NASIG conference proceedings are published both in paper and in digital formats. Strategy and Vision speakers are asked to submit a paper based upon their presentations, due in mid-July 2010. If there is more than one speaker for your program, you should collaborate to produce one paper that represents the entire program. The paper will be published under a non-exclusive agreement which permits self-archiving. Additional information regarding the conference proceedings will be forthcoming from the editors. NASIG Information NASIG conferences are informal, and casual and comfortable attire is the norm. The majority of the NASIG attendees are serials librarians, largely from academic institutions. However, we have many attendees from public and special libraries and from commercial organizations. NASIG focuses on serials issues and offers a venue for all members of the serials community to participate in respectful discussion. Whether you are a publisher, vendor or librarian, please do not engage in self-promotion or commercial presentations as part of conference presentations or papers contributed to the conference proceedings. For clarity of discussion, we ask that specific organizations, products, and services be named as appropriate, but please take care to frame your discussion in language that does not endorse, promote, or attack specific products, services, libraries, companies, or other organizations.
