MSU Libraries eResource and Emerging Technologies Summit (LEETS)
Mississippi State University
Friday and Saturday, August 3-4, 2012
Mississippi State University Libraries is dedicated to hosting top
quality conference opportunities for Academic Libraries. For more than a
decade the MSU Libraries has hosted the Mid-South eResource Symposium,
as well as pioneering discussions about technology in libraries with the
Emerging Technologies Summit. Both conferences have experienced growing
popularity and attracted a national following. Building on that success
and finding common ground between the two conferences, the MSU Libraries
are relaunching them this year as the MSU Libraries eResource and
Emerging Technologies Summit (MSU-LEETS).
