<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">We invite you to join us at ALA Midwinter in Chicago for the next meeting of the Collection Management and Electronic Resources Interest Group (CMERIG).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Title: <b>Resource Sharing of Electronic Resources: Problems, Opportunities, and Alternatives.</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Time: <b>Sunday, February 1st, 3:00-4:00 pm</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Location: <b>McCormick Place W176c</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Following a short presentation by our moderators, we will discuss how resource sharing of electronic resources differs from interlibrary loan services based on physical materials. Changes in
technology, license terms, business models, and best practices for electronic resources management require that libraries reinvestigate how to provide the best possible information services to the contemporary user. What are the implications of these changes
for libraries in terms of administration, organizational structure, and professional specialization, as well as routine business processes and workflows? Be prepared to actively participate in a robust and thoughtful group discussion.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Later, we will invite libraries to share case studies of how they have improved resource sharing operations at their own institutions during our next meeting at the ALA Annual conference.</span></p>
