>The 2011 Program Planning Committee (PPC) invites proposals
>for preconference, vision, strategy, and tactics sessions.
>The program planners are interested in hearing from
>publishers, vendors, librarians, and others in the field of
>serials and electronic resources about issues relating to
>scholarly communication, publishing, and resource
>acquisition, management, and discovery. Proposals related to
>ebook management, discovery services, changing roles for
>support staff, and cataloging standards and workflow are
>particularly timely. Proposals based on emerging trends,
>case studies, and descriptive and experimental research
>findings are encouraged.

>To propose a program or idea, please use the online form
>[http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NASIG2011].

>Please note the following:
>
>
>
>· The Program Planning Committee reviews all
>submitted proposals and hopes to notify applicants of the
>status of their proposals in December 2010.
>
>· The Program Planning Committee welcomes
>proposals that are still in the formative stages, and may
>work with potential presenters to focus their proposals
>further.
>
>· Proposals should name any particular products or
>services that are integral to the content of the
>presentation. However, as a matter of NASIG policy, programs
>should not be used as a venue to promote or attack any
>product, service, or institution.
>
>· Time management issues generally limit each
>session to two speakers for Tactics sessions or three
>speakers for Strategy sessions. Panels of four (4) or more
>speakers must be discussed in advance with the Program
>Planning Committee (prog-plan_at_nasig.org).
>
>· Proposals may be accepted as a different type of
>session than was originally suggested; this decision is the
>purview of the Program Planning Committee.
>
>· NASIG has a reimbursement policy for conference
>speakers whose organizations do not cover expenses.

>We look forward to seeing you in St. Louis!
