Making the E-Resource Infrastructure Work: 
Effective Metadata Exchange & Exposure

Saturday, June 23, 1:30-3:30, Washington Convention Center, Room 140 A/B

In a few short years, we have built and now rely on an e-resources
access
infrastructure largely based on the invention of the OpenURL, DOIs, and 
data exchange and harvesting.  This infrastructure is both robust and 
fragile, and is dependent on the cooperation of many players to make it 
work seamlessly.  Experts from libraries, publishing, database
production,
system providers and search engine providers will discuss the multiple 
facets of this infrastructure.
