NASIG conferences are focused on serials-related issues pertinent to any aspects of the serials information chain. Most new developments in information scenariossuch as new technologies, services, functions, publication formats, scholarly communication venues, access methods, and purchasing/licensing modelsemerge first within the realm of serials.
