Open to Change: Open Source and Next Generation ILS and ERMS

Sunday, June 27, 10:30–Noon        Washington D.C. Convention Center – Room 146C

Join us in thinking outside the out-of-the-box, proprietary ILS or ERM as the members of this panel discuss the latest developments in open source library applications. Although much attention has been paid to the promise of open source and new technologies for the OPAC, this panel will shed light on how next-generation technology, open source projects, and the widespread sharing of home-grown solutions can help change the game in acquisitions and e-resource management.

Speakers

· Galadriel Chilton, Electronic Resources Librarian, University of Wisconsin - La Crosse

· Bill Erickson, VP of Software Development & Integration, Equinox Software

· Robert H. McDonald, Associate Dean for Library Technologies & Executive Director, Kuali OLE at Indiana University.
