Title:  Making the E-Resource Infrastructure Work: Effective Metadata Exchange & Exposure

Saturday, June 23, 1:30-3:30, Washington Convention Center, Room 140 A/B

Description:  In a few short years, we have built and now rely on an e-resources access infrastructure largely based on the invention of the OpenURL, DOIs, and data exchange and harvesting.  This infrastructure is both robust and fragile, and is dependent on the cooperation of many players to make it work seamlessly.  Experts from libraries, publishing, database production, system providers and search engine providers will discuss the multiple facets of this infrastructure.
