Libraries have great challenge as they work to deliver content and services in the digital world, and I consider my role and that of ER&L integral to addressing the new issues that arise. In my work in both academic libraries and the ER&L conference, I seek to coalesce information management professionals and spark real change in electronic resource management to prepare for the library of the future.
ER&L is often considered the most nimble, thought-provoking and industry-challenging conference in our field – a rightly earned reputation. It was also the first conference dedicated to focusing on challenges in managing the entire e-resources life cycle. My work in creating and shepherding the ER&L conference, my current post as Head of Electronic Resources & Serials at Harvard Library and my current position as a members of ALA’s Digital Content & Libraries Working Group are reflections of my commitment to the library profession and challenges within it.
