[Eril-l] Which Conference?

[erin.wentz at mcphs.edu]

ERIL is my first recommendation to.

I have also heard good things about – but never attended – the LibTech Conference<http://libtechconf.org/>. Their conference is shorter, and consequently cheaper, that the others and may be a good fit if funding is a concern.

Have fun,

Erin

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.

Hello Colleagues,

Although not new to Libraries, I am new to the role of Electronic Resources Librarian.  Our travel budget is very limited, but I have received permission to attend a conference this year.  What would be your collective recommendations as to which one to attend, as a"newbie"?  My goal is to learn as much as possible about not only Electronic Resources management but Print serials management as well.  So far I am considering The ER & L conference in Austin in April,  and the NC Serials conference in March. I would also consider the Charleston Conference in November, (although it's not focused solely on electronic resources and may be too large for a first timer? )

AM I missing any?

Thanks so much in advance for your advice!

Kathy
