NASIG would like to congratulate our 2014 Vision Speakers
for making an impact in their fields. Dr. Katherine Skinner
was presented with the 2013 Society of American Archivists
Preservation Publication Award. Her talk is on “Critical
Moments: Chance, Choice, and Change in Scholarly
Publishing.” Herbert Van de Sompel received the Los Alamos
National Laboratory 2013 Outstanding Innovation Award. His
vision speech is titled “From a System of Journals to a
Web of Objects.” Jenica Rogers will be accepting the 2014
HARRASSOWITZ Leadership in Library Acquisitions Award later
this year. Her talk is on “Reaching New Horizons:
Gathering the Resources Librarians Need to Make Hard
Decisions.” You don’t want to miss what these folks have
to say!
 
The Early Bird deadline is fast approaching. Don't miss out
on excellent programming, an informative Vendor Expo,
networking opportunities and just plain fun.  Fort Worth
offers great evening activities, and the conference opening
event will be a foot-stomping good time!  Check out the
conference website for info. http://www.nasig.org
 
Plan to come early and attend one of our great
pre-conferences! From the Library of Congress, Les Hawkins
and Hien Nguyen will be delivering an intense workshop on
basic serials cataloging. Claire Dygert brings more than
sixteen years of experience to the table to help you build
your licensing and negotiation skills. Angie Rathmel and Lea
Currie will show you how to dig into your usage data and
other metrics to assess their ongoing value to your
institution.
