NASIG 31st Annual Conference
Embracing New Horizons
June 9 to 12, 2016
Albuquerque, NM

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 Competencies,

Program topics from the Core Competencies:
* 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
* Licensing and legal framework
* Standards, initiatives, and best practices
* Scholarly communication
* Life cycle of print serials
* Workflow of print resources
* Effective communication with those within and without the
library community
* Supervision and management of staff in electronic and
print serials departments
* Personal qualities of electronic and/or print serials
resources librarians

Please use the online form
http://proposalspace.com/calls/d/538 to submit a proposal or
program or idea. This Call for Proposals will close on
November 15, 2015.

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
(prog-plan at nasig.org)
* Please refer to the NASIG reimbursement policy,
http://bit.ly/YIeyYA, for reimbursement of speaker expenses.
* All session speakers must complete a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU), http://bit.ly/1wtCjkb,  prior to
speaking at the conference.

We look forward to a great conference in Albuquerque
