Resource Sharing Unbound: Directions for Massachusetts
Tuesday, May 15, 2012, 9:30 am – 3:30 pm
College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Massachusetts

HOSTED BY THE MASSACHUSETTS BOARD OF LIBRARY COMMISSIONERS AND THE MASSACHUSETTS LIBRARY SYSTEM

Electronic resources provide an opportunity and a challenge for libraries of all types.  Massachusetts residents have traditionally enjoyed a vigorous sharing environment.  Today’s structure for the licensing and delivery of e-content are challenges to sharing.  How will we proactively address the challenges posed by e-content?

Resource Sharing Unbound brings together academic, public, school and special libraries to seek a vision and potential solutions to that urgent question.

Leaders in our field will launch the exploration. Our keynote speaker is James G. Neal, Vice President for Information Services and University Librarian, Columbia University.
