Hong Kong
We are delighted to invite you to participate in the above conference.
This conference is an initiative of the Electronic Resources Academic Library
Link (ERALL) project, and is organized by the City University of Hong
Kong and the Chinese University
of Hong Kong. ERALL is a consortium formed by the
eight members of the Joint University Librarians Advisory Committee
(JULAC - i.e. the eight Hong Kong
university libraries). The consortium purchases E-Books for shared and
perpetual access among the eight member libraries. The conference which
marks the 40th anniversary of JULAC will be held at the Chinese
University of Hong Kong.
We
have finalized the conference program, which features 20 paper presentations in
four themes, 1) Users and the Print to E-book Continuum, 2) Collection
Development, 3) Consortial Purchasing, and 4) E-book Publishing and Trends. We
are happy to have invited Mr. Tom Sanville, Executive Director of OhioLINK, and
Mr. Andrew Wells, University Librarian of the University
of New South Wales and President of
the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) as the keynote speakers.
The presenters are practicing librarians with E-book research and experiences,
consortium leaders from several Asian countries and leading E-book publishers.
There is a Pre-conference Seminar with free admission on June 2. Please visit
the conference website for more details.
You are
cordially invited to attend this conference and help to distribute this
announcement to members of your library association. As space is limited,
