2004 NASIG CONFERENCE STUDENT GRANT ANNOUNCEMENT
The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) is currently
seeking candidates for grants to attend the Nineteenth Annual
Conference to be held at the Historic Hilton Milwaukee City Center
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June 17-20, 2004. Established in 1985, NASIG is
an independent organization that promotes communication and sharing of
ideas among all members of the serials information chain - anyone
working with or concerned about serials. For more information about
NASIG, please see the NASIG web page at
http://www.nasig.org.
Through the granting of these awards, NASIG desires to encourage
participation in this information chain by students who are interested
in pursuing some aspect of serials work upon completion of their
professional degrees. Each year the annual conference is held in a
different city where the various segments of the serials community
(including publishers, vendors, and librarians) meet in an informal
setting to network and share information. The conference includes the
presentation of papers, panels, workshops, tours, and social events.
SCOPE OF AWARD: Recipients are expected to attend the entire
conference and submit a brief written report to NASIG, which will be
excerpted for publication in the NASIG Newsletter. Expenses for travel,
registration, meals, and lodging will be paid by NASIG. Each recipient
will also receive a year's membership in NASIG.
ELIGIBILITY: Students who are currently enrolled at the graduate
level in a library school ALA-accredited now and/or at the time of
enrollment, who do not already have an ALA accredited degree, and who
have expressed an interest in some aspect of serials work, are
eligible. Applicants must be full- or part-time students at the time of
application. In order to accept an award, a recipient must not be
employed in a position requiring an ALA accredited degree, or on leave
from such a position, at the time of acceptance of the grant. Equal
consideration will be given to all qualified applicants, with
preference given to those earning their degrees the year of the
conference. Students do not have to be NASIG members to apply, and they
must not have earned their degrees earlier than the end of the school
year prior to the NASIG conference. Applicants must not have attended a
previous NASIG conference, but may have participated in a NASIG
conference as a local volunteer.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Application forms are available through the
NASIG Web Page
