{Please excuse cross-postings}

Greetings -

While there has been great interest in the ACRL New England ERM Interest Group Program, Managing E-Resources to Measure Value in Academic Libraries,  regretfully, we have had to postpone the event because we did not have enough presentation proposals to complete a half-day event.

We perceive that this is because the call for proposals was not open long enough prior to the deadline and thus we will be rescheduling the event for the fall.

We apologize for this inconvenience and look forward to seeing you in the fall!

All the best from your ACRL NEC ERMIG Co-Chairs,

Kim Maxwell, MIT
