presentation will be held Saturday, June 23 from 1:30 - 3:30 pm in

HYATT-Grand Ballroom B 21. Presentations should be about 20 minutes in

Topic: Electronic Resource Librarians can't work in a vacuum.

Collaboration with colleagues in our libraries, on our campuses, or within

our consortia as well communication with subscription agents and vendors

are an important part of an ERL's responsibilities. The discussion will

center on the research and experience of electronic resources librarians

as they work with other players on the electronic resources scene to

foster effective relationships.

The presentations will be followed with a question and answer session, as

well as an open forum for audience members to share experiences with the

panel participants and each other.

Please send abstracts of presentations to ERIG chair, Liz Babbitt,

The election of a vice chair/chair elect for 2012-2014 will be held at the

same meeting. Please contact Clara Ann Ruttenberg, crutten@umd.edu if you
