Call for Ideas and Proposals for 2007
The NASIG Continuing Education Committee (CEC) needs your ideas and
proposals for the continuing education programming for 2007. The CEC
is charged to provide high quality programs that can be offered on a
regional basis to NASIG members and potential members in all parts of
North America. Our goal is to provide a range and variety of
programming to meet the needs of as many segments of the serials
community as possible.
In this ever-more digital and networked environment, we are
particularly interested in the areas of electronic resources. We are
especially interested in:
- Bibliographic control, strategies, and practices
- Collection development for digital resources
- Communication and collaboration between librarians, publishers,
content providers, subscription agents, etc.
- Emerging standards for electronic resource management
- Institutional repositories
- License negotiation skills (for librarians and content providers)
- Mapping license language for electronic resource management
- Serials acquisitions
- Serials management in public and/or special libraries
- Statistics and assessment
- Technology trends
- User-centered services, such as integration with course management
systems
In addition to these suggested topics, the committee welcomes
proposals on any issue that would be beneficial to the serials
community. Your creative ideas for program development are
