NASIG MENTORING PROGRAM
Gracemary Smulewitz and Dana Walker, Co-Chairs

NASIG is again sponsoring a conference mentoring program to help make new conference attendees feel more at ease, highlight membership benefits and create networking opportunities. The program will match experienced NASIG conference attendees with new conference goers.

Please see the information and forms at: http://www.nasig.org/mentoring.cfm

To be a mentee, the only requirement is attendance at the 24th Annual NASIG Conference in Asheville, North Carolina, June 4-7.

To be a mentor, we ask for previous attendance to at least one NASIG conference, willingness to meet with your mentee at the conference, and establishing contact with your mentee prior to the conference. Continue reading 24:2 (2009:05) NASIG Mentoring Program…

PPC UPDATE
Morag Boyd, Co-Chair

The Program Planning Committee is looking forward to seeing you in Asheville in just a few weeks! We are excited about the program, with sessions covering many different aspects of serials from licensing to user tags in catalogs. We hope that everyone will find sessions of interest.

As we get close to conference date here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • There may be some changes to the program, so please check the programs distributed on-site for late-breaking changes.
  • Although we ask you to indicate interest in programs while registering, feel free to change your mind.
  • During lunch on Friday, take your box lunch and join one of the informal discussion groups. Specific topics and locations will be announced.
  • Posters will be up all day on Friday, so please take the time to learn from our innovative colleagues.
  • On Sunday morning, time is designated for user groups.
  • It is not too late to sign up for one of our exciting preconferences!

CPC UPDATE
Eleanor Cook and Steve Kelley, Co-Chairs

Exact details on pricing are still being ironed out, but NASIG will be providing shuttle buses between the Asheville Airport and the conference hotels on Thursday, June 4 and Sunday, June 7.  Although we haven’t worked out a final price, these shuttles will be considerably cheaper for attendees than taxi services or car rentals.  When the price structure is set, we will let you know!

Also, tickets are still available for our exciting evening event at the Biltmore House on Friday, June 5.  The evening will include transportation to and from the house, dinner in the charming Biltmore Stable Cafe Loft (with cash bar available), and a tour of the Biltmore House, America’s largest private residence and a truly amazing historical and cultural landmark.  Your ticket will also allow you to return to the Biltmore on Sunday, June 7 to visit the house again, tour the Biltmore Winery, or marvel at the Biltmore gardens.  Tickets are still available at price of $125, but space is limited.
