NORTH AMERICAN SERIALS INTEREST GROUP, INC. CALL FOR PAPERS CALL FOR WORKSHOPS CALL FOR DISCUSSION GROUP LEADERS The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG), an organization committed to serving the interests of all members of the serials information chain, will hold its seventh annual conference from June 18-21, 1992, at the University of Illinois at Chicago. NASIG's annual conference provides a forum in which serials librarians, publishers, vendors, educators, binders, systems developers, and other specialists exchange views, present new ideas and discuss matters of current interest. The proceedings are published and distributed to a wide audience. This is a call for PAPERS treating any aspect of serials activities such as administration, acquisitions, cataloging, automation, binding, union listing, budgeting, publishing, and future developments. Topics addressing interrelationships between the various NASIG constituencies are of special interest, as are presentations on new developments and new paradigms for the dissemination and control of the serial literature. The 1992 conference will include a one-day joint session with the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP). This represents a unique opportunity for papers on the specific topics of: the National Research and Education Network (NREN); Marketing to Libraries; University Overheads and their relationship to Libraries; Custom Publishing and Publishing on Demand; Document and Article Delivery Services -- Implications for Libraries, Vendors and Publishers. This is also the call for abstracts from individuals interested in leading a WORKSHOP at the conference. Workshops are sessions designed to develop ideas and techniques for managing any aspect of serials work. Related to workshops, NASIG is also calling for DISCUSSION GROUP topics and leaders to stimulate lively exchanges, particularly about links between librarians, publishers and vendors. Submission from all members of NASIG and the serials community are welcome. Topic and speaker suggestions from the information community at large are also welcome.
