Established in 1985, the North American Serials Interest Group, Inc. (NASIG) is an independent organization that promotes communication, information, and continuing education about serials and the broader issues of scholarly communication. NASIG welcomes anyone interested in the serials information chain. Inspired by the United Kingdom Serials Group (UKSG), NASIG held its first conference at Bryn Mawr College in June 1986. The annual conference, usually held in late May or June, offers a premier opportunity to meet others representing the diverse interests of the serials community and to hear speakers who are on the cutting edge of scholarly communication.

Founded on strong professional friendships, NASIG constituents work diligently to maintain that personal spirit, exchange of ideas, and unity of purpose on a volunteer basis. Members include a dynamic group of librarians, publishers, vendors, educators, database producers, library systems representatives and many others involved in the creation, production, delivery, management, and access of serial information, the scholarly communication process, and emerging technologies.

The annual conference provides a casual venue for preconferences, formal sessions, practical workshops, special events, and networking. An emphasis on thoughtful discourse and informality promotes an intensity of purpose not always possible at other conferences.

Free!

Join Library Journal in Phoenix, AZ, for our tenth free Design Institute on November 11, 2011, cohosted in partnership with Phoenix, Maricopa County, and Scottsdale Public Libraries. This one-day educational seminar on library building and design will bring together leading architects, librarians, and vendors to address the challenges and opportunities we face in building anew, renovating, or upgrading existing buildings as we respond to changing user needs. We will envision the 21st century library and discuss how integrated building design can help make it happen. And we will explore creating interactive learning spaces for young children; tech-laden spaces for teens to help build their skills and create digital artifacts—from songs to videos to photography to blogs; and space to support adult group work, media presentations, publishing, and more.

The Design Institute gives participants the opportunity to network with vendors and colleagues as well as take part in two architect-led breakout sessions that deal with real-life design challenges submitted in advance by attendees. Beyond that, our cohosts will be offering a tour of local libraries on November 10, preceding the Design Institute. Several of these libraries have been designated New Landmark Libraries by LJ.

Nearly all attendees (91%) rated the previous Design Institute to be a very valuable/valuable seminar. The day is filled with thought-provoking and inspiring information on the future of library design and will open the door to a world of possibilities for your library and community. Space is limited to 100 attendees so sign up today!

Library Journal and School Library Journal present our second virtual summit on ebooks and their role in the future of libraries. Ebooks: The New Normal will bring together librarians, vendors and publishers, and industry experts and offers keynote presentations as well as three tracks designed for public, academic, and K-12 libraries to discuss how libraries are leveraging the ebook opportunity to improve service and reach more users than ever before.

Public librarians will share successful ebook initiatives and discuss how ebooks will transform public libraries. Academic librarians will present how they are mastering the transition, from patron driven acquisition to discovery to faculty adoption, while school librarians will be presented with working ebook models on the building, district, regional and state levels. There will be time for discussion and networking, and open time for attendees to visit the exhibits and attend vendor webcasts.

This year’s keynote will be delivered by author M.T. Anderson, author of The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol. 1: The Pox Party, winner of the National Book Award as well as the dystopian novel, Feed, which was a National Book Award Finalist, a Boston Globe–Horn Book winner, and an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. The day will close with a Pecha Kucha event, where eight participants will each give a seven minute presentation, featuring authors and thought leaders including Lawrence Block, Dr. Sai Gaddam, and Dr. Ogi Ogas.

WHAT WILL YOU EXPERIENCE?

- Forward-thinking keynote, talks and panel discussions
- Presentations focusing on current best practices for library ebook collections
- Evolving ‘models’ for digital book and media content discovery and delivery
- Discussion on how the digital shift will require new service models
- Relevant research on ebook penetration and adoption by libraries and millions of library users
- Vendor booths, live chats, vendor presentations, informative take aways, and prizes
- An after-summit Pecha Kucha* event featuring noted authors and publishers
- Unlimited access to the archived content for 3 months

*Eight participants will each give a seven minute Power Point presentation consisting of 20 images with 21 seconds per image.

Ebooks: The New Normal offers participants a chance to ask questions and discuss practical topics as well like:
- building an ebook collection
- budgeting for ebooks
- negotiating with vendors
- marketing to library users
- training staff and faculty
- how to facilitate ebook discovery …and much more

Our Virtual Summit forum provides a cost effective way to attend an industry leading conference on ebooks in libraries without the expensive and time consuming travel. The Virtual Conference Center, much like a physical convention hall, features an Auditorium with continuous programming and an Exhibit Hall where vendors and publishers showcase their latest products and offerings. Our Networking Center provides participants a place to “live chat” with peers, panelists and vendors, and in the Resource Center, attendees can easily collect and save materials for future reference, which means no lines at the shipping center!

New structures, tools, and services for scholarly publishing require new discussion venues and the development of new communities to nurture these discussions. THATCamp Publishing represents just such an experiment in community development. By creating a meeting place that brings together colleagues from libraries, publishing, museums, archives, and digital humanities centers, we hope to stimulate blue-sky thinking and pragmatic skill sharing in support of new forms of scholarly communication. To this end, the unconference is open to publishers, librarians, faculty and student scholars, archivists, museum professionals, interested amateurs, technologists, administrators, and funders from the nonprofit and for-profit sectors — any and all who want to advance scholarly publishing in and for a digital age.

While we strongly encourage everyone to speak (if time permits) we do not require this for attendance. We will also scroll a Twitter feed where conference participants can post their thoughts, observations, praise, criticism, etc... So bring your laptops, your tablets, or your smart phones and prepare for a high-energy day!

Life and Literature

Biodiversity Heritage Library Hosts Conference on Digitization

The Biodiversity Heritage Library will host a two-day conference titled “Life and Literature” Nov. 14 and 15 at the Field Museum in Chicago. The conference will unite librarians, biologists, computer scientists, publishers and students to set the agenda for biodiversity literature digitizing and its networked environment for the next five years.

“Life and Literature” seeks to engage current and future constituencies concerned with biodiversity literature. Sessions will discuss the interoperability of major biodiversity and digital library programs, continued integration of digitized literature within biodiversity databases and publishing models for legacy scientific literature.

Guest lecturers include Richard Pyle and George Dyson. Pyle, a zoologist at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, is an expert of the taxonomy and biogeography of coral-reef fishes. He has written more than 100 scientific articles and has been featured in several documentary films. Dyson is a scientific historian of technology whose interests include the development of the Aleut kayak (Baidarka, 1986), the evolution of digital computing and telecommunications (Darwin Among the Machines, 1997) and the exploration of space (Project Orion, 2002).

Headquartered at the Smithsonian Institution Libraries, the Biodiversity Heritage Library is the literature digitization component of the Encyclopedia of Life, a global effort to document all 1.8 million named species of animals, plants and other forms of life on Earth. BHL is a consortium of 12 major natural history museum libraries, botanical libraries and research institutions. Its goal is to contribute to the global “biodiversity commons” by digitizing and aggregating the resources housed within each of the participating institutions, providing free and open access to the legacy literature that underpins the work of the natural science community.

Here's what previous attendees have to say about the National Forum:

"I came away with substantial knowledge about project management, among other things, that I will be able to immediately apply in my department. Well worth the trip."
"It was one of the best conferences I have attended. I met a far greater concentration of peers - colleagues at other libraries doing similar work - at LITA Forum than I have met at other similar conferences."

Future Perfect Conference 2012: Digital Preservation by Design Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington, NZ

26 – 27 March 2012

Call for Contributions now open

The Digital Preservation by Design theme of Future Perfect 2012 seeks to stimulate discussion about how, when and why influencing the design of systems can ensure that today’s information is available tomorrow.

The call for contributions is now open and we welcome proposals for original presentations and demonstrations on the following topics:

Best Practices Exchange (BPE) 2011: “Distilling Digital Collections”

We are seeking proposals for sessions to be presented at the 6th annual
Best Practices Exchange (BPE), which will be held in Lexington, KY,
at the Hyatt Regency hotel, October 20-22, 2011. The BPE is a
conference that focuses on the management of digital information in
state government, and it brings together practitioners to discuss their
real-world experiences, including best practices and lessons learned.

Following the format of past Best Practices Exchanges we encourage you, the attendees, to present your projects and experiences, successes, failures and lessons learned. This year's conference has four broad tracks. Each track is enumerated below,
along with a list of themes embraced by each track. We ask that potential speakers be guided, but not limited, by the themes indicated.

Each session will be 90 minutes long with two or more speakers per session. We ask that you keep presentations to 10-15 minutes to allow for discussion and engagement with the audience. Proposals should include an abstract of 100 words or less, the proposed track (if applicable), and the name, title, email, phone number and organization of each presenter. You may submit a proposal for one speaker, which will then be paired with others by the program committee; or a proposal for a full session with multiple speakers (please contact and confirm the other speakers prior to submission.) For more information about proposals, please see the “Presentations” page on the website at: http://www.bpexchange.org/2011/?page_id=16

1) Access: Online access; should everything be accessible; FOIA/Open Records issues; legal issues with access

2)Sustainability: Budget/funding issues; technology (IT consolidation, lack of IT support); life after the grant; evaluation, statistics, and user feedback.

3) Digital Projects: Lessons learned; what worked and what didn’t; solutions; new tools or services

4) Collaboration and Community: Support groups and user communities; shared services; user services; library/archives crossovers

Proposals are due by September 15, 2011. Please send all session proposals to Mark Myers, Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, atmark.myers@ky.gov .
