>12TH ANNUAL NASIG CONFERENCE (May 29-June 1, 1997)
> CALL FOR PAPERS, WORKSHOPS, AND PRECONFERENCES
>
>"Experimentation and Collaboration: Creating Serials for a New
>Millennium"
>
>The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG), an organization
>that serves the interests of U.S., Canadian and Mexican members of the
>serials information chain, will hold its 12th Annual Conference on the
>campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, a center of
>technological and intellectual experimentation and development.
>NASIG's annual conference provides a forum in which librarians,
>publishers, vendors, educators, binders, systems developers, and other
>serials specialists exchange views, present new ideas, proactively
>seek solutions to common problems, and discuss matters of current
>interest. The proceedings are published in The Serials Librarian and
>in electronic format on the NASIG web site.
>
>NASIG's Program Planning Committee invites proposals for plenary
>papers and preconferences that deal with "big picture" aspects of the
>theme. We are especially interested in papers or preconference ideas
>that will examine the experiments and collaborations which will shape
>serials and communication in the next millennium. Examples:
> -coping with the "digital shift"
> -cataloging and organizing evolving forms of information
> -innovative partnerships for information management
> -the blurring of librarian/vendor/publisher roles
> -new technologies and their effects on the flow of information
> -ensuring the security of digital information
> -issues in government publishing
> -licensing of information
>
>The Committee also invites workshop and preconference proposals that
>will provide practical ideas and assistance in preparing for and
>adjusting to change as the new millennium approaches. Workshop
>leaders share their experience in a collegial setting and facilitate
>related discussion with those in attendance. Examples:
> -new technologies/services/software packages/standards
> -managing in times of change
> -meeting the challenges of archiving digital information
> -experiments and innovations in technical processing, public service,
> and administration
> -underground/alternative press publications
> -charging for and paying for electronic publications
> -new models for the business of serials
>
>NASIG invites anyone in the information community to submit proposals
>and suggest topics/speakers. The Program Planning Committee reserves
>the right to combine, blend, or refocus proposals to maximize program
>breadth and relevance to our membership. As a result, only one
>presenter from proposals submitted by teams may be invited to
>participate. Since proposals are reviewed competitively, please
>include complete information for maximum consideration:
> * name, address, telephone/fax numbers, and e-address of
> the proposer(s)
> * program title
> * a 200-300 word abstract clearly explaining the proposal and, if
> appropriate, its relevance to the theme
> * a prioritized preference for the proposal: plenary, workshop or
> preconference
>
>Proposals should be submitted, via e-mail if possible, no later than
>August 1, 1996 to Connie Foster, NASIG Secretary to receive
>consideration. Send proposals to Connie Foster, Serials Supervisor,
>Helm-Cravens Library 306, One Big Red Way, Western Kentucky
>University, Bowling Green, KY 42101; e-mail: rfosterc@wkyuvm.wkuy.edu
