Librarians overseas might be interested to know of an Managing Electronic Resources Seminar in London September 9, 2005.

"Managing electronic resources is already a challenging issue for librarians, as it is for the other participants in the information chain – intermediaries and publishers. If solutions are to emerge that will enable e-resources to be used to their full potential, cut the administration costs and widen the market, then it is essential that all parties engage in open discussion to try and learn from current best practice so as to shape the services of tomorrow. This seminar brings together those with the experience and understanding of the issues and potential solutions to help disseminate best practice and to answer your specific questions."
