CONFERENCE ANTICIPATION
The 24th annual conference is just about two weeks away and it is definitely exciting these days! The board is finishing up some last minute business items before our meeting on 3 June 2009, my last as president of the board. The conference program is wonderful and all the sessions are getting some really fantastic turn-outs. The preconferences have all made their minimum enrollments and the “Basics of E-Resources Licensing” has far exceeded our anticipation for attendance. This is a really solid offering of programs and Program Planning has done a truly amazing job getting speakers lined up and set. It should be noted that one program planning co-chair even found time to give birth to her first child on the first of May! Congratulations to Erika Ripley and her new daughter Honora!! Erika will be unable to attend the conference but Anne Mitchell, the co-chair assigned for 2009-10, will step in to help Morag Boyd out with all Program Planning concerns from this point forward.

Committee members: Buddy Pennington, University of Missouri – Kansas City, Lori J. Terrill, University of Wyoming (new member for 2009/2010), Allyson Zellner, EBSCO
Board liaison: Virginia Taffurelli, New York Public Library
ACTIVITIES
- A brief schedule regarding the editing of the 2008 papers is provided below:
- 2008 conference reports were due to the editors on July 18, 2008. The editors provided extensions for a handful of authors.
- The editors used Google Docs to edit the papers and prepare them for Taylor & Francis.
- The edited papers were uploaded to Taylor & Francis’ CATS online production system in December 2008.
- The proofs were reviewed by the editors in early February 2009.
- The Proceedings were published online by Taylor & Francis in mid-March 2009.
- The 2008 Conference Proceedings were published as v.56 of The Serials Librarian. Taylor & Francis has uploaded the volume on its InformaWorld site. PDFs of all of the papers have been sent to ECC on April 7, 2009 to upload to the NASIG website.
- The following changes were made to the Proceedings volume:
- The Proceedings are now published as a combined volume instead of two combined issues (1/2 and 3/4) under Haworth.
- A new cover was designed by Taylor & Francis for The Serials Librarian.
- The complimentary copies list was submitted to Taylor and Francis in March 2009. The editors will follow up with Taylor & Francis since the online CATS production system can send forms to authors to provide this information for the issue. If CATS can do this for all presenters and recorders, the editors’ work required for this list will be reduced significantly.
- Lori Terrill from the University of Wyoming has been selected as the new Proceedings editor for the 2009/2010 term. She will be replacing Buddy Pennington, who rotates off prior to the 2009 conference.
- Per the approval of the NASIG Board, The Serials Librarian is now a member of COPE (The Committee on Publication Ethics).
- The editors are currently working on:
- Collecting applications for recorders for the 2009 conference.
- Making revisions to the editors manual using Google Docs.
- Contacting Taylor & Francis regarding the 2009 Proceedings editorial schedule and workflow.

NARRATIVE OF ACTIVITIES
CONTINUING ACTIVITIES
In order to meet NASIG’s obligation to provide content to the UKSG’s Serials E-news, our committee has asked authors of NASIGuides and of particularly good articles in the NASIG Newsletter to grant permission for them to be published by UKSG as well. However, we did not get too many contributors. Also, our committee asked all former board members back to 2003 who are still active in NASIG. We had a few former board members that might be interested, but none of them have produced articles yet. This is an ongoing effort. Continue Reading 24:2 (2009:05) Committee Annual Report: PubPR…

COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES
Two sites were reviewed for the 2010 annual conference and Palm Springs, Rancho Las Palmas, was selected.

For information about Rancho Las Palmas see the following website:
http://www.rancholaspalmas.com/.
Bids were solicited for the 2011 conference from a variety of cities and over a variety of dates in March, May and June, 2011 to gauge the differences in rates and options. Well over 50 proposals have been received and are being reviewed.
A report will be made to the board at the annual meeting on possible locations for the 2011 conference.

ABSTRACT: University librarians in China face many of the same challenges related to serials management that confront librarians in the United States. The authors discuss the importance for librarians in the United States, especially those working with serials, to establish and build ties with librarians in other countries, such as China. Benefits of an exchange could include sharing information about best practices, exchange of serial materials, and working together on mutually advantageous projects. Acknowledging the growing interest in international library exchange programs, the authors relate their own institution’s efforts to build international ties with Fudan University in Shanghai, China, and Shaanxi Normal University in Xi’an, China. In establishing these ties, the authors have traveled to China and interviewed librarians about serials acquisition, processing, and management.

THE SCHOLARLY KITCHEN SERVES UP A UNIQUE BUFFET OF TOPICS IN SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING
Society for Scholarly Publishing
Wheat Ridge, CO (February 20, 2009) – If you think the world of scholarly publishing is all about the “so quiet you can hear a pin drop” library, think again. The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) has established the Scholarly Kitchen – a moderated blog that invites dialogue on diverse topics and current trends in the broad area of communication and the more focused issues of scholarly publishing.

Susan Davis, Profiles Editor
For those of you who devour the NASIG treasurer reports in each issue of the Newsletter and at conference, you realize that NASIG has been very fortunate to build up a financial reserve over the past 23 years. The organization has managed to weather dues increases, change of conference venue from college campus to hotel, moving online hosting facilities from non-profit to fee-based services, expanding from NASIGNET (email and early Web presence) to NASIGWeb with an integrated content management system, all without a major sacrifice in programs or activities. However, events like SARS, domestic terrorism, and a deep recession have raised awareness that past revenue models cannot be depended on in perpetuity. Continue Reading 24:2 (2009:05) Profile: FDC…
