PPC UPDATE
Morag Boyd and Erika Ripley, Co-Chairs

The Program Planning Committee is getting to work on 2009, and what we hope will be another great conference.  The 2009 theme is “Riding the Rapids Through a Mountain of Change.”  You can submit your program proposals and ideas at:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=gLDuSAnEoUWee0bttCXLgA_3d_3d.

The first round of submissions will be reviewed after September 5, 2008.  Ideas submitted after that time will be considered in a second round of reviews. Look for a second call in late September for more details. The committee is particularly interested in hearing from publishers, vendors, librarians, and others about issues relating to scholarly communication, licensing, and publishing. Proposals based on both descriptive and experimental research findings are especially welcome.  If you have a suggestion for a great topic or speaker, please don’t hesitate to share that information with PPC and to encourage colleagues to submit proposals.

As always, the evaluation and assessment report for the 2008 annual conference will serve as a valuable planning tool as PPC considers ideas for the program schedule, the number and types of sessions, and ways to include a broad variety of content. If you have thoughts you want to share with the committee, please contact us at prog-plan@nasig.org.

We’re looking forward to seeing your program ideas!
