NASIG Conferences

Annual Conferences

Each year in late May or early June NASIG holds an annual conference in a different part of North America. A variety of topics of interest to serialists are covered in the programs through plenary, concurrent and workshop sessions. 2008 conference will be in Phoenix, Arizona on June 5 - June 8, 2008.

Conference proceedings are published in the spring of the year following the conference by Taylor & Francis in a double issue of The Serials Librarian. An electronic version of the Proceedings is mounted on the NASIG web site for the use of NASIG members.
