Thank you to all of our #ERL26 attendees!

Please don't forget to fill out the ER&L Fest Survey (available via email or the PheedLoop platform) to let us know your thoughts.

We appreciate your comments and feedback!

There's always this bit of energy let-down once you finish both a presentation and the entire conference itself, especially if both happen on the same day. Oof. I'm tired and brain-ful right now. #ERL26

We're wrapping up with a fireside chat as we wind down #ERL26.

We've had a great time this week, and we're already looking forward to your feedback to start preparing for next year!

Thank you, everyone!

#ERL26 breakfasts are great. But today a group from a different conference crashed our breakfast, sat near an erl26 attendee, & proceeded to loudly trash talk the other breakfasters. So glad they aren’t my colleagues!! Love my community.

Leanna Pagano speaks about data visualization and stepping outside one's comfort zone with technology

Leanna Pagano reminds us: "You don't need to be a data wizard or have the 'right' background to start this journey" in "Taking Library Data out of Spreadsheets: Lessons from a novice who had no business using Power BI to visualize data, but did it anyway."

Take a leap; surprise yourself! #ERL26

Final day of the conference is always bittersweet. We've learned so much, met great people, and had a wonderful time in the process. Today, I'm speaking about vendor a11y conversations after the April ADA deadline. #ERL26

Dear librarians: you can randomize within Excel. You do not need the planet-burning lie machine to do it for you. #ERL26

I'm currently attending "Library Licensed E-Textbooks: Creating value for students, the library, and the university as a whole" and thinking about costs and barriers involved, but I'm glad to be part of the conversation.

What's everyone else watching today? #ERL26

We had some Bluesky service interruptions this afternoon, but we hope everyone enjoyed their sessions and posters.

We'll see everyone tomorrow for the final day of #ERL26, filled with more festivities. Online attendees: don't we have live virtual sessions after the closing keynote!

ER&L JeoParody's 2026 winner is Sally Glasser, our eresources librarian contestant! Thanks to our additional participants, Nicole Ameduri (publisher contestant) and Morag Boyd (vendor contestant), and our fearless leaders, Carol Seiler and Steven Shadle! #ERL26

Is there any way to access #ERL25 videos? Someone just mentioned a talk they did last year about moving from EZproxy to OpenAthens and I waaant it #ERL26

(Assuming they're not online anywhere, maybe I could at least get a copy of the slides from this speaker.)

Throwing this one out to attendees as a midpoint check-in: what's everyone attending right now or what have you been watching the past couple of days? What are your biggest takeaways that keep popping up in your mind so far? #ERL26

DJ Dance Party Time!! #ERL26

I think every online conference should provide a DJ for breaks. #ERL26

Now up on my screen: Timothy Siegel gives us information and advice on library authentication in "Should We Stay or Should We Go? A Multi-Year Exploration of the Library Resource Authentication Landscape."

And yes, we do all have the song stuck in our heads now. 😁 #ERL26
