The NASIG Program Planning Committee (PPC) invites ideas for topics and for volunteer discussion facilitators for Informal Discussion Groups and User Groups during the 38th Annual Conference

 The Program Planning Committee is looking for:

• Topics for group discussion

• Volunteers who would like to facilitate an Informal Discussion Group or a User Group (facilitators must be registered for the full in-person conference).

Informal Discussion Groups (formerly known as Networking Nodes) serve to promote discussion among NASIG attendees who have a shared interest in a topic, idea, workflow, or problem.   Areas of interest could include but are not limited to: collection management, digital preservation, DEIA, e-resources,  licensing, open access, scholarly communication and supervision, training. The emphasis of these sessions is open discussion and the generation of new ideas.

User Group meetings and Informal Discussion Groups will take place throughout the conference, which runs May 22 - 25, 2023.
