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
 
Proposals should include a title and summary of the talk, as well as the names, positions and e-mail addresses of the presenters.
