Call for Proposals: CMERIG at ALA Annual 2015 - Case Studies in Electronic
Resource Sharing
The Collection Management and Electronic Resources Interest Group (CMERIG)
is seeking proposals for our meeting to be held on Sunday, June 28, 2015 at
3:00pm during the ALA Annual 2015 Conference in San Francisco, California.
We are interested in efforts to improve electronic resource sharing in
academic libraries, preferably case studies that demonstrate how libraries
have reorganized, altered workflows or otherwise made substantial changes
to their resource sharing and/or interlibrary loan operations to improve
access to electronic resources.
The meeting is scheduled to last one hour with time for two twenty-five
minute presentations (including Q&A). The remaining time will be reserved
for administrative business and further discussion.
We request that the following information be included in each proposal:
* Name, job title, contact information and affiliation of
presenter(s)
* Title of presentation
* Abstract (150 -200 words)
Please send your proposal to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
by April 24, 2015.
Thank you,

ALCTS webinar: Using LibGuides in Technical Services
Date: Wednesday, April 15, 2015
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: Technical services departments in academic libraries have
struggled to communicate effectively with other library departments,
particularly public services departments. As academic libraries acquire
large numbers of digital resources, technical services departments are
increasingly responsible for providing current information about those
resources to public services staff. In this webinar, the presenter will
discuss the process of creating, testing, and implementing a LibGuide as a
way of communicating much-needed information between technical services and
public services staff at Miami University Libraries.
Learning outcomes: Upon completion of this session, attendees will have
learned how to efficiently utilize external sources (e.g., RSS feeds,
Google forms and docs, widgets) within a LibGuide. Attendees will also
learn the value of a LibGuide for technical services work and intra-library
communications.
Who should attend? Technical services department staff and managers,
including acquisitions, cataloging, serials, or e-resources staff;
collection management staff
Presenter: Jennifer Bazeley has a BM and an MM in viola performance from
the Eastman School of Music, and an MLIS from Dominican University in
Illinois. She has worked in technical services at the library in the Field
Museum in Chicago, the Mason Public Library in Ohio, and the library at the
Cincinnati Art Museum. She began working in the Miami University Library in
Oxford, OH in 2009, and is currently Interim Head of Technical Services.
