Get an “outside-in” customer-focused view on how to manage today’s
increasingly complex electronic collections. Hear solutions-based
perspectives of librarians, publishers, and system vendors on usage
statistics, ERM systems, repository management, digital rights and
licensing, and systems integration. Learn the practical steps you can take
today to maximize the value of your electronic collections from others' best
practices and case studies. 
 
You will get practical answers to:

•   Who is using your collections, and how 
•   How to automate the collection management process 
•   What decisions are needed for effective repository management 
•   How to handle copyright and licenses for electronic content 
•   What you can do to integrate your collections and improve end user
access 
 
**JUST ADDED***
Herbert Van de Sompel will share research that can help you use item level
usage information to build better collections and  improve your recommender
systems—and that can help us all assess the relative value of scholarly
research.
 
**OTHER HIGHLIGHTS AND ADDITIONS**
Marshall Breeding will help you understand how technology is reshaping the
way your users find, access, use and even create information.  He will also
help you understand how you need to think about shaping your collections in
response to these changes. 
 
Peter McCracken, Co-founder and Director of Electronic Content Management of
Serials Solutions can help you understand the lifecycle of today’s journal
article and how this impacts the use of your publications or collections. 
 
Find out what you can learn about making your publications or collections
visible on the Web from OCLC’s Open WorldCat experience from Mike Teets,
Vice President, OCLC Global Product Architecture.
