The Planning Committee is currently accepting proposals for presentations
that reflect the 2017 conference theme:  Being Data-Informed: Taking Control
and Connecting Users to Content. 

 

The Web does not just connect machines, it connects people. - Tim
Berners-Lee

 

Libraries offer a rich array of physical and electronic resources, and we
can access an enormous variety of data related to all aspects of their
management.  How can we best utilize data to help our users connect more
effectively to the information future? What can we learn from analyzing best
practices? How can we leverage data to make our processes more efficient and
secure while offering our users the most targeted and timeliest access? How
will we chart our future course through the complexities of serials and
electronic resources to guide our users forward? How can data help to ensure
more robust connections across the information supply chain?

 

Proposals may address any related aspect of the serials industry or serials
management and may be submitted by any member of the serials profession
including publishers, vendors, librarians, staff, and students.
 
Proposals should be submitted using the form via the URL below. The new
deadline for submissions is Friday, December 23, 2016.
