is a community of librarians concerned with the practical aspects of managing electronic resources in libraries. We are from acquisitions, administration, archives, collection development, cataloging, reference, serials, systems, and beyond. We frequently fulfill many of these roles simultaneously, and at times we even blur these designations to better serve our library users.
This community gathers at whatever forum presents itself to combine our experiences providing electronic information services to library customers. We do this not only to learn from others, but to also tap collective power through which we can contribute to and create solutions across the electronic information universe.
At present the listserv is open to library professionals who work in libraries or library services and ask that library professionals who work for vendors not join. We debate this issue periodically and welcome feedback.
A wiki and a Weblog might be communication enhancements to be considered by ERIL members. [Internet Resources Newsletter, Issue 102, Mar 02003]
