Going to the Charleston Conference?  You're invited to a "Lively
Lunch" to discuss how SERU is evolving to accommodate e-books and
other e-resources.

When:   12:45, Friday, November 4th
Where:  Francis Marion Hotel / Gold Room

SERU:  It's Not Just for Journals Anymore

Raise your hand if you've spent at least one hour navigating your
way through an electronic resource license in the past year.
Okay, put your hand down, and then make plans to attend this
Lively Lunch so you can learn more about the changes being
implemented in SERU, the Shared Electronic Resources
Understanding.  SERU, a NISO Best Practice since 2008, works in
conjunction with copyright law and was originally designed to
replace licenses for e-journals.  Now its scope is being
broadened to accommodate the acquisition of e-books as well.
Members of the NISO SERU Standing Committee will lead a
discussion about the changes being implemented, show how SERU
fits into the workflow of both content providers and librarians,
and offer practical advice on how you can incorporate SERU into
your electronic resources ordering process.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions...
