Register now for the *Great Lakes E-Summit*, a regional conference 
focused on *electronic resources*!

The "Summit"  is your opportunity to engage your peers and learn from 
the experts in an intimate discussion-friendly setting.  This year the 
conference's first day will focus on the topic of tools and techniques 
for decision making.  The day will lead off with a keynote by usage 
statistics guru, Oliver Pesch of EBSCO. Following the keynote will be 
programs featuring tools to facilitate selection decisions, techniques 
for gathering and analyzing usage statistics, an exercise on 
establishing a usage statistics gathering workflow, tips for working 
with selectors,  a system for disseminating usage statistics and 
engaging college deans to support buy-in in the decision making process 
and more. The day will conclude with an open forum where attendees will 
have an opportunity to share their experiences,  learn from others' 
stumbles and successes, and ask those perplexing usage statistics 
questions from one of the foremost leaders in the field.

Following in the tradition of our inaugural conference's hugely popular 
Panel of Regional Experts, day two of the Summit will feature an 
engaging and informative discussion with a Panel of Industry Experts 
from the publishing, vendor, consultant, and library sectors.  Please

discussion with Bob Boissy, Manager of Account Development & Strategic 
Alliances at Springer, Katy Ginanni, Collection Development Librarian 
for Western Carolina University, Kittie Henderson, Director of Academic 
and Law Divisions at EBSCO, and Dan Tonkery, President and founder of 
Content Strategies.  Of note, the panel includes the current and two
