In preparation for the NASIG 2005 Annual Conference to be held May 19-22, 2005at The Hilton Minneapolis and Towers in Minneapolis, MN, the Program Planning Committee is issuing a second and final targeted call for proposals. After reviewing the proposals we have received during the first call and trying to identify elements of a comprehensive program, the Committee is interested in proposals that address the following topics:
Funding strategies
Off-site storage issues related to cataloging, inventory & management
Helping patrons understand the serials crisis
New licensing issues
How to write and respond to RFPs
Blogs and wikis in libraries, including whether to catalog and/or provide access, how they are being used
Archiving debates: PubMED vs LOCKSS vs publisher sites
Embargo vs open access for NIH articles
Aggregators
Effect of the aggregator-neutral record on serials cataloging practice
FRBR and continuing resources
The idea of seriality in cataloging
MARC holdings
Presentation Skills
Profession in general (recruiting, etc.)
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.
