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.
