September 28-30 (2 ½ days)
The Magnolia Hotel
Downtown Denver, CO
 
Space is limited. **Register by September 7 at the Early Bird rate and

Get an "outside-in" customer-focused view on how to manage today's 
increasingly complex electronic collections. Hear solutions-based
perspectives of librarians, publishers, and system vendors on usage 
statistics, ERM systems, repository management, digital rights and
licensing, and systems integration. Learn the practical steps you can 
take today to maximize the value of your electronic collections from 
others' best practices and case studies. 
 
You will get practical answers to:

*   Who is using your collections, and how 
*   How to automate the collection management process 
*   What decisions are needed for effective repository management 
*   How to handle copyright and licenses for electronic content 
*   What you can do to integrate your collections and improve end user 
access 
 
**JUST ADDED***
Herbert Van de Sompel will share research that can help you use item 
level usage information to build better collections and  improve your 
recommender systems-and that can help us all assess the relative value 
of scholarly research.
 
**OTHER HIGHLIGHTS AND ADDITIONS**
Marshall Breeding will help you understand how technology is reshaping 
the way your users find, access, use and even create information.  He 
will also help you understand how you need to think about shaping your 
collections in response to these changes. 
 
Peter McCracken, Co-founder and Director of Electronic Content 
Management of Serials Solutions can help you understand the lifecycle of 
today's journal article and how this impacts the use of your publications
or collections. 
 
Find out what you can learn about making your publications or collections 
visible on the Web from OCLC's Open WorldCat experience from Mike Teets, 
Vice President, OCLC Global Product Architecture.
