Second Call for Proposals
NASIG 24th Annual Conference
Riding the Rapids Through a Mountain of Change
June 4-7, 2009
Asheville, North Carolina

The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) 2009 Program 
Planning Committee (PPC) extends a second call for proposals 
and/or program ideas for pre-conference, vision, strategy, and 
tactics sessions. We welcome all proposals related to serials and 
electronic resources, and we are particularly interested in the 
following topics in order to provide a diverse conference 
program:

* Standards, their application, and the impact on content 
providers and libraries

* Licensing issues, including negotiation of terms, workflows, 
and integration with publisher, vendor, and library systems

& Changes in the cataloging environment, including RDA and other 
policy or standard decisions and the effects of changes in the 
discovery of library resources

* Serials-related issues in scholarly communication, access and 
preservation of intellectual content, such as library-managed 
journal publication and data curation

* Continuing development of ERM, including evaluations of 
effectiveness, workflow changes, and other aspects not previously 
examined at NASIG conferences

* Programs reporting the findings of descriptive or experimental 
research on serials-related topics

The Program Planning Committee will review all submitted 
proposals for their content, timeliness, and reserves the right 
to combine, blend, or refocus proposals to maximize their 
relevance and to avoid duplication.

This Call for Proposals will close on October 31, 2008. 
Presentations must be original and not previously presented at 
other conferences. The Programming Planning Committee hopes to 
notify applicants of the status of their proposals in December 
2008. Inquiries may be sent to the PPC co-chairs, Erika Ripley 
and Morag Boyd at: prog-plan@nasig.org.
