ER&L is currently seeking workshop proposals and ER&L 101 courses for
the 2018 conference, to be held March 4-7, 2018 in Austin, Texas.

What is an ER&L Workshop?
A workshop is a 4-hour intensive course designed to take the attendee
into subject matter with a knowledgeable instructor. Workshops are
typically interactive with instruction spanning exercises and
practical applications to supplement the instruction. Workshops will
be held 1-5 pm on Sunday, April 2nd and Wednesday, April 5th.

NEW FOR 2018: ER&L 101
Along with workshops, ER&L is also looking for half-day courses to
help introduce an attendee to a foundational area of librarianship
(such as licensing, e-book management, troubleshooting) or an emerging
but important topic starting at an introductory level. These courses
would not require background knowledge of the topic and would be
appropriate for a practitioner new to e-resources or as an
introduction to a new topic. These courses will be held 1-5 pm Sunday,
March 4th and will be part of a larger set of 101 sessions throughout
the ER&L conference.

Potential 101 topics might include (but are not limited to):

Troubleshooting e-resources (link resolvers, A-Z lists, discovery
layers, knowledgebases, etc.)
E-resource workflows/lifecycle
Usage statistics
Intro to tools (ERMs, MARCedit, OpenRefine, EZProxy, etc.)
Intro to coding
Intro to APIs
E-book management
Project management
Data visualization

Submission Deadline: Friday, August 25, 2017
