Description
With 97% of documents distributed by GPO available in electronic format, new challenges and opportunities have arisen. How do you make your patrons aware of what the feds have to offer when book displays are not an option? Hear how other libraries have tackled the challenge of making electronic items known to their users through clever use of metadata tools, catalogs and locally hosted documents. Participants will leave with a sense of what's possible and how to start building their own electronic collections.
