"The 2023 CORAL Community Meeting is an opportunity to experience the power of CORAL in action," said Jennifer Weston, Product and Education Specialist at Equinox. "Libraries already using CORAL to manage electronic resources will provide information on the workflows and capabilities that their libraries have with CORAL. As members of the CORAL community, we are excited to host this event and to support the CORAL ERM community. We invite libraries interested in learning more about CORAL to join us – all are welcome!"

CORAL is an open source electronic resource management tool used by libraries and institutions worldwide. CORAL's interoperable modules allow libraries to streamline their management of electronic resources and leverage useful tools such as customized acquisitions workflows, license comparison and management, vendor and subscription management, and COUNTER-compliant reporting tools.

"If you're interested in learning more about CORAL, please join us for the 2023 CORAL Community Meeting," said Rebecca Tatterson, Electronic Resources Librarian at East Carolina University. "Presented by members of the CORAL Steering Committee, presentations will be followed by a community discussion in which we will answer questions and information about how CORAL is used at our libraries. We hope to see you there!"
