Dear Colleagues:



I need to contact a vendor who distributes books written in Chinese

(simplified) about United States history. I contacted two vendors - in

San Francisco and New York City - without success.

Thank you very much.

The Committee welcomes participation from all members of the serials profession including publishers, vendors, and systems developers, in addition to faculty and library staff in all types of libraries. Students seeking a forum to share findings from serials-related research are also encouraged to submit proposals. The Committee hopes to continue previous successes by assembling a program that both shares and inspires creativity, collaboration, and new ways of thinking.



Submit proposals by e-mail in a document attachment to Beth Bernhardt at brbernha@uncg.edu.



Deadline for submission is October 20, 2006.



When submitting a proposal, please include the following information.



1. Name(s)

2. Mailing Address

3. Telephone number, fax number, and email address(es)

4. Short (50 words or less) biographical description about proposed speakers

5. Proposed title

6. A 200-300 word abstract, which clearly states the proposal topic, its relationship to serials, and its relevance for conference attendees

7. Estimate of time required to present topic



The Program Planning Committee will review all submitted proposals for their content, timeliness, relevance to the current serials environment, and fit with the overall Conference content. The Committee reserves the right to refocus or combine proposals as needed to reach a diverse audience and to maximize use of program time slots.
