Friday evening E-resource Management meeting at ALA in Orlando

[Kimberly Parker <kimberly.parker@yale.edu>]

Posting on behalf of Tim Jewell:

Apologies for the cross-posting to lists.

This is to let you know that there will again be an open Friday evening
E-resource Management discussion meeting at ALA Annual:

Time:		Friday, June 25th, 7:30-9:30
Location: 	Renaissance Orlando Resort, Crystal Ballroom A/B

As in the past, the purpose is to share information and discuss
initiatives in this area, including the DLF Electronic Resource Management
Initiative, as well as local and vendor development efforts. Please come
and participate in the discussion, if you can!

Agenda:

1. DLF Electronic Resource Management Initiative project final report.

The group is in the process of completing the proposed "Deliverables" and
getting them ready for publication. As part of a quick summary of the
project results, we will spend some time summarizing the XML investigation
that was conducted over the last few months and reported on at the DLF
Spring Forum ( http://www.diglib.org/forums/Spring2004/robertson0404.htm).

As in the past, the most current versions of the deliverables are posted
to the "Web Hub for E-resource Metadata":
(http://www.library.cornell.edu/cts/elicensestudy/dlfdeliverables/home.htm),
and over the next few weeks the project's steering committee expects to
post "final draft" versions of most of them there.

2. Vendor announcements and updates (This section should include some
interesting announcements.)

3. Local development news

4. Possible formation of ERM interest groups (through ALCTS and LITA) for
ongoing discussions.
