[Eril-l] Collection Management and Electronic Resources Interest Group at ALA Midwinter

[Stachokas, George A]

**Please excuse cross-posting**

We invite you to join us at ALA Midwinter in Chicago for the next meeting of the Collection Management and Electronic Resources Interest Group (CMERIG).

Title: Resource Sharing of Electronic Resources: Problems, Opportunities, and Alternatives.
Time: Sunday, February 1st, 3:00-4:00 pm
Location: McCormick Place W176c

Following a short presentation by our moderators, we will discuss how resource sharing of electronic resources differs from interlibrary loan services based on physical materials. Changes in technology, license terms, business models, and best practices for electronic resources management require that libraries reinvestigate how to provide the best possible information services to the contemporary user. What are the implications of these changes for libraries in terms of administration, organizational structure, and professional specialization, as well as routine business processes and workflows? Be prepared to actively participate in a robust and thoughtful group discussion.

Later, we will invite libraries to share case studies of how they have improved resource sharing operations at their own institutions during our next meeting at the ALA Annual conference.
