On Sunday, June 27, from 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. I will be part of a panel on open source tools for technical services and William will be on hand to answer questions.
Here’s more about the program:
Open to Change: Open Source and Next Generation ILS and ERMS
ALCTS – AS, ALCTS – CRS Washington Convention Center -146C Collection Management & Technical Services
Join us in thinking outside the out-of-the-box, proprietary ILS or ERM as the members of this panel discuss the latest developments in open source library applications. Although much attention has been paid to the promise of open source and new technologies for the OPAC, this panel will shed light on how next-generation technology, open source projects, and the widespread sharing of home-grown solutions can help change the game in acquisitions and e-resource management.
Speakers: Galadriel Chilton, University of Wisconsin La Crosse, Electronic Resources Librarian; Bill Erickson, Equinox Software, VP of Software Development & Integration; Joshua Ferraro, LibLime, CEO; Robert H. McDonald, Indiana University, Associate Dean for Library Technologies & Executive Director, Kuali OLE.
Then, on Sunday evening at 5:30 pm, William and I will be at the Coutts Award Ceremony in the Renaissance Washington Hotel, Grand Ballroom South/Central.
If you’re available before or after either event, please seek us out, we’d both love to talk with hear your ideas for ERMes’ future, answer questions, etc.!
