<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Hello all,</span>
<div style="font-family: ArialMT;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: ArialMT;">One of the best aspects of NASIG is our grants, scholarships, and awards. One of those is the John Merriman Joint NASIG/UKSG Award, whose application deadline has been extended in hopes that more people will consider applying.</div>
<div style="font-family: ArialMT;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: ArialMT;">We seek applicants for a joint venture to allow a NASIG member to attend the UKSG conference, and UKSG will similarly select one of their members for joining us at our conference this year. The purpose of this conference-swap
is for people working at a practical level in information resource management (e.g., serials and/or e-resources acquisitions, resource metadata and discovery, scholarly communications, collections management, digital publishing, e-resource or serials sales,
scholarly publishing, or knowledgebase management), vendor, agent, or scholarly publisher to learn and share experiences at the UKSG Annual Conference or the NASIG Annual Conference.</div>
<div style="font-family: ArialMT;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: ArialMT;">More details about the award and a link to the online application form are at <a href="https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnasig.org%2FJohn-Merriman-Award&data=05%7C01%7Csteve.oberg%40WHEATON.EDU%7Cd0757bc018b54963e41608dafa5d405b%7Cb7098c8ac6b24e8bba4c872cf5f00a20%7C0%7C0%7C638097575663276767%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=fXvm7ufqIi8E4QSEcWXS9W0%2FHkIaIHv72LfaYuJAYAQ%3D&reserved=0" originalsrc="https://nasig.org/John-Merriman-Award" shash="kf4zGQFVL7ppwKhTXtURjPhHmgq6NiKMxSMZrr06dxWi94ZGhGHY4h/5/e8b13z6eoIUOOWhANS3jUbugz5jsae6YLm0Ww2Erm3s7Dq5fGPG9WbAgwtkdTiyDL+c6xc7ZYqelCswmQCMtxG4BNYcaho5KXT20QcPkxcX3SoqIz8=">https://nasig.org/John-Merriman-Award</a>.
Keep in mind that the UKSG annual conference is scheduled for 13-15 April, so the sooner you can submit an application the better in consideration of a prompt decision plus potential travel arrangements. We look forward to receiving your application!</div>
