Rick Anderson, NASIG President
Thinking Warm Thoughts of Palm Springs
For many of us, it’s probably hard to believe that spring is really around the corner. As I write this, the northeastern corner of the United States is bracing for another pair of massive snowstorms, just as it’s finishing digging out from the blizzards that came two weeks ago. And it’s not just New England, either: there’s been snow in Texas, snow in Mississippi, and I have it on good authority that there was frost under the palm trees in Gainesville, Florida last week—it’s been a crazy, crazy late winter all around the country.

Susan Davis, Profiles Editor
It’s hard for many of us, especially the attendees at NASIG’s 1st conference in 1986, to believe that NASIG is celebrating its 25th conference in 2010! Our task force was created to help plan special celebratory events at the upcoming Palm Springs conference and to document the occasion for posterity. There were wonderful celebrations and projects for NASIG’s 10th and 20th anniversaries and we hope the 25th will be just as memorable.

Publications and Public Relations
Kathryn Johns-Masten and Wm. Joseph Thomas, Co-Chairs
Continuing activities
Joseph Thomas will draft a new webpage with the goal of providing information on calls for papers, people interested in collaborating and people seeking co-authors. This will serve our charge of “serving in a proactive role to encourage publication of serials-related literature, whether for publication by NASIG itself or by an outside publishing agent.” Continue Reading 25:1 (2010:03) Committee Updates: PubPR…

Background:
The task force met a few times by phone and used Google Docs as a workspace for sharing and editing documents. We considered the functions that Haworth was previously performing for us as our publisher and created a list of possible pros and cons of open access publishing. Next, we created a list of 15 questions to ask potential open access publishers for the NASIG annual conference Proceedings.

25:1 (2010:03) Committee Updates: Site Selection
March 23, 2010 at 10:41 pm | Posted in Site Selection | Leave a commentSite Selection
Rick Anderson, Katy Ginanni, Joyce Tenney
The committee presented the slate of options to the Executive Board for the 2011 conference at the June 2009 NASIG Board meeting. Over the summer the Site Selection Committee refined the bids from three cities and conducted site visits. All three cities were viable and offered good bids. After Executive Board discussion, bids were pursued for sites for both the 2011 conference and 2012 conference. A favorable contract was negotiated with the 2011 city, which will be announced at our conference in Palm Springs.
Upon completion of that contract, the committee began negotiations for 2012. It was determined that the needed dates for the conference were not available in that city due to a city-wide conference already booked there. After consultation with the Executive Board, it was agreed that another city would be slotted for 2012, and we might look again at the second city for the 2013 conference, if favorable dates and rates could be obtained.
Currently, bids are being reviewed to determine good choices for the 2012 conference location.
