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!

management and may be submitted by any member of the serials profession
