<p>Hello, Kathy, </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've been in serials/electronic journals work for 16 years now and attended both ER&L and NASIG. ER&L is great for the electronic aspect, but if you want more than just the electronics I would suggest NASIG. Both are great conferences, but you can do
the ER&L online for a much lower cost and still go to NASIG, which is what I have done the past 3 years. It has worked pretty well. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As someone said, if you want to get involved, NASIG is a perfect place to do that and to really get acquainted with people who work in all aspects of publishing, jobbers and libraries. Its a great organization that I highly recommend for anyone working
with any continuing resource, electronic or print. Discussions include all kinds of things. Take some time to review past conferences to get a feel for it. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Hope you will enjoy whatever you chose to do. They are all great conferences.</p>
<p><br>

three. It’s my favorite for this area, and you can meet lots of good colleagues both on the librarian and publisher side who can act as resources and connections, as well as learn a LOT about all sorts of things.

<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">NC Serials is very good for journals, but it’s a lot smaller than ER&L. I think it’s great for a small regional conference, but it’s a small regional conference. NC Serials is short
and very inexpensive, so maybe you could add it on as a second conf even with ER&L or whatever. If you want one more focused on serials issues rather than e-resources in general, I’d go with NASIG as others have suggested, unless you are also in the Carolinas
or VA. </span></p>

Although not new to Libraries, I am new to the role of Electronic Resources Librarian. Our travel budget is very limited, but I have received permission to attend a conference this year. What would be your collective recommendations as to which one to attend,
as a"newbie"? My goal is to learn as much as possible about not only Electronic Resources management but Print serials management as well. So far I am considering The ER & L conference in Austin in April, and the NC Serials conference in March. I would
also consider the Charleston Conference in November, (although it's not focused solely on electronic resources and may be too large for a first timer? )</p>
