Workshop Feature: What are the Serials Catalogers Thinking?!! - 10:15 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.Lisa Furubotten, Director of Cataloging and Metadata, Texas A&M University - College Station
Welcome to a 1 ½ hour overview of the principles and concepts behind serials cataloging -- including chief source, uniform title, basis of description, title changes, etc., linking fields -- to understand how serial records are different from monograph records, how to interpret them, and where to find serials cataloging guidelines. Please feel free to bring your questions about serials and troublesome serial records with 15 min. at the end, especially dedicated to questions.
Translating COUNTER Release 4 to 5 - 1:00-1:30 p.m.Carol Seiler, Account Services Manager, EBSCO
COUNTER, the international Code of Practice for reporting usage of electronic resources, has implemented a radical new release. This vendor-neutral session will explain the rationale behind Release 5. We will also look at Release 4 in comparison to Release 5, including examining specific reports.
OpenAthens vs. EZProxy: Experiences of Implementing a New Authentication System - 1:30-2:00 p.m.Cherie Horhertz, Dean of University Libraries, University of Dallas
The University of Dallas recently made the switch from EZProxy to OpenAthens. This session will provide an overview of the reasons for leaving EZProxy after many years, the implementation process, and the successes and challenges we have encountered during the process.
Migrating to CORAL from a Home-Grown ERM: Why and How - 2:15-2:45 p.m.Leah Hamrick, Electronic Resources Librarian, Texas Christian University
The TCU Library Electronic Resources Management Committee made the decision to migrate from a long-standing home-grown ERM to the open-source CORAL system in 2019. Implementation began in January and is planned to be completed in the summer of 2020. CORAL allows for a granular repository for important information related to our complicated electronic resource portfolio and provides targeted resource and licensing workflow tracking on a much larger scale. Leah will discuss some of the challenges faced and implementation strategies and tips gleaned from a very supportive users group that have eased the migration process.
Panel: Marketing Serials & E-Resources - 2:45-3:30 p.m.Lauren Younger, Instructional Services and Outreach Librarian, University of DallasAmy Castillo, Manager of E-Resources & Scholarly Communication, Tarleton State University
Panelists will share their experiences and projects to market serials & electronic resources collections at their respective libraries.

We look forward to seeing you in 2020!
