NASIG Continuing Education Committee
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 encouraged.

Please include the following information with all proposals:

1. Topic of the program
2. Description of the program.  What are the objectives?
3. Intended audience; who will benefit from this program?
4. Location(s) of the program (physical or virtual)

9. Local coordinator(s) of the program
10. Co-sponsors, if any
