[Eril-l] ELUNA Call for Proposals--Practical Applications and General Product/Tool Demonstrations Track

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Greetings to all!

The ELUNA 2026 Annual Meeting Program Planning Committee is excited to open
the Call for Proposals for sessions in Practical Applications and General
Product/Tool Demonstrations! *We invite you to submit your 45-minute
breakout session ideas for the 2026 Annual Meeting by January 15, 2026*.

Our conference theme is “Libraries Always Changing.” Libraries and archives
are some of the best organizations to address this. All of you adapt to
continue to create and improve connections by integrating various
technologies allowing your patrons to access and interact with information
and other resources in new formats via different tools. You pioneer new
programs to fulfill community needs as your visions help you champion your
patrons. We look forward to seeing your unique spin on this topic.

The Practical applications & general product/tool demonstrations track
encourages proposals for all topics, and here are just a few to think about!

   -         Workflows and projects in and across acquisitions,
   cataloging/metadata management, circulation, resource sharing, etc.


   -         Cross-departmental collaborative projects


   -          “Cool tools” that integrate with, or help with, Alma workflows


   -         Metadata management


   -         Data cleanup


   -         Managing or using COUNTER statistics


   -         Cross-training/ changing jobs and applying skills from one
   module to another


   -         Documenting institutional knowledge, recording workflows,
   preparing for retirements and other changes


   -         Changes in the ILL landscape

again, we are using the Dryfta platform
