Whether marketing and training events or ‘behind the scenes’ analysis projects, collaborations of all shapes and sizes can benefit librarians and vendors alike. Hear specific examples from both sides, including past success stories and areas of opportunity in 2015. Each example will include background information, goals, and lessons learned. Audience members will have the chance to share their own thoughts and personal experiences.
Learning objectives: Hear specific examples of collaborative events and projects from the perspective of both a librarian at a large university and a major STM publisher. Discover how both sides can benefit by maximizing the resources available in each other.

Come meet SCELC and TexShare at ER&L! SCELC is hosting a meet-up with Texas librarians so you can learn more about the growing SCELC-TexShare partnership, and the licensing opportunities afforded by the efforts of two consortia working together.
Texas libraries have expanded choices for licensing electronic content through the SCELC-TexShare partnership. SCELC provides its licensing and other services to academic and nonprofit research libraries to Texas eligible libraries. SCELC and TexShare staff want to talk with you about enhancing your library acquisitions strategy in electronic resources. SCELC specializes in providing access to unique consortial offers for e-journals, ebooks, databases and more. If you are a librarian please drop in and visit. (And if you can't make it the meet-up, be sure to visit the SCELC table at the Vendor Reception & Tabletop Exhibits Monday evening!)
The Association of Research Libraries has stated that a “collaborative future for collections” is crucial to ensuring the continued growth of libraries’ print and digital collections. Shared Shelf, Artstor’s web-based digital media management system, was created to allow librarians to easily collaborate with faculty, students and peers at their own and other institutions to build and manage collections of varied scope, media type, and subject focus.
This session will introduce Shared Shelf and highlight the work of librarians who use the platform to successfully engage users in hands-on collection building and collaborative cataloging. Speakers will discuss how they facilitate collaboration, ways to build partnerships with their users, as well as the tools that can be harnessed to support these processes.
The use cases presented are intended to prompt attendees to consider the ways in which they might develop collaborative collection building efforts on their own campuses.
Oxford University Press is at the early stages of a major initiative to transform its approach to reference publishing in order to better serve the changing needs of university-level digital research. Updated monthly, peer-reviewed, and highly discoverable, the Oxford Research Encyclopedias will provide the necessary grounding for the start of advanced research and will serve as living reference works—mapping the entirety of a field of study as the field evolves. Each ORE module will experience an extensive free-access period, as the article collections grow to a substantial volume.
As Oxford editors begin to commission in-depth, born-digital articles across 20 disciplines (including American History, Environmental Science, Politics, and more), core questions are being raised regarding online access to academic content. Jennifer Wilson, Digital Publishing Analyst and Rebecca Seger, Director of Institutional Sales will explain the ORE mission, provide an update on the program’s process, and lead a discussion about the future of the project.
With the incredible growth of the Internet, social media and mobile device usage, the amount of digital information has exploded in recent years while demands for instant access to e-resources continue to grow. It’s not an easy problem for libraries to solve using fragmented e-resource management solutions and multiple spreadsheets.
OCLC offers tools and services – many included in OCLC Cataloging, Interlibrary Loan and WorldCat Discovery subscriptions – that help libraries solve the e-resource management puzzle, so you can put electronic materials in the hands of your users fast.
In this session, you will learn how to leverage existing OCLC subscriptions with quality metadata that is cooperatively managed in the WorldCat database and the WorldCat knowledge base to:
1) Help users:
2) Help libraries:
Pick and choose which pieces you need to solve your e-resource management puzzle. Join us to learn more.
The American Psychological Association (APA) is organizing a focus group session that will take place during the Electronic Resources & Libraries 2015 meeting. We are looking for attendees who can talk with us about their institutions’ electronic resource management and the technical infrastructure they support. We’re also interested in learning about your technical challenges and the key things you look for in a vendor relationship.
Honorarium: $25 gift card per participant
If you would like to participate, please provide contact information including your title and institution. We’d appreciate it if you’d let us know of your interest as soon as possible.
Please reply to Anne Breitenbach at abreitenbach@apa.org
Additional details and preparatory materials will be provided to participants closer to the date.
As collections have become predominantly digital, the requirements for managing and providing access to a library’s holdings have changed. As a result, we all know that library workflows must evolve. It is imperative that libraries have the tools to move forward and meet rapidly changing expectations of administration and of your patrons.
Join us for lunch Wednesday, February 25 at Noon to hear about two major initiatives to give you those tools and support this transformation:
