Conference will be held on Monday, March 21, 2016 at The William and
Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education in Chapel Hill.

The Conference Planning Committee is currently accepting proposals for
presentations that reflect the 2016 conference theme:  NC Serials
Conference at 25: The Age of Discovery. We offer our users a rich
array of physical and electronic resources. How do our communities
gain access? How can we help in the discovery process? What tools have
we found useful for managing our collections? How do we help users
navigate our resources and connect to what they want and need in their
research? How have we charted our course in the turbulent waters of
serials and electronic resources? What is the engine for our future?
Let's share our discoveries and best practices, explore innovations on
the horizon, and participate in a day when ideas are generated and
connections are made. Come celebrate our 25th year!

Proposals may address any aspect of the serials industry or serials
management and may be submitted by any member of the serials
profession including publishers, vendors, librarians, staff, and
