What is the UnConference?
NASIG UnConference Plains is a regional library unconference to be held from 10:00am-4:00pm on Friday March 20, 2009 at Hale Library on Kansas State University's Manhattan campus. It is sponsored by NASIG (North American Serials Interest Group). Participation is open to anyone who is interested in dialogue and conversation about serials and e-resources from acquisition to cataloging to access to ERMs, to share hands-on experience about workflows, working with subscription agents, vendors, and publishers, and to brainstorm ways to improve our services and organizations to meet the needs of our communities.
How does it work?
At the start of the event, all the participants meet together to brainstorm and choose the specific topics to be discussed during the break-out sessions. The number of break-outs can be as high as six. Then, once the schedule is set, participants will be free to attend whichever sessions interest them. Each session will have a facilitator who will start a discussion and encourage sharing and brainstorming. Groups will reconvene to summarize their thoughts for the whole. A wiki is to submit discussion topics and ideas. In other words the participations are picking the topics.
Suggested Topics:
ERMs
Converting from print to electronic journals
What can I tell my subscription agent to make all our lives easier
To catalog or not to catalog: how do you manage electronic journals & databases
Basic how to use blogs, wikis, and feed readers
Preserving continously updated or "latest edition only" electronic resources
Dealing with the serials patchwork of formats, restrictions, changes, refusal to offer pay-per-use options, and very diverse hoops for online access.
How to create an active and motivated statewide technical services round table, how to get people interested and involved.
Claiming electronic access with subscription agents. How to make this process easier for libraries, agents and publishers.
