Call for Papers: NASIG 23rd Annual Conference "Taking the Sting Out of Serials"

Call for Papers: North American Serial Interest Group: 23rd Annual Conference "Taking the Sting Out of Serials"
Date: June 5-8, 2008
Location: Tapatio Cliffs Hilton Resort, Phoenix, Arizona

From an email announcement:

The 2008 Program Planning Committee (PPC) invites proposals and/or program ideas for pre-conference, vision, strategy, and tactics sessions. The Program Planners are specifically interested in hearing from publishers, vendors, librarians, and others about issues relating to scholarly communication, licensing, and publishing.

Please keep in mind the following:
• The Program Planning Committee will review all submitted proposals for their content, timeliness, and relevance to the conference theme and reserves the right to combine, blend, or refocus proposals to maximize their relevance and to avoid duplication.
• The Program Planning Committee will treat all submissions as suggestions and guideposts.
• Time management issues and reimbursement guidelines generally limit each session to two speakers.
• Proposals may be suggested as one type of session and/or format and ultimately be accepted as any one of the other types of sessions or formats; this decision is the purview of the Program Planning Committee.
• Vision and Strategy speakers are required to produce a written paper for the conference proceedings. Because NASIG publishes its conference proceedings, content needs to be unique for copyright purposes.

Sessions Types:
• Pre-conferences are in-depth programs that focus on practical aspects of the work and skills we perform on a daily basis. In general, these programs are several hours in duration, have limited attendance, and may include hands-on training.

• Vision sessions are offered at no-conflict times to allow all conference attendees to participate. These programs generally deal with the larger universe of ideas and issues that may influence the serials world.

• Strategy sessions generally deal with all or, at least, several segments of the serials world including, but not limited to publishers, vendors, service providers, and librarians. These sessions are 90 minutes; please allow 10 minutes for questions from the audience.

• Tactics Sessions are designed to address day-to-day issues and generally deal with one or two practical aspects of the serials world. These sessions are 60 minutes; please allow 10 minutes for questions from the audience.

To suggest a proposal or an idea, please fill out the submission form.

The deadline for this call for proposals and ideas is August 20, 2007.

Inquiries may be sent to the PPC co-chairs, Sarah Wessel and Erika Ripley.

The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
