Last Call for Proposals: Great Lakes E-Summit: Delivering Information
vs. Collection Building
Maumee Bay Lodge and Conference Center, Oregon, OH, September 22-23, 2014
We are asking for your proposals for the fourth annual Great Lakes
E-Resources Summit. Our theme this year is delivering information vs.
collection building and we are inviting proposals for fifty minute
sessions that address the following topics.
1) Just in Time Acquisitions - An in depth discussion of PDA, DDA, and
other programs designed to deliver information to the user on demand
rather than provide service using materials previously acquired by the
library. We welcome proposals about your library’s PDA program, what has
worked or what has not worked well, as well as more theoretical
discussions of the costs and benefits of just in time information
service for libraries.
2) Navigating the Marketplace for Electronic Resources – We welcome
proposals regarding how your library controls or addresses costs for
electronic resources. How have electronic resources changed the
collection development policy or polices at your library? Is an
allocation formula used for part or the library’s materials budget? How
are freely available electronic resources included or not in your
library’s collection/services? How does your library work with consortia
to pursue discounts or find other ways to reduce the cost of electronic
resources?
3) Analytics and Assessment of Electronic Resources – We welcome
proposals regarding how your library uses data, including but not
limited to usage statistics, to determine how to acquire electronic
resources. How do you assess the value of your library’s electronic
collection to the user? Who manages the assessment process of electronic
resources in your library? We welcome proposals about specific tools,
techniques, workflows, and organizational structures relevant to the
data driven assessment of electronic resources.
Please submit your proposal now!
