ALA/LITA Standards IG Program Announcement
From: Judy Jeng <jj...@NJCU.edu>

American Library Association Annual Conference
Chicago, Illinois
Program Announcement


WHEN: Saturday, July 11, 2009, 3:30-5:30 p.m.

WHERE: Palmer House, Chicago Room

TOPIC: SERU (Shared E-Resources Understanding)

SPEAKER: Clinton K. Chamberlain, Coordinator for Electronic
Resource Acquisitions, University of Texas at Austin

SERU (Shared E-Resources Understanding), a NISO recommended practice
designed to help relieve both librarians and publishers of labor-
intensive license negotiations, is seeing adoption by a growing number
of libraries, publishers, and consortia. This program will provide
attendees with an understanding of the history, development, and
application of SERU, and will demonstrate situations in which the
adoption of SERU could serve as an alternative to license agreements.

The 2nd part of the program will be NISO updates from Todd Carpenter,
Managing Director, National Information Standards Organization (NISO).

We are also calling for volunteers to serve as Chair-Elect for
2009/2010 and then as Chair for 2010/2011. Please send your nomination
or self-nomination to je...@acm.org.
