The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) is having its annual
conference in Williamsburg, Virginia, at the College of William & Mary
from 20-23 June this year.  This conference offers an excellent
opportunity to learn about the latest developments in serials,
cataloging, collection development, acquisitions, and other areas
related to information delivery and scholarly communication that affect
serials professionals.  For more information about the conference, you
can check out http://www.nasig.org/wm.

Please take special note of our preconferences this year on Thursday
morning, June 20. The preconference on "Everything You always Wanted To
Know About Electronic Journals But Were Afraid to Ask," is a great
opportunity for those new to the profession to learn the nuts and bolts
of dealing with electronic journals.  There is also a preconference on
"Implementing MARC21 for Holdings : A Usable Revolution.," which will
help participants understand and use the MARC Holdings Format for
Serials.  If you are unable to attend the entire conference, you may
register just for a preconference. (click on programs/schedules and also

NASIG members are encouraged to register early since the preconference
and conference registrations will open to everyone after April 12
(today).
