ER&L is currently seeking workshop proposals and ER&L 101 courses for the 2018 conference, to be held March 4-7, 2018 in Austin, Texas. *What is an ER&L Workshop?* A workshop is a 4-hour intensive course designed to take the attendee into subject matter with a knowledgeable instructor. Workshops are typically interactive with instruction spanning exercises and practical applications to supplement the instruction. Workshops will be held 1-5 pm on Sunday, April 2nd and Wednesday, April 5th. *NEW FOR 2018: ER&L 101* Along with workshops, ER&L is also looking for half-day courses to help introduce an attendee to a foundational area of librarianship (such as licensing, e-book management, troubleshooting) or an emerging but important topic starting at an introductory level. These courses would not require background knowledge of the topic and would be appropriate for a practitioner new to e-resources or as an introduction to a new topic. These courses will be held 1-5 pm Sunday, March 4th and will be part of a larger set of 101 sessions throughout the ER&L conference. Potential 101 topics might include (but are not limited to): - Troubleshooting e-resources (link resolvers, A-Z lists, discovery layers, knowledgebases, etc.) - E-resource workflows/lifecycle - Intro to tools (ERMs, MARCedit, OpenRefine, EZProxy, etc.) - Intro to coding - Intro to APIs - E-book management - Project management *Submission Deadline*: Friday, August 25, 2017 Workshop proposals may be submitted via ProposalSpace at https://proposalspace.com/calls/d/782 Further information is available online at https://www.electroniclibra rian.org/2018-call-for-workshops/ Please direct any questions to ER&L staff at [log in to unmask]
