I’m pining to be at this year’s NASIG conference being held right now in beautiful Denver, Colorado. But wait, there’s a nifty conference blog that I can read each day to keep up with my friends and colleagues at a distance! I think blogs and NASIG make a great combination. I can’t wait to read what’s going on there, and peruse pictures posted to Flickr.
Just heard the news today that registration for NASIG 2006 in Denver, Colorado, is now open. A program guide has also been posted. I encourage anyone interested in the intersections between scholarly communication, technology, and serial publications to come to this conference!
Although there hasn’t been any official announcement of its availability yet, I noticed late last week that a website with preliminary information for the NASIG 2006 conference is now available from NASIG’s website. I’m hoping to go. The conference next year will be in Denver, Colorado.
I was quite pleased to read via UIUC GSLIS‘s RSS news feed that a current master’s degree student there, Jenny Benevento, has been chosen to receive one of six NASIG Conference Student Grant awards to attend next year’s NASIG annual conference in Denver, Colorado, May 4-7. Congratulations to Jenny! More UIUC GSLIS students have been chosen to receive this award than any other ALA-accredited graduate library school program.
