Proposal Deadline: Proposals will be evaluated as they are 
received, and priority may be given to those who submit early. 
The Proposal Deadline is October 15, 2008.

Proposal Evaluation: The committee will evaluate each proposal on 
the basis of subject matter (including, but not limited to, the 
issues listed in the topic descriptions), clarity, and 
timeliness. We will also hold a period of open voting to allow 
potential attendees to help shape the program. Proposals should 
be for original work that has not been published. We may request 
that some presenters combine sessions with complementary subject 
matter.

Compensation: Presenters receive 50% off the cost of 
registration.

More info: ER&L provides a forum for information professionals to 
explore ideas, trends, and technologies related to electronic 
resources and digital services. The idea of this event is to 
bring together stakeholders inside and outside of the library to 
look at the impact the digital environment has on library 
collections, access to resources, and our organizations. We 
invite various perspectives and approaches to managing, promoting 
and accessing electronic resources. We hope to foster 
collaborative, cross-departmental, cross-community approaches to 
the issues e-resources have brought to our environment.
