We are hosting a major Electronic Resources Event in Phoenix on February 23rd!

Imagine a full day focused on current and potential AZ Electronic Resources where you can connect in person with e-resource vendors and library professionals. You are imagining the 2017 AzLA E-Resources Forum! At this full day event you'll learn about the latest e-resource updates, features and strategic directions and will also have a chance to ask questions and connect directly with the sources about issues that impact your library users and your budget. Statistical reporting, marketing efforts and communication will be given special attention in presentations and panels. Most major e-resource vendors are expected to attend in-person as well as library staff representatives from most major public, academic and community college across the entire state of Arizona. Breakfast, beverages and lunch will be provided and a reception will follow the day’s formal events. Attendance will be capped at 100 and we expect a full house so be sure to register soon!
