CALL FOR PROPOSALS - Midwinter Meeting

  • 1.  CALL FOR PROPOSALS - Midwinter Meeting

    Posted Oct 26, 2009 04:04 PM

    Are you an e-resource librarian, publisher or vendor who works regularly with e-resource knowledge base management and standards?  Come join in an important discussion at Midwinter!

    The ALCTS E-Resources Interest Group (ERIG) is seeking proposals for participation in  a panel at our 2010 Midwinter meeting in Boston on Saturday, January 16, from 10:30am-12:00pm.

    The topic for the meeting will be “In the ‘Know’: E-Resource Knowledge Base Management and Standards”
     
    Panel topics might include the following:
     
    - Tips for efficiently maintaining your local e-resource knowledge base

    - Tricks, scripts and/or programming skills which KB users have found to be particular useful for maintenance/management.

    - Challenges and solutions for keeping the knowledge base up-to-date (libraries and vendors)

    - Wish list of functionality for the e-resource knowledge base

    - KBART (Knowledge Bases And Related Tools): how will this standard help?

    - Is there a better way to do this work cooperatively?
     
    Each panelist will speak for approximately 15 minutes.  There will be time for audience participation and questions following the talks.
     
    Please e-mail proposals by November 10th to Amira Aaron, libconsultaa@gmail.com.
