SERU (Shared E-Resources Understanding), a NISO recommended practice designed to help relieve both librarians and publishers of labor-intensive license negotiations, is seeing adoption by a growing number of libraries, publishers, and consortia.  This program will provide attendees with an understanding of the history, development, and application of SERU, and will demonstrate situations in which the adoption of SERU could serve as an alternative to license agreements.    

 

The 2nd part of the program will be NISO updates from Todd Carpenter, Managing Director, National Information Standards Organization (NISO).

 

We are also calling for volunteers to serve as Chair-Elect for 2009/2010 and then as Chair for 2010/2011. Please send your nomination or self-nomination to jengj@acm.org.
