[Eril-l] Space Still Available for Charleston Seminars

[Beth Bernhardt]

The Charleston Library Conference is excited to offer four Charleston
Seminars for 2015. These workshops will be held prior to the main
conference on Monday, November 2, and Tuesday, November 3. Descriptions and
registration information are listed below, and our full schedule
is available online at https://2015charlestonconference.sched.org/.


*1. Acquisitions Bootcamp*Presented in conjunction with UNC Chapel Hill
School of Library and Information Science.

Monday, November 2, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm,
and Tuesday, November 3, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Speakers: Rebecca Vargha and Megan Kilb, UNC Chapel Hill

This seminar will offer an intensive one and one-half day boot camp on
acquisitions from three different perspectives: public services, technical
services, and the vendor side. The major emphasis is on the nuts and bolts
of the acquisitions process from selecting materials, especially e-books,
to assessing collections and articulating the return on investment to the
parent organization (academic/special/public libraries). Using an
interactive hands-on approach, with case studies, small group discussion,
and best practices attendees will gain pragmatic knowledge they can apply
in their home institutions. This class is ideally suited for librarians new
to selection and acquisitions workflows.

Registration Cost: $225

*2. Legal Issues in Libraries: Beyond Bright Lines  (or, Things librarians
didn't know they need to know about the law, but they really do!)*
Presented in conjunction with UNC Chapel Hill School of Library and
Information Science.

Tuesday, November 3, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Speakers: William Cross, North Carolina State University;
Kevin Smith, Duke University; Moderated by Ann Okerson, CRL

Librarians are faced with legal issues every day but, without knowing what
to look, for it can be easy to miss or misunderstand them. Conventional
wisdom that offers easy answers can be tempting but may provide a false
sense of security. Even worse, by trying to follow rules we don't really
understand, we may unnecessarily impede the library's ability to do good
work. Through a series of discussions and group activities, this day-long
session, will prepare librarians to make informed, thoughtful decisions in
key legal areas that are becoming ever more crucial in institutional
settings.

The session will conclude with a summary of issues that will need further
follow-up with professionals, and discussion of how that might follow-up
may be better achieved.

*3. An Introduction to Library Research Data Management Services*
Offered in partnership with ALCTS.

Tuesday, November 3, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Speakers: Robin Champieux, Scholarly Communication Librarian, Oregon Health
& Science University; Jennifer Doty, Research Data Librarian, Scholarly
Communications Office, Emory University Robert W. Woodruff Library;
Christopher Eaker, Data Curation Librarian, University of Tennessee; Jackie
Wirz, Biomedical Research Specialist, Oregon Health & Science University

Data are a core research output. Scientific and scholarly communities,
research funders, universities, and policy makers are recognizing the
importance of and addressing challenges related to organizing, describing,
sharing, and preserving borne digital data. Increasingly, academic
libraries and librarians are contributing to efforts to address these
challenges. This panel workshop will offer attendees a thoughtful,
interactive, and actionable introduction to building and delivering
research data management services. Attendees will learn about the primary
activities and importance of data management across the scholarly
lifecycle; the policies, trends, and technologies affecting researchers and
the organizations that support them; and, the expertise, staffing, and
resources libraries must consider when building successful and sustainable
services.

Registration Cost: $159 for ALCTS members, $225 for non-members
