> We are pleased to announce the beginning of a discussion list, Electronic
> Resources in Libraries.  ERIL is a forum for discussion of the practical
> aspects of handling electronic resources.  Issues covered could include:
> collection development policy, electronic journal holdings, use
statistics,
> licensing and negotiation, product set-up and maintenance, and specific
> product issues.  Emphasis is on the sharing of experiences and expertise
> among librarians in this relatively new area of the profession and the
list
> is therefore limited to librarians.  For more information or to subscribe,
> please visit http://www.topica.com/lists/eril.
>
> We are also forming a collaborative organization of librarians from all
> walks in the profession to pool their talents.  Impromptu and planned
> meetings of electronic resources librarians will be organized at all
> conferences and other venues where we express an interest.  This
> organization, also going by the name ERIL, will share actions taken and
> information learned with all other electronic resource librarians via the
> ERIL list and the ERIL group-maintained web site, which is currently in
the
> planning stages.  Further information about the web site will be posted as
> it develops.
>
> Join us at meetings, conferences and coffee shops near you.
