Publishers, vendors, librarians, and others in the fields of electronic
resources, serials, library publishing and scholarly communication 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 Forces
developed for Electronic Resources Librarians, Print Serials Management,
and Scholarly Communication Librarians. Please refer to the Core
Competencies

   - Electronic resource life cycle and management
   - Collection analysis and development
   - Standards and systems of cataloging and classification, metadata, and
   indexing
   - Licensing and legal framework
   - Standards, initiatives, and best practices

   Resources Librarians and Print Serials Management.

   - Workflow of print resources
   - Effective communication with those within and outside the library
   community

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 and must be discussed in advance with the Program Planning
   Committee ([log in to unmask] <http://mailto:[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)
