[Eril-l] Which Conference?

[Melissa Belvadi]

ER&L is excellent. NASIG is specifically serials, so it might not give you
enough coverage on other things, like ebooks and other e-services - I don't
go to it so I don't know for sure.

Another excellent one, but a little more expensive, is Computers in
Libraries. It's hosted by a for-profit though, so if your funding requires
non-profit conferences only, that one would be out.  But I've been blown
away with ideasx every time I've gone.

Every other year is the LITA conference too.  Depending on what scope
"electronic resources librarian" has for you, if it includes for instance a
big role for content on your website, you might find the LITA conferences
very helpful.

Fortunately pretty much everyone keeps past conference info online nowadays
so you can look around and compare.
