Marit Taylor, Co-chair, Publications/Public Relations Committee
Do you even seek speakers on a particular subject for a conference or meeting? Do you need advice or information about an unfamiliar area of serials management? Are you familiar with what was the NASIG Human Resources Directory, now renamed the Speakers and Consultants Directory?
This Directory is provided to help you find experts on various topics who are willing to travel and speak at conferences, or be consulted personally about their areas of special expertise. You can browse the Directory by name or subject area.
We on the Publications and Public Relations Committee are charged with maintaining and updating this Directory. We are aware that many of the entries need updating, and that the Directory as a whole might benefit by reorganizing and making entries more consistent.
We would very much appreciate your input in the following areas:
Have you ever used the Directory?
Do you think you might use it now that you know about it, or are reminded about it?
How would you like to see it improved?
Are you willing to submit a profile and add your name to the list?
Thank you in advance for any input and suggestions.
22:2 (2007:05) Calling NASIGuide Authors
May 19, 2007 at 6:07 pm | In News, Publications/PR | Leave a CommentCALLING ALL AUTHORS: GOT NASIGUIDE?
Linda Pitts, Publications/Public Relations Committee
Have you been looking for a way to help your fellow NASIG members AND benefit your career at the same time? Well, look no further–the NASIG Publications and Public Relations Committee has the perfect opportunity for you!
As many of you know, the PubPR Committee maintains a web page with links to guides on various topics of interest to NASIG members, such as the ISSN, license negotiations, and serial holdings. See the complete list of NASIGuides at http://www.nasig.org/publications/guides/.
The PubPR Committee is currently soliciting members to write additional NASIGuides. Some recommended topics are:
Electronic resources workflow
FRBR implications for serials
Claiming workflows
Pricing models
License negotiations
If you are interested in writing a guide, either on one of these topics or on something else pertinent to serials, please email Linda Pitts at lmpitts@u.washington.edu. Please note that we have people already working on guides for MARC Fields for Serials, Cancellation Workflows, Working with Subscription Vendors, and Serials in Institutional Repositories.
Remember, this is a great opportunity to contribute to NASIG Web and to see your name in print as an author (which can be even better than seeing it in lights if you’re applying for tenure). So do yourself and NASIG a favor and volunteer today!

NARRATIVE OF ACTIVITIES SINCE LAST REPORT:
• CEC events successfully sponsored and completed: January – April 2007

– September 2007 – SCCTP Distance Education Train-the-Trainers Program, led by Laura Kimberly of the Amigos Library Services and coordinated by Jayne Sappington ($1000)
The Amigos Library Services submitted a proposal for this program in March 2007 to request for the funding that was made available due to the withdrawal of the previously approved “CONSER Access Level Record for Serials: Training Material Development” program (see “Events Cancelled” below). The Amigos program proposal was approved by the Board in April 2007.
– Distance Education Development: a Pilot Project, led and coordinated by Betty Landesman ($1000)
In exploring the next steps for our proposed pilot project for developing an online course, we touched base with Virginia Taffurelli, Chair of the ALA ALCTS SS Education Committee and a NASIG CEC member. The new lead is to contact Christa Easton (Stanford University) and Trisha Davis (Ohio State University), who are developing online courses for e-resources and print serials for ALCTS, for possible collaborative opportunities.
• Events cancelled; funds reallocated
– CONSER Access Level Record for Serials: Training Material Development ($1000)
This program will not take place as it was proposed because Les Hawkins of CONSER formally withdrew his request for the grant on March 9, 2007.
• CEC Manual – A subcommittee within CEC has been formed to put a CEC manual together. The subcommittee will be meeting shortly to work on this project.
• Review of Committee Charge – In response to the request from the VP/Pres-Elect of NASIG, the CEC will discuss the committee charge at the annual meeting in June to see if it needs any adjustment or modification.
• New England Technical Services Librarians (NETSL) — Dodie Gaudet, the VP/President-Elect of NETSL, contacted the CEC in March inquiring possibilities of offering some programs in conjunction with NASIG. In response, the CEC requested additional information about the kind of projects NETSL had in mind and also provided two possibilities for NETSL to consider: 1) collaboration on a non-conference event such as co-sponsoring or jointly planning a preconference that is serials-related in a broad sense; 2) Some of the sessions that have been presented at NASIG annual conferences could be incorporated to NETSL conference, if interested.
