Spotlight Your E-Resources

Virtual E-Resources Conference Series

CLiC’s Virtual E-Resources Conference Series is over. The series consisted of a half day kick off event followed by four one hour of multiple sessions to help energize you to spotlight your e-resources!
This was a time for libraries and vendors to come together to learn from one another and share knowledge.

As libraries, we spend a lot of money on electronic resources. It can be a challenge to promote and display these in our print-centric organizations. These sessions was a year dedicated to exploring new and creative ways to showcase your e-resources.  

What we wanted to learn?

1. How to use products in practical ways, not just features. Real-world examples.

2. How to promote electronic resources.

3. How to set up electronic resources on a library website to promote discoverability.
