This workshop has reached capacity.
Target Audience: Library directors, electronic resources librarians and others seeking to streamline and improve the overall management of electronic resources
Learning Outcomes:
1. Participants will be prepared to list five best practices for the management of electronic resources.
2. Participants will be able to identify key positions needed to manage electronic resources.
Electronic resources present managers with distinct challenges, including personnel, workflow, licensing, and marketing issues. A central tool for handling these challenges is an effective management program that supports and maintains both expanding electronic collections and diminishing print collections. Does your library use a complex variety of staff roles and interactions to manage electronic resources? This workshop will explore best practices for managing electronic resources. Panelists will address administrative and technical issues including: selection, access, workflow analysis, licensing options, ERM vendors, training, marketing, and staffing. Attendees will participate in the review of ERM tasks and design job descriptions for ERM staff. Learn to manage electronic resources and not allow them to manage you! A pre-workshop list of selected readings will be available to attendees.
