NASIG 32nd Annual Conference

Racing to the Crossroads
June 8 to 11, 2017
Indianapolis, IN

Publishers, vendors, librarians, and others in the fields of
electronic resources and serials are encouraged to submit proposals
relating to scholarly communication, publishing, resource acquisition,
management, and discovery. Proposals based on emerging trends, case
studies, and descriptive and experimental research findings are
encouraged.  Proposals reflecting the conference theme will be
especially valued.

As we have in recent years, the PPC specifically welcomes programs
focusing on the Core Competencies that the NASIG Core Competency Task
Force developed for Electronic Resources Librarians. Please refer to
the Core Competencies.

Program topics inspired by the Core Competencies include:

●      Electronic resource life cycle and management

●      Collection analysis and development

●      Standards and systems of cataloging and classification,
metadata, and indexing

●      Technology and providing access to electronic resources

●      Licensing and legal framework

●      Standards, initiatives, and best practices

●      Scholarly communication

●      Life cycle of print serials

●      Workflow of print resources

●      Effective communication with those within and without the
library community

●      Supervision and management of staff in electronic and print
serials departments

●      Personal qualities of electronic and/or print serials resources
librarians

●      Management of projects related to electronic and/or print resources

Please use the online form to submit a proposal or program or idea.
This Call for Proposals will close on December 13, 2016.

Please note the following:

●     The PPC 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 one to
three speakers for conference sessions. Panels of four (4) or more
speakers are discouraged must be discussed in advance with the Program
Planning Committee ([log in to unmask])

●     Please refer to the NASIG reimbursement policy for reimbursement
of speaker expenses.

●     All session speakers must complete a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) prior to speaking at the conference.

●     NASIG may provide online live streaming of presentation
sessions, and all speakers will be required to give NASIG the right to
stream this content.
