On Wednesday, March 16, the 17th meeting of Electronic Resources and Libraries will convene online for Camp ER&L. A foundational piece of the 2022 program is a series of questions developed by the ER&L program planning committees called “big questions.”
Each of these big questions will be surfacing an element of work happening under the umbrella of this big question. One of the most exciting questions to look forward to is “What does innovation look like?”
EVENT: Big Question on the Live Stream: What does innovation look like?
DATE: Wednesday, March 16, 2022
TIME: 2:00 pm – 3:20 pm CT
Innovators thrive in the e-resources ecosystem by implementing new, creative ideas and technologies to improve current practices and develop newer, more efficient ways to accomplish our goals.
- Are we doing our work in the best ways possible using what is available to us?
- Are we thinking about how new technologies might benefit e-resource management?
- Are we contemplating new partnerships as our work evolves?
These three talks will be followed by a group panel Q&A on our big question.
An afternoon about innovation continues with the final to this Wednesday afternoon program. Listen to short-format talks from Technology from SAGE Innovators Award Finalists. Hear live as the winning project is announced and awarded.

Innovation is everywhere.
Innovation need not be an expensive or large-scale endeavor. It is simply the process of innovating — improving or even simplifying the existing state of being. Innovation can be incremental. The pandemic has required much of us all. Flexibility, nimbleness, and creativity have been demanded. We are showcasing examples of tech innovations that have removed barriers to knowledge to better support teaching and learning across campus. We encourage you to attend this award session, an acknowledgment, and celebration of our collective efforts and successes.
The role of librarians is transforming and expanding, and at SAGE, we are investing in groundbreaking ideas that support a future where the library is even more pivotal to enabling research and teaching workflows. Technology from SAGE is about removing barriers to knowledge for patrons – challenges that librarians know best – and with this award, we hope to amplify and empower librarians who are innovating, creating, improving, and simplifying the patron experience.
Established by Technology from SAGE, a portfolio of digital services from Lean Library, Talis, and Adam Matthew, in partnership with Electronic Resources and Libraries (ER&L), the Technology from SAGE Innovators Awards recognize technological innovations in eresources librarianship, especially in support of pedagogy and/or research workflows across campus. The winning innovations will show how they have used technology to remove barriers to knowledge, reflecting the spirit of innovation upon which Technology from SAGE was launched.
