Keeping Current with Electronic Resources and Libraries

Abstract

Those seeking to understand current trends in serials and collection development often gather at established conferences such as the Charleston Conference and the North American Serials Interest Group. A relative newcomer, Electronic Resources & Libraries, brings together technical services personnel, public services personnel, web developers, systems librarians, vendors, policy makers, and standards experts, forming lively communities of professionals working together to develop, deliver, and evaluate e-resources.
