The ALCTS CMS Collection Management and Electronic Resources Interest Group (CMERIG) is seeking presentation proposals for our meeting to be held on Sunday, June 25, 2017 from 3:00-4:00 pm during the ALA Annual 2017 conference in Chicago.

 

We are looking for presentations that discuss ways in which libraries are preserving acquired e-resource content. This issue impacts a wide breadth of library services, including collection management, access, data services, and preservation. Example topics include:

 

• Tracking post-cancellation access rights
• Decision making related to post-cancellation access rights
• Preserving electronic content
• Purchasing and managing files (e.g. PDF, datasets, sound recordings)
• PORTICO, LOCKKS, or CLOCKKS use by libraries
• Locally created or hosted solutions for long-term preservation and/or access to e-content
• Providing access to preserved e-content
• Licensing workflows/best practices for ensuring long term access rights
  
  
  

The meeting is scheduled to last one hour with time for several presentations and a bit of administrative business. We request that the following information be included in each proposal:

 

1. Name, job title, contact information and affiliation of presenter(s)
2. Title of presentation
3. Abstract (100 words)
4. Estimated length of presentation

 

Please send your proposal to Sunshine Carter at scarter@umn.edu by Monday, May 15, 2017. Presenters will be notified of selected presentations by Friday, May 19, 2017.

 

Sincerely,

Sunshine Carter (Chair)

Michael Fernandez (Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect)
