Description
Summary:Purpose - To keep librarians and colleagues informed about the issues and programs of the Electronic Resources & Libraries (ER&L) Conference held in Atlanta, Georgia on the Georgia Institute of Technology campus in February 2007.Design methodology approach - Provides a review of the conference.Findings - Acquisitions staff, catalogers, public service staff, administrators, IT personnel, information providers from the vendor side, content managers, and others all came together to assess what needs to be done to continue high servicing of both born digital and electronically available resources in a hybrid environment that continues to describe all library settings today. As the percentage of electronic resources quickly grows, there are new challenges in acquiring, caring for, servicing, preserving, using and citing them that keep librarians up at night to consider short-and long-term solutions in how they should be organized bibliometrically and how we can re-engineer some of our procedures to best treat the wide range of e-Resources now common in all libraries.Originality value - The program blended services with processing reinforcing the importance of electronic resources for the "total" library environment. It seemed like there was nothing left out.
