It begins with a preconference on using the Internet. The first plenary session opens with four speakers who will examine the scope of change in the serials, publishing and information community. The second plenary shifts the focus from the societal to the personal and sets the stage for five concurrent sessions, which address the human impact of change in multiple contexts. These sessions will be repeated, allowing delegates to attend two. The third plenary session will twist the kaleidoscope another notch to a third perspective, that of users, and will present two exciting projects. The final speaker will display another dazzling pattern by revisiting change and the choices that confront us as individuals and as a community. In addition, NASIG workshops are a perennial favorite conference feature, offering opportunities to learn about and discuss everyday challenges. Two sets of nine workshops will be repeated twice, offering delegates a choice of four workshops. We have selected a wide range of topics, attempting to find something for everyone in the serials information chain. DETAILED PROGRAM INFORMATION TO FOLLOW IN SECOND POSTING
