ALCTS e-Forum: Advances in Electronic Resources Management

March 28-29, 2017

Moderated by George Stachokas and Anne Liebst

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

As libraries continue to transition away from information services based on
physical materials, how is electronic resources management changing? How
are electronic resources changing libraries? How have libraries
reorganized? How are library consortia and other groups of libraries
working together to solve problems? What new systems or tools are being
used? What new professional positions are being created? How is work
distributed across the library? Are legacy print collections being replaced
systematically with online journals and eBooks? What are some of the
problems encountered in this transition? How have information services been
improved to serve users?

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
