This afternoon, Kathryn Wesley, NASIG Newsletter Editor-in-Chief, announced the availability of results of a site selection survey of NASIG members.  Check it out here.
Some initial thoughts:

I am happy to see a lot of interest in having NASIG return to Vancouver as a conference site.  The last time NASIG was in Vancouver was in the mid-1990s [...]

This is pretty cool! NASIG has just opened its online store for business. Here you can order NASIG paraphernalia such as t-shirts from this year’s conference in Louisville, KY and a limited number of other items. Hopefully the choices for what to purchase will expand over time.

I have been a little bemused by the many posts and comments on library-related blogs in the past week that mention NASIG. Great exposure, right? Right, except that most of them seem to have focused on one person’s informal writeup of one particular session that discussed the role of columnists in library journals [...]

You know how some people seem to enjoy periodically rearranging furniture in their homes? (Jeff, one of my older brothers, used to do this a lot with his bedroom. My brother Dan and I shared a room at the time, and we even let him rearrange ours once in a while just for the fun [...]

Below is a smattering of additional thoughts and comments from NASIG 2007:
Karen Schneider’s paranoia and negativity about things like Google, EPA library closings, survival of small press publishers. Her purpose as a vision speaker was to stimulate debate and thought and I think she succeeded in that. I may not agree with her [...]

Just discovered that friend Char Simser, new president of NASIG, posted her photos from the conference in Louisville last week to Flickr. Look carefully and you might see me in one of her photos! I brought my camera with me to the conference but took only a few photos; I don’t know why [...]

The main reason I was able to go to NASIG this year was that Anne McKee, program officer for the Greater Western Library Alliance (apparently known as GWLA, pronounced “Gwilla”), kindly invited me to participate in a panel discussion about alternative library careers for serialists. I jumped at the chance to present with friends [...]

One of the things that came up in conversation a few times when I was at NASIG this past weekend was that last year I made a proposal to UIUC GSLIS for a new, advanced course on electronic resources management. My intent in proposing this new course was that an existing course that I [...]

It’s no secret that NASIG is my favorite professional organization and that I enjoy NASIG conferences more than any other. Why? One reason is that there is nowhere I feel more at home than at NASIG. People are friendly, warm, supportive, thought-provoking, and do very interesting things both in their personal lives and professionally. The [...]

Soon I will be among friends at the 22nd annual NASIG conference held this year in Louisville, Kentucky. Mark Lindner will be along for the ride as well, which is great. The theme of this year’s conference is “Place Your Bet in Kentucky: The Serials Gamble.”
I will be joining several others in a [...]
