrity Week, OASPA Annual, CORE Forum, ASIS&T, or any local or regional
   conference session focusing on serials, including local user groups (e.g.
   local ELUNA UGs).


If you have questions about the relevance of a conference or session,
please reach out to the editors.


Conference reports are 750 words or less.


We welcome poster session recaps, as well. To complete a poster session
recap, please focus on one poster per session that is germane to the very
broad topic of “serials.” Please review the text of the poster as well as
engage with the presenter about this topic, however that looks for you
(in-person discussion, email conversation, reviewing any material linked
from the poster, etc.).


Writing for “Serials Spoken Here” is an excellent way to inform colleagues
who were unable to attend conferences, as well as complete a publication
goal that could count towards tenure and promotion or continuing
appointment. After submission it can take up to six months for your recap
to be published in Serials Review.


When you submit your conference report, please add your ORCID iD (

If you do not have an ORCID iD, please seriously consider creating one.
