More info: ER&L provides a forum for information professionals to explore ideas, trends, and technologies related to electronic resources and digital services. The idea of this event is to bring together stakeholders inside and outside of the library to look at the impact the digital environment has on library collections, access to resources, and our organizations. We invite various perspectives and approaches to managing, promoting and accessing electronic resources. We hope to foster collaborative, cross-departmental, cross-community approaches to the issues e-resources have brought to our environment.

Session Formats:
Presentations
A 45-minute lecture-style presentation on a topic related to electronic resources in libraries. Topics may include ?best practices? for dealing with a particular issue (based on research into how various libraries are handling the issue), ideas you have for new ways of addressing a common problem, research you have conducted or are currently conducting, or strategies or programs you have implemented at your institution for dealing with a particular electronic resource-related issue, among others. This type of session should incorporate some time for audience questions and answers. Please consider including leadership practices that made your technology a success, such as issues in project management that you solved, how you integrated resistant and enthusiastic colleagues, or how you enriched decision making with the customer experience.
Panel sessions
A 45-minute moderated discussion with multiple speakers offering different perspectives on a topic or area of concern related to electronic resources in libraries. A panel could take the form of a debate (two or more people take an active stance on various sides of an issue) or a moderated discussion that ?tosses it over the departmental walls? (panelists from a wide variety of functional areas or organizations offer their thoughts on a particular topic), among others. A panel session should incorporate opportunities for questions, both from members of the audience during the session and from those who may submit questions via the online forum before the conference.
Pre-conference workshops
With the pre-conference offerings the ER&L conference wishes to create high-quality learning opportunities not just for practitioners of electronic resource management but also those effected by, or who affect, electronic resource management within libraries. We especially want fresh voices with new ideas to broaden our technical and leadership skills and knowledge. We hope to offer up to six 3-hr workshops and one 6-hour course giving the broad-perspective of a topic that integrates issues from across the library.
Criteria for Pre-Conference? Workshop:
-Workshop provides a substantive professional learning experience for attendees, similar in quality to a university-level continuing education course.
- Workshop includes an element of learner participation, active learning, and/or experiential reflection.
- Instructor has previous experience teaching to adult (18+) audiences is preferred but not required. Including a reference who has participated in a course taught by the instructor is a plus.
