From: "Hunter, Karen A (ELS-NYC)" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 01:17:14 +0000 ELSEVIER cordially invites you to attend our 14TH ANNUAL DIGITAL LIBRARIES SYMPOSIUM in conjunction with the 2012 ALA Midwinter Meeting THEME BEYOND THE DATABASE: DIGITAL SERVICES ENABLING PATRONS’ SUCCESS While offering online content is currently the norm for academic libraries, pioneering librarians are now working on ways to support advanced electronic resources, and develop and implement online applications to support teaching and research at their institutions. They offer intellectual access to, interpret, distribute, and preserve the integrity of digital works. Librarians use the latest information technology to perform research, catalog materials, and now they create innovative digital services that help students and library patrons seek and use information. To explore this topic we have invited two technology librarians and a libraries dean to speak on their singular perspectives of how digital services supported by the library impact their patrons’ success. To register, email Lashaon McGee at [log in to unmask], and join us for this lively panel discussion, taking place Saturday, January 21st, 1:30PM-3:30PM, in Room C155, at the Dallas Convention Center.
