NASIG AWARD ANNOUNCEMENTS
1999 NASIG STUDENT GRANT ANNOUNCEMENT
The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) is currently seeking
candidates for grants to attend the Fourteenth Annual Conference to be
held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA June 10-13, 1999.
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://nasig.ils.unc.edu/.
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 June the annual conference is held on a different
college or university campus, 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.
GUIDELINES
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 any ALA accredited library school, 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, nor
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.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Application forms will be available after
November 15, 1998, in ALA accredited library schools, through the NASIG Web
