CALL FOR PAPERS/WORKSHOPS/DISSCUSSION 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 eighth annual conference from
June 10-13, 1993 at Brown University in Providence, RI.  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, budgeting,
union listing, 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 serials literature.

This is also a 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 informal DISCUSSION GROUP topics and
leaders to stimulate lively exchanges, particularly about links between
librarians, publishers and vendors.

Submissions from all members of NASIG and the serials community are welcome.
Topic and speaker suggestions from the information community at large are
also welcome.  TITLES AND ABSTRACTS, TO A MAXIMUM OF 100 WORDS, must be
submitted by OCTOBER 7th.  Send all submissions to:
