How can we help in the discovery process? What tools have we found
useful for managing our collections? How do we help users navigate our
resources and connect to what they want and need in their research? How
have we charted our course in the turbulent waters of <span>serials</span>
and electronic resources? What is the engine for our future? Let's
share our discoveries and best practices, explore innovations on the
horizon, and participate in a day when ideas are generated and
connections are made.
