Section: ALA Annual Conference

At the 2019 ALA Annual Conference, two librarians from Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), Trisha Prevett and Tim Kerber, hosted a panel discussion entitled “ABCs of Access: A Panel Discussion with Publisher, Aggregator, and University Press.” The panelists were Kim Mitchell (director of open access journals at SAGE Publishing), Frank Smith (director of Books at JSTOR), and Emma Waecker (senior product manager at EBSCO eBooks).

Over fifty people attended the session “Streaming Video: Confronting Barriers to Sharing Between Libraries program” at the 2019 ALA Annual Conference. The program was co-sponsored by the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) Sharing and Transforming Access to Resources Section and the Film and Media Round Table (FMRT). The panel of presenters, all from the Auraria Library at the University of Colorado Denver, talked about their new SILLVR initiative (Streaming Interlibrary Loan for Video Resources).
