The 25th Annual North Carolina Serials Conference will be held on Monday, March 21, 2016 at The William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education in Chapel Hill.http://web.lib.ecu.edu/ncserialsconference/

 
This message is a reminder that the Conference Planning Committee is currently accepting proposals for presentations that reflect the 2016 conference theme:  NC Serials Conference at 25: The Age of Discovery. We offer our users a rich array of physical and electronic resources. How do our communities gain access? How can we help in the discovery process? What tools have we found useful for managing our collections? How do we help users navigate our resources and connect to what they want and need in their research? How have we charted our course in the turbulent waters of serials and electronic resources? What is the engine for our future? Let's share our discoveries and best practices, explore innovations on the horizon, and participate in a day when ideas are generated and connections are made. Come celebrate our 25th year!
