Annual Conference will feature exciting and informative
Vision sessions

Anderson, Editor-in-chief, Scholarly Kitchen
(http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/) and a panel on current
and future
developments in library systems.

As in previous years, the program will also offer a variety
of in-depth
Strategy and practitioner-oriented Tactics sessions in the
areas of
acquisitions and licensing, cataloging and access,
collection
development, and scholarly communication. Many of this
year's programs
focus on ways to make the most of collections, tools, and
staff
resources. Topics include patron-driven selection,
sustainable scholarly
publishing, metadata interoperability, and e-resource
management, among
many others. In addition to the scheduled programming, there
will be
opportunities available throughout the conference for
informal
discussion on emerging topics of interest.

This year's preconference on Resource Description and Access
(RDA) has
nearly reached capacity. To be added to a waiting list,
contact Jennifer
Arnold at registrar@nasig.org.

We look forward to seeing you in Palm Springs!
