Where eResource Professionals Learn, Connect, and Grow.

Learn, Connect, & Grow at ER&L

Since 2005, ER&L has convened a conference and online learning opportunities to support the improvement of the way we collect, manage, maintain, and make accessible electronic resources. As technology and our approach to it changes, iterates and improves, we know our important work is never done. At ER&L, we bring together the many library and industry roles together in a thoughtful, collaborative and education-packed conference.

ER&L Fest 2027

We’ll be gathering again in March 2027 both in Austin, Texas and online. Attendee registration and Exhibit Hall sign-up are now open. Hotel blocks will be available by July 1st, and the Call for Proposals opens August 25th.

Volunteer

Volunteers are the backbone of ER&L. We have more great ideas than we know what to do with! Let us know on our form below if you’re interested in joining our team of volunteers.

ER&L is a friendly, niche conference made possible by a fleet of libraryland volunteers and a small but mighty team led by our librarian founder.

With a focus on a comfortable, inclusive environment and ample networking opportunities, ER&L is a great way to get to know the community.
