Electronic Resources & Libraries 2015 Online Conference Schedule

The MU Libraries have registered for the Electronic Resources & Libraries 2015 online conference for February 23-25. They will be broadcasting sessions from multiple tracks simultaneously, so several rooms within Ellis Library have been reserved. In addition, they are taping the sessions that are not being streamed live and making those available the next day.

Access to Web of Science is due to UM System funding, but the UM Libraries will likely need to provide future funding at some point.
