Date: Thu, 6 Feb 92 09:53:23 EST From: Ann Lillian Okerson <OKERSON@UMDC> Subject: NASIG PROGRAM Cindy forwarded me your message re. NASIG program. We had been intending to await a "final" program but that won't be for another 1-2 weeks. At that time, there will be a longer message that will formally go out to SERIALST, NSPI, PACS-L and anywhere else that seems proper.. In the meanwhile, here's a brief summary of program at this time. All of us are very excited about this meeting, which features a whole day jointly with SSP (Society for Scholarly Publishing), a unique opportunity for an organization of librarians to meet with an organization comprising primarily (but of course not entirely) producers of scholarly publications. Both groups have worked hard and collaborated happily on what promises to be the great library/publisher meeting of the early 90s.
