Please click here to register.  Registration will be closed on Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013. A confirmation with instruction for collecting registration fee will be sent out after registration closed. Except for publishers/vendors for the Tuesday workshop, CEAL members are given first priority over non-CEAL members.

3)    The audience will have recommended criteria to evaluate the e-content presentation and metadata for resources;
4)    The librarians will be able to communicate with publishers/vendors of East Asian materials on whether they are compliant with these best practices when negotiating and signing license agreements; and
5)    The publishers/vendors will be able to create quality e-content and associated metadata to effectively support different levels of user discovery as well as to eliminate access problems that consume staff time for resolution.
