ANNOUNCEMENT
NASIG CONFERENCE
STUDENT GRANT AWARDS

The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) is an independent
organization bringing together many segments of the serials
information chain to study and explore common interests, problems,
and ideas.  NASIG is currently seeking candidates for grants to attend
the Tenth Annual Conference to be held at Duke University, Durham,
NC, June 1-4, 1995.  Through the granting of these awards, NASIG
desires to encourage participation in this information chain by
students who are interested in some aspect of serials work upon
completion of their professional degree.

SCOPE OF AWARD:  Recipients are expected to attend the entire
conference and submit a brief written report to NASIG.  Expenses
for travel, registration, meals and lodging will be paid by NASIG.
Each recipient will also receive a year's membership in NASIG.

level in any ALA accredited library school, who do not already

award, a recipient must not be employed in a position requiring an
ALA accredited degree, nor on leave from such a position, at the time
of acceptance of the grant.  Equal consideration will be given to all
qualified applicants, with preference given to those graduating the
year of the conference.  Students do not have to be NASIG members
to apply.
