2019 Workshop

Please join us for a vendor neutral one day interactive program on all things serials. The morning will be devoted to defining the world of serials, discussing the life cycle of e-resources, and other factors to consider in serials-land. It will include defining the terms to ordering/selecting to maintaining serials—plus a glimpse at other considerations tangent to serials management. We will look at special considerations for public and academic libraries.

As the day progresses, we will move from basic serials to how serials interact in various platforms. The workshop will conclude in the afternoon with breakout sessions to share individual experiences with each system.

This session is appropriate for anyone who wants to learn more about serials; whether you are new to serials or jumped in the deep end with no direction. It is vendor and library type neutral.

Come prepared with your questions and to discuss your specific serials neighborhood!

The registration fee is $25, which includes breakfast and lunch, and will be hosted by the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas.

Registration is closed.
