Conference at 25: The Age of Discovery. We offer our users a rich array
of physical and electronic resources. How do our communities gain
access? 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 class="">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. Come celebrate our 25th year! <span> </span>
