Please mark your calendars for--

Making the E-Resource Infrastructure Work:
Effective Metadata Exchange & Exposure

Saturday, June 23, 1:30-3:30, Washington Convention Center, Room 140 A/B

In a few short years, we have built and now rely on an 
e-resources access infrastructure largely based on the invention 
of the OpenURL, DOIs, and data exchange and harvesting.  This 
infrastructure is both robust and fragile, and is dependent on 
the cooperation of many players to make it work seamlessly. 
Experts from libraries, publishing, database production, system 
providers and search engine providers will discuss the multiple 
facets of this infrastructure.
