From: Jill Emery <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:41:28 -0800 A number of updates regarding the forthcoming Electronic Resources & Libraries Conference to be held 2-4 April 2012 in Austin, Texas. 1. We've received a record number of 110 program submissions for the 2012 conference! 2. The program planning committee is now furiously reviewing the submissions and we'll be putting the proposals out for public vote on 19-20 December 2011. Watch for the announcement regarding the voting via twitter: ERandL or check the facebook page: Electronic Resources & Libraries (ER&L), or LinkedIn group page, & web site: http://www.electroniclibrarian.com/ 3. Presenters will be notified of their program acceptance on 22 December and the final accepted sessions will be announced on 27 December 4. If you're looking for a holiday gift for that electronic resources librarian on your list, early bird registration goes through 5 January 2012! 5. Unfortunately, all of the conference rate hotel rooms in the conference venue have been booked but there are still rooms available in the conference hotel & at other local hotels. Happy holidays to one & all!
