Register now for the Great Lakes E-Summit, a regional
conference focused on electronic resources!
The "Summit" is your opportunity to engage your peers and learn
from the experts in an intimate discussion-friendly setting. This
year the conference's first day will focus on the topic of tools and
techniques for decision making. The day will lead off with a
keynote by usage statistics guru, Oliver Pesch of EBSCO. Following
the keynote will be programs featuring tools to facilitate selection
decisions, techniques for gathering and analyzing usage statistics,
an exercise on establishing a usage statistics gathering workflow,
tips for working with selectors, a system for disseminating usage
statistics and engaging college deans to support buy-in in the
decision making process and more. The day will conclude with an open
forum where attendees will have an opportunity to share their
experiences, learn from others' stumbles and successes, and ask
those perplexing usage statistics questions from one of the foremost
leaders in the field.
Following in the tradition of our inaugural conference's hugely
popular Panel of Regional Experts, day two of the Summit will
feature an engaging and informative discussion with a Panel of
Industry Experts from the publishing, vendor, consultant, and
library sectors. Please join us for what is sure to be a lively,
informative, and motivating discussion with Bob Boissy, Manager of
Account Development & Strategic Alliances at Springer, Katy
Ginanni, Collection Development Librarian for Western Carolina
University, Kittie Henderson, Director of Academic and Law Divisions
at EBSCO, and Dan Tonkery, President and founder of Content
Strategies. Of note, the panel includes the current and two former
presidents of the North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG), an
independent organization that promotes communication and sharing of
ideas among all members of the serials information chain.
