CFP: CMERIG at ALA Annual 2015 – Case Studies in Electronic Resource Sharing

The Collection Management and Electronic Resources Interest Group (CMERIG) is seeking proposals for our meeting to be held on Sunday, June 28, 2015 at 3:00pm during the ALA Annual 2015 Conference in San Francisco, California.

We are interested in efforts to improve electronic resource sharing in academic libraries, preferably case studies that demonstrate how libraries have reorganized, altered workflows or otherwise made substantial changes to their resource sharing and/or interlibrary loan
operations to improve access to electronic resources.

The meeting is scheduled to last one hour with time for two twenty-five minute presentations (including Q&A). The remaining time will be reserved for administrative business and further discussion.

We request that the following information be included in each proposal:

• Name, job title, contact information and affiliation of presenter(s)

• Title of presentation

• Abstract (150 -200 words)

Please send your proposal to gstachok@purdue.edu by April 24, 2015.

Thank you,


George Stachokas
