The 1995 Tenth Anniversary NASIG (North American Serials Interest Group)
Conference will be held at Duke University in Durham NC from June 1-4.
The registration deadline is May 10 -- nine days from now. I am attaching
a brief schedule of events. If you would like either a registration form
or more information about the program, please let me know directly, not
through serialst.
I've heard rumors today of an airline fare war, but I can't confirm that.
Check with your travel agency for the good news.

======================================
The theme of this year's conference is "Serials to the Tenth Power." We
believe you will enjoy the programs as well as special activities and
souvenirs celebrating this anniversary conference. When you receive your
conference booklet, please complete the Registration Request form
carefully and return it to the appropriate address as soon as possible.
Registration is open to NASIG members only until April 1, 1995; after that
date we will also accept registration from non-members.
Conference registration fees this year are $255 for double accommodation,
$300 for single accommodation, and $230 for commuters.
Duke Campus and its Facilities
Duke University, known internationally for its academic excellence and
beautiful campus, provides the perfect backdrop for the NASIG Conference.
Duke is located in the city of Durham, the northern point of North Caroli-
na's tri-city metropolitan area known as the "Research Triangle." Durham,
famous as the "City of Medicine," is also home to North Carolina Central
University. Nearby cities include Chapel Hill, where the University of
North Carolina is located, and Raleigh, the state capital and site of North
Carolina State University.
Situated in the heart of the Piedmont region, the Triangle enjoys a moder-
ate climate, with the Appalachian highlands and the Atlantic coast each
only a few hours away. The Research Triangle Park, a 6,550 acre interna-
tionally known complex of high-tech research and industrial facilities,
links the cities and universities of the area. The presence of older cul-
tural and agricultural institutions combined with the excellence in health
care, education, and industry make the Triangle one of the most exciting
areas of growth and development in the country, as noted recently in Money
and Fortune magazines.
The hub of NASIG activities will be the Bryan University Center, a modern
facility including auditoriums, theatres, conference rooms, the Duke Uni-
versity Store, and informal dining and conversation areas. The Rathskel-
ler, on the lower level of the Bryan Center, will be open each evening for
late-night indoor or outdoor socializing.
Accommodation
Air-conditioned sleeping rooms have been reserved in Few Quadrangle, one
of the gothic-style living areas in the center of campus, and Edens
Quadrangle, downhill from Few and more modern in appearance. Rooms are
equipped with beds and linen (including wash cloths), desk, chest of
drawers, bookcase, closet or wardrobe, and ceiling light. Baths are shared
and in most cases open off the halls. Both doubles and singles are
available, but there are many more doubles than singles, and we encourage
you to share. One or more floors will be reserved for couples. Laundry
facilities are close by. Vending machines and telephones for local,
collect, or credit card calls are located in each dorm. Please note that
Duke University policy prohibits children in dormitories.
Check-in time is noon and check-out time is 11:00 a.m. Luggage storage is
available. Extra nights, either before or after the conference, are
available at the single room rate, $35.40 a night.
Several hotels are in the general vicinity of the Duke West Campus, and
blocks of rooms have been reserved for NASIG attendees. Those staying in
one of the hotels should make their own reservations.

The Hilton is a few miles from Duke and has a courtesy van to and from the
campus. The Brownstone and Washington Duke are a long daylight walk from
our part of the campus; walking at night is not recommended. Although the
Hilton has a van service to campus, we strongly suggest that you consider
hotel accommodations only if you have your own transportation.

Conference Dining
Conference registrants will use their name tag for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner "all you can eat" meal privileges. The name tag must be shown at all
conference-sponsored meals. Breakfasts will be served in the Blue and White
Room, an 800-seat cafeteria dining area located in the West Union Building.
A wide variety of breakfast choices is featured. Lunch on Friday and Satur-
day will also be served in the Blue and White Room. Lunch menus typically
include sandwiches, hot entrees, salad bar, and several dessert choices. In
keeping with NASIG tradition, box lunches will be provided on Sunday for
all conference registrants to ensure timely attendance at post-conference
tours or post-conference discussion group meetings.
Dinner on Thursday will consist of a reception with heavy hors d'oeuvres
(wine and non-alcoholic beverages provided), followed by a birthday cake-
and-champagne celebration of NASIG's 10th anniversary. (See separate
description of anniversary events for more detail.)
Dinner on Friday, which is the "free evening," will be available at the
Blue and White Room, or registrants may opt to dine off-campus at their own
expense at one of the area's fine restaurants. A list of restaurants will
be in conference packets.
Saturday's informal pig pickin' at Cameron Indoor Stadium will showcase
regional specialties -- pork barbeque, fried chicken, and brunswick stew
-- with all the trimmings. Beer and non-alcoholic beverages will be
provided. Following the meal we have planned a presentation by Carolina
Heartland Cloggers, leading to a square dance for all with Banjo in the
Hollow band and a local caller. There will be a cash bar during the
evening.
In addition to the conference-sponsored meals, the Bryan Center offers a
number of other food and beverage outlets, and dorms are equipped with
vending machines.
Clothing and Weather
Early June weather in Durham can be warm or cool, wet or dry. Most likely
it will be sunny with daytime highs in the 70s, but it's best to be pre-
pared for showers and cooler weather. In keeping with NASIG tradition,
casual clothing and comfortable shoes remain the recommended attire.
Recreation Facilities and Fun Run/Walk
Duke's excellent recreational facilities will be available to NASIG confer-
ence goers. They include tennis, squash, and racquetball courts, weight
room, outdoor running track, sauna, aquatic center, and the Duke golf
course (fee charged for golf). Numerous jogging and nature trails run
through Duke Forest. In addition, the Sarah P. Duke Gardens are located on
campus and are open from 8:00 a.m. until sundown. Brochures, maps and
schedules for these campus facilities will be available at the conference
registration area.
The Fun Run/Walk is scheduled for 6:30 - 7:30 am on Saturday and will be
held on the Duke jogging trail which encircles the Duke golf course.
Preconference: "Gophers and Webs: A Cyber Safari"
In conjunction with the 10th annual NASIG Conference, the Electronic Com-
munications Committee takes you on a safari in cyberspace. Preconference
attendees will explore the pros and cons of the two basic navigational
tools of the Internet: Gopher and World Wide Web. The keynote speaker,
Richard W. Wiggins, will discuss each tool from the perspective of user
friendliness, access to resources, maintenance, and other issues. This
presentation will be followed by two breakout sessions, covering each of
the tools in depth. The breakout sessions will be repeated so that all
attendees may participate in both sessions. A cost recovery fee of $30
will be charged. Registration is limited to 200 persons.
Friday Night Optional Activities
NASIG has two planned offerings for Friday night -- or, registrants may
make their own plans. Duke buses will transport conference goers to either
a Durham Bulls baseball game or nearby Chapel Hill, home of the University
of North Carolina. Please indicate your choice on the registration form.
The world famous Durham Bulls are playing a home game on Friday night, and
everyone who is a baseball fan (or just plain likes a good time!) will want
to attend. NASIG will reserve a block of seats and arrange transportation
to the ballpark. The Bulls are great fun, and this will be their first
season in a new ballpark (no, not the movie ballpark, but an olde-tyme
one like the Orioles Park at Camden Yards). Reserve your seat at the
ballpark on the registration form. Play Ball! Cost is $10.00 per person for
ticket and transportation.
"Evening in Chapel Hill" will include a number of interesting choices, some
of which are being specially arranged for NASIG. These include a show at
the University of North Carolina's Morehead Planetarium (8:30 pm); a "tech-
nogeek peek" at the latest in library education -- the new, state-of-the-
art computer lab at UNC's School of Information and Library Science; and
the wonderfully renovated Wilson Library, center of UNC's renowned special
collections. Any of these options may be covered during the early evening,
with plenty of time to stroll through the spacious tree-lined campus or
soak up the atmosphere of Franklin Street, the social center of the "South-
ern Part of Heaven." Explore funky boutiques, diverse restaurant choices,
book stores, hangouts and watering holes, or music clubs. Specific informa-
tion on who is playing at which club will be available at the registration
desk. Cost is $5.00 for transportation. Persons attending the Planetarium
show will pay $3.50 at the entrance.
There are numerous other options people may wish to explore on their own --
Durham's Ninth Street neighborhood, full of interesting shops and bistros;
Brightleaf Square, a tobacco warehouse turned shopping mall; as well as
other cultural activities that will be happening in the area. Groups inter-
ested in forming their own entertainment plans may also use this time slot.
Library Tours and Exhibits
Between 2:00 and 4:00 pm on Thursday, June 1, librarians at Duke's Perkins
Library and its Medical Library will be available to lead tours of their
facilities.
Sunday Tours
- Capital City Sampler: Historic Raleigh. See the historic heart of
North Carolina's capital city. Stops include Mordecai Historic Park, the
State Capitol Building, North Carolina Museum of History, and the Executive
Mansion, home to the state's Governor. Minumum 25 persons. Price: $25.00.
- Research Triangle Park Special Libraries. A tour of select compa-
nies doing some of today's most cutting-edge research! Includes Glaxo Phar-
maceutical, the North Carolina Microelectronics Center, Burroughs-Wellcome
Co., and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Minumum
10 persons. Cost: $10.00 transportation.
- Durham History Tour. Includes Duke Homestead and Tobacco Museum,
Bennett Place (Civil War Site), and the North Carolina Museum of Life and
Science. Minumum 20 persons. Cost: $20.00.
All tours will begin at 1:00 pm and will end by 6:00 pm. Conference goers
with evening flights may take either the Raleigh or Research Triangle tour
and be dropped off at the airport before 6:00. Luggage may be left on the
buses; the driver stays with the bus.
Conference Phone Numbers
The NASIG office will be open during the day for emergency calls. That
telephone number and the after-hours number will be included with your
registration confirmation.
Day Care Arrangements
NASIG is unable to provide day care, but we plan to have a list of names
and phone numbers to send upon request. Please note that Duke University
policy prohibits children in dormitories. Direct your inquiries to Elaine
Teague at eteague@bwco.com or phone 919 315-4262. NASIG is not
responsible for the service provided.
