[Eril-l] Consider Hosting an ALCTS E-Forum!

[Rebecca Kemp Goldfinger]

Dear Colleagues:

Have you ever wanted to lead a conversation with colleagues from near and
far about professional development topics, without leaving the comfort of
your office?  You can do this by hosting an ALCTS E-Forum!

E-Forums are two-day, moderated, electronic discussion forums that provide
an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest on an ALCTS
e-mail listserv. These discussions are free of charge and available to
anyone who wishes to subscribe to the listserv.  They occur approximately
once a month.

We are currently seeking discussion leaders (hosts) for e-Forums starting
in September of 2016 and continuing through the fall.  Hosts lead the
e-mail discussion and provide summaries of what is discussed.

Here is the E-Forum website, for examples:
http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum

Additionally, some potential topics of interest including the following:


   - Best practices for getting the most from your ILS
   - E-resource licensing
   - Managing gifts in the library
   - Digitizing paper-based objects, current best practices in describing
   digital collections, and preservation issues that arise when digitizing
   paper-based collections
   - The future of public libraries and printed books
   - How libraries handle batch processing of records, including a summary
   of tools such as MarcEdit, how they're used, and what librarians are doing
   to train themselves to use these tools
   - Visualizing workflows and other innovative approaches to workflows

If you are interested in hosting an e-Forum or have any questions, please
contact alcts-eforum-request at lists.ala.org .

Best wishes,

Nadine Ellero & Rebecca Goldfinger, E-Forum Co-Coordinators
