Session Types

  • Pre-conferences are in-depth programs that focus on practical aspects of our work and skills we need on a daily basis. In general, these programs are several hours in duration, have limited attendance, and may include hands-on training.
  • Vision Sessions are offered at no-conflict times to allow all conference attendees to participate. These programs generally deal with the larger universe of ideas and issues that may influence the serials world.
  • Strategy Sessions generally deal with all or, at least, several segments of the serials world including, but not limited to publishers, vendors, service providers, and librarians.
  • Tactics Sessions are designed to address day-to-day issues and generally deal with one or two practical aspects of the serials world.
  • Poster sessions provide an opportunity to share innovative ideas and new applications of technology.
  • User groups focus on a specific product or service and share product implementation or development experiences and ideas. User Group attendees will have an opportunity to discuss topics of common interest in a non-commercial setting.
  • Informal Discussion Groups promote discussion among NASIG attendees who have a shared interest in a topic, idea, workflow or problem. The emphasis of these sessions is open discussion and the generation of new ideas.
