Publications/Public Relations Committee

Charge
The Publications Committee is charged with serving in a proactive role to encourage publication of serials-related literature, whether for publication by NASIG itself or by an outside publishing agent. The committee fulfills this role by establishing and maintaining guidelines for various aspects of the publication process, including: identification of needed publications or updated versions of publications, including solicitation and selection processes and choosing authors; content of submitted publications, such as appropriate topics and target audiences; choosing the medium or combination of media for publication; and channels for feedback and evaluation. The committee serves in a mentoring and consulting capacity rather than as the initiator or author of publications, and works in close cooperation with the Newsletter Editorial Board, the Database & Directory Committee, the Electronic Communications Committee, the Continuing Education Committee, the Conference Planning Committee, Proceedings Editors, and the Program Planning Committee.
