No matter where you’ve been, there you are! I attended the 23rd Annual North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) conference in Phoenix from June 5-8. Don’t worry, it’s a dry heat…right! 100 degrees in the shade, but everything was blooming and the desert birds were singing. No scorpions were spotted! This was a terrific meeting for the over 500 attendees! Timely topics addressed by skilled practitioners of the serials art included real ERM implementations, discovery and e-resources, standards, technologies, are e-books e-serials, what they never told you about vendors in library school, poster sessions, and on and on. Each day began with a compelling keynote, or in NASIG-speak, vision session. Marshall Breeding (Vanderbilt), Mike Kuniavsky (ThingM), and Carol Diedrichs (Kentucky) balanced theory and real-world concepts for us. Next year’s conference is to be in Asheville, NC. Keep an eye out for the initial call for proposals later this summer, and do consider submitting your ideas. The newly re-vamped NASIG web site is at http://www.nasig.org/
