Will you be at the American Library Association Conference in San
Francisco this June? Do you have a great new technology idea that
you'd like to share informally with colleagues? How about a story
related to a clever tech project that you just pulled off at your
institution, successfully, or less-than-successfully?

The LITA Program Planning Committee (PPC) is now accepting proposals
for a round of Lightning Talks to be given at ALA.

To submit your idea please fill out this form: http://goo.gl/4NbBY2

The lightning rounds will be Saturday June 27, 10:30 - 11:30

All presenters will be given 5 minutes to speak.

Proposals are due Monday, May 4 at midnight.  Questions? Please
contact PPC chair, Debra Shapiro, [log in to unmask]

AND

The Collection Management and Electronic Resources Interest Group
(CMERIG) is seeking proposals for our meeting to be held on Sunday,
June 28, 2015 at 3:00pm during the ALA Annual 2015 Conference in San
Francisco, California.

We are interested in efforts to improve electronic resource sharing in
academic libraries, preferably case studies that demonstrate how
libraries have reorganized, altered workflows or otherwise made
substantial changes to their resource sharing and/or interlibrary loan
operations to improve access to electronic resources.

The meeting is scheduled to last one hour with time for two
twenty-five minute presentations (including Q&A). The remaining time
will be reserved for administrative business and further discussion.

We request that the following information be included in each proposal:

• Name, job title, contact information and affiliation of presenter(s)
• Title of presentation
• Abstract (150 -200 words)

Please send your proposal to [log in to unmask] by April 24, 2015.

Thank you,

George Stachokas
Chair, Collection Management and Electronic Resources Interest Group
