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

●      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

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])

<http://www.nasig.org/site_page.cfm?pk_association_webpage_menu=308&pk_association_webpage=1358>

reimbursement of speaker expenses.

●     All session speakers must complete a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
