Call for Proposals

16th Annual North Carolina Serials Conference
“Serials at Warp Speed: Navigating Transitions”
March 29-30, 2007
The William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education
Chapel Hill, NC

The 2007 North Carolina Serials Conference Program Planning Committee
invites proposals and suggestions for presentations on any aspect of the
serials industry or serials management undergoing transition (which is
just about every aspect).  The Committee welcomes participation from all
members of the serials profession including publishers, vendors, and
systems developers, in addition to faculty and library staff in all types
of libraries.  Students seeking a forum to share findings from
serials-related research are also encouraged to submit proposals.  The
Committee hopes to continue previous successes by assembling a program
that both shares and inspires creativity, collaboration, and new ways of
thinking.

Submit proposals by e-mail in a document attachment to Beth Bernhardt at
brbernha@uncg.edu.

Deadline for submission is October 20, 2006.

When submitting a proposal, please include the following information.

1.    Name(s)
2.    Mailing Address
3.    Telephone number, fax number, and email address(es)
4.    Short (50 words or less) biographical description about proposed
speakers
5.    Proposed title
6.    A 200-300 word abstract, which clearly states the proposal topic,
its relationship to serials, and its relevance for conference attendees
7.    Estimate of time required to present topic

The Program Planning Committee will review all submitted proposals for
their content, timeliness, relevance to the current serials environment,
and fit with the overall Conference content.  The Committee reserves the
right to refocus or combine proposals as needed to reach a diverse
audience and to maximize use of program time slots.
